After life saving surgery at the start of the year I've been doing some soul searching and re-evaluating a lot in my life, and looking back it astonishes me that I put up with some truly awful people for so long, even when I knew what complete and utter unrepentant shits they were, so, can I ask, who is the worst Human being you have ever known and why?

The shit that beat up my daughter. Infront of her 3 year old. Who has lost her home because of him. Who is now living in a shitty room because if him. And what's he get a short prison sentence in a young offenders unit. Which he's out this month . He then gets counselling and gets to keep his council flat he was given. Whilst my daughter is treated like an inconvenience to the council. Angry

A manager. She was a total unrelenting bitch who would do anything for promotion. She presented a very different face to her manager who thought she was the sweetest/nicest woman alive (and in love with her I suspect). She was utterly vile to every single member of staff whilst being utterly incapable of doing her own job, took credit for everyone else’s work.
She did died. Everyone after the initial shock wasn’t that bothered. Her own manager was heartbroken and couldn’t understand why everyone else wasn’t (I think everyone was just relieved).

My BIL who was literally willing his mother to die because she was an inconvenience and he wanted her house/money. After she died went on about how heartbroken he was, wasn’t sure why DH was upset (genuinely upset) and couldn’t see why he didn’t inherit everything as he had ‘nursed his mother day and night’ he’d barely even seen her.
Frittered away his inheritance in months and regularly asks (when they have to speak) DH what he did with his as we think he is angling for a cut. We’ve got it all in premium bonds thanks.

A woman I know called Shayna but who I always now refer to as Shaytan. It suits her.

My sister’s ex boyfriend. He had moved in with her at my parents house and was paying hardly any rent. He also moved his parents puppy in as they couldn’t control it and it destroyed some of my parents furniture. He told her he wanted to marry her in the future - they were looking at buying a house together (viewing them and everything), planning their future including getting a dachshund, my sister has always wanted one. Problem was, he was a bit scared of committing so my sis often got frustrated with him. He also was funny about money and wouldn’t be open with her about how much he had saved. He spent thousands of pounds on pop vinyl figurines and Lego at the age of 30.

He didn’t come home one night and told her he had stayed with his Nan. When he came back the next day he was suddenly completely different. Told our entire family that my sister was always horrible to him and acted as though she had caused him to be severely depressed. We were all really worried about his mental health as he was just moping around every day, and we were constantly checking in on him to make sure he was ok.

Then he just blanked her. Wouldn’t talk to her at all. We were all really concerned for him and my sister got in touch with his mum to let her know that she was worried about his mental health.
His mum sent a text back to her telling her that she was a nasty little bitch and it was her fault that he was upset.

My sister was devastated at this. She had been frustrated, yes, but had never been horrible to him. They had lived with my parents too so their relationship was very ‘on show’ - we would know if anything more was happening and she definitely wasn’t a nasty little bitch.

Eventually he came and moved his stuff out but wouldn’t talk to anybody. Refused to pay for the furniture his dog had damaged and counted out his money box to make sure we hadn’t stolen any of his pennies.

Turns out he had been cheating on my sister with a girl from work. Obviously feeing guilty he tried to gaslight her and everybody else into believing that she was a horrible person and that he was getting out of an abusive relationship. He had lied to his family too - hence the nasty text from the mum.

He bought a house and a dachshund with the new girl not even 6 months later. Then he got her pregnant soon after. I feel so angry that he gave the new girl the life my sister wanted.

Writing this, it doesn’t seem so bad, but the way he treated her and told his family that she was nasty to him when he was actually cheating on her the whole time is unforgivable in my eyes. I am so angry with him for the pain and hurt my sister went through, and the fact she can no longer trust anybody.

He still spends a ridiculous amount on Lego... for himself.

My school bully. She persecuted me for years and destroyed my self esteem. She ruined my faith in human nature, ravaged my friendships and manipulated me to make herself feel better. I don't care that she had a difficult home life it doesn't excuse the mess she made of mine.

And my brother. He's an arse.

oakleaffy · 05/06/2021 15:11

@Biffbaff
I had the same
We were kicked out of a flat that we’d taken great care of and always paid rent on the dot for- two weeks before I was due to drop.

We had to move cities and I joined a GPS surgery and he wrote a letter for me to give to hospital
He said
“ Please fit this young lady in urgently, she’s come hotfoot from London “

Luckily it was ok
, we had no contract as it was a workmate who had a beautiful house with a floor to rent very affordably smack bang next to Richmond Park.

I suppose we could have fought it- but who needs the stress.

IMNOTSHOUTING · 05/06/2021 15:11

@zyx12 God I can't believe this is common place (makes me relieved both my kids are shit at sport Smile). Even if it wasn't a high ranking competition it doesn't seem petty to object, how frustrating for a kid to be playing their hardest and have the game taken away by a cheat. What kind of parent actually encourages it too? I'd much rather my child lost gracefully.

BoringOldBitch · 05/06/2021 15:14

A hateful bully teacher at secondary school.

Lawdavmercy · 05/06/2021 15:14

A few school mums and their clique made my life hell for a while, vile bunch deliberately excluding my child in their petty little ways and supposedly sensible adults allowing it to happen! My sympathies to everyone who has been on the recieving end of this crap, it is indeed common but thankfully the kids do thrive despite it.

Sometimesfraught82 · 05/06/2021 15:15

I'm a soft touch so I mostly have compassion for the bad eggs. Something awful must've happened to them to make it that way.

Even when these “bad eggs” you affectionately refer to them harm totally innocent and vulnerable children?

blissfulllife · 05/06/2021 15:16

My grandchild's biological father. We don't know how he did it or why but he broke 8 ribs and an arm of my 2 week old 5 pound grandchild. My dd found him not breathing after leaving them alone for literally minutes. He nearly died. Has lasting medical issues probably as a result of his injuries. As he wouldn't admit to harming the baby the baby was taken from my dd and placed in care until court could determine who had inflicted the injuries. Her first child. She was so lost. It broke us as a family.

His lies fell apart in court and my dd was awarded full custody and his parental rights taken from him. In criminal court he got a measly 6 months! Couldn't believe it. Even found out he'd harmed another child previously but ss had failed to inform my dd.

I don't say this lightly but I hate him with every fibre in me

IMNOTSHOUTING · 05/06/2021 15:19

@blissfulllife I'm so sorry for you, your DD and your DGC. I can't even imagine how you've all got through it. Especially since it was perpetrated by someone she must have loved and trusted.

zyx12 · 05/06/2021 15:20

I'mnotshouting absolutely, who would positively encourage unsporting behaviour in their kids? My kids play a lot of sport so I see it a lot. Parents clapping and cheering at an U10 cricket match when members of the opposite team dropped catches and shouting at the umpires about wides/LBWs. A parent (from a posh London school) at an U14 school fixture abusing our referee as he had apparently timed the match too and was of the belief that there was 60 seconds still left to play (having already shouted his views on every single refereeing decision during the match). Some parents seem unable to comprehend that children's sport needs to be enjoyable, no matter what the level.

Kola2021 · 05/06/2021 15:20

A class bully who made up lies about me and encouraged others in my class to torment me too. She works for Action For Children now as far as I know, which surprised me I have to say.

Killergigglebunnies · 05/06/2021 15:23

My uncle, who’s dead now. He was the biggest, sexist, homophobic, racist going. Hideous! My poor df had to pay for his funeral as the fucker didn’t leave any money as he drank and smoked it away. We think he was in drugs too as we found some odd things in his house. Would explain his multiple strokes.

Also, half the school I went to was full of hideous arseholes. You couldn’t get that many in if you tried. One has a sister who’s sons go to the school I work at. All three sisters were awful bitchy and nasty girls. I don’t think she knows who I am but it’s funny hearing the teachers slagging her off in the staff room at how awful she is. Hadn’t changed much then!

LakieLady · 05/06/2021 15:23

A venal and corrupt bully who owned the chain of estate agencies I worked for for a couple of years when I was in my 20s. He would regularly and publicly humiliate staff who he didn't think were selling enough, sexually harrass the women and rip off buyers and sellers.

The final straw was when I found out he'd blocked a surveyor report that had pretty much condemned a house that a man approaching retirement was about to spend his life savings on. The house was at the bottom of a chain that ended in the sale of a massive mansion on an estate that was home to a couple of rock stars, so the commission value of the whole chain was massive. He got a bent surveyor to issue a more favourable report, in exhange for fuck knows what. He had a couple of bent solicitors in his pocket too.

He'd actually been in prison for embezzlement, which put paid to his previous career selling insurance and financial products.

The day I walked out, I vowed that I would never set foot over the threshold of an estate agency again, unless I was buying a house. Thankfully, Rightmove has meant that I haven't even had to do that.

Oh, and he was racist to boot and treated his wife like shit.

A former director when I worked in corporate finance - absolute narcissist.

Too many stories to tell, but my favourite was when I was in my mid twenties and my dad was in a coma on life support from sepsis - expected to die. My director kept calling and messaging me and thought it would be a good idea to courier my laptop to the hospital in my home city, so I could work. Never mind I was in critical care ICU by myself (my mum died 2 years before and only child) by myself, but from a functional standpoint I couldn't use technology at his bed because of all the machines!

Thankfully, he defied the experts and survived but needed 8 weeks in hospital followed by 6 weeks in rehab. During that time I had to fly home every weekend, my director would not approve me to work from home ONE day a week. So I would be on the 10pm Friday night flight out and the 6am Monday morning flight home after spending the weekend with my very sick and depressed father.

As soon as I could, I interviewed for a new role and left the company. I was brutally honest in my exit interview (already had multiple allegations against her). 4 months later I found out on the grapevine she was made redundant.

SilverGoblin · 05/06/2021 15:28

Good idea for a thread.

There was the neighbour who used to hobble to the Job Centre hunched over on walking sticks to sign on. He used to deliver sacks of coal the rest of the time, throwing them over his shoulder like they were made of tissue.

There was the other neighbour who was creepy uncle to several little kids he used babysit. You can guess the rest and yes, he was convicted but only went to prison for a few months...sick. He also used to start fist fights with the teenage girls on the street.

There was the neighbour's son opposite who used to get the police called on him regularly for beating up his girlfriend in the middle of the road.

The factory boss who blackmailed other shop floor workers, threatening their jobs , to lie for him when one of his employees got seriously injured by poorly maintained machinery and non existent safety practices. He got off with no official punishment or fines. He got a bit of comeuppance in the end when he couldn't fire some of them because they knew where the bodies were buried in relation to the original incident and they decided to be troublesome at work.

The same boss's business partner who decided the lower employees didn't need their National Insurance paying so deducted it on the wageslips but kept it. Then decided to put the workers on a two day week during a recession, only for the workers to be refused top up dole money because their NI contributions had unexplainable gaps. Investigated but he got away with it.

The lawyers employed by the Union who sued that company over the missing NI contributions on behalf of the lowly paid employees, won, then kept all the settlement for every union member apart from. £2.75.

I am sure there are more if I think a touch harder as the world is full of random cunts.

My biological father. He's a narcissist and sociopath. How my mum put up with him for so long I don't know. They divorced when I was 10. During my upbringing with him at home I was clearly his favourite. He told me all the time that my mum preferred my sister, but it was ok as he preferred me. I remember asking him if my mum loved me and he said no. When they divorced I was at home with my mum and sister who I had been conditioned to believe hated me. He made up lies about my mum so I'd hate and blame her for everything. I was truly awful to my mum, and not once did she say anything bad about him. When I was 21 I did something he didn't agree with (nothing bad!). And he cut me off. Just like that. I was devastated. Every year I would call him and try to repair our relationship but he had none of it. When I was 27 I called him for the last time. He said: as far as I'm concerned you're dead to me. I've not tried since.
I've had counselling since due to many of his behaviours, and have become very close to my amazing mum. He's one of those people that lies (and believes his own lies), and everyone loves him (until they realise what he's really like). I'm 41 now. Still not over what he did to me psychologically and I don't think I ever will be.

The bulletin “Matron” at a day nursery on East Sheen.
Mum had just died, I was put into a day nursery from about 8am to 6pm while dad worked

I was 2 yrs 8 months and remember it vividly.
The terror of approaching it in my buggy, trying to be placated by dad or an auntie.
The Matrons fat wobbling arms like sides of beef as she forced open our mouths with spoons to eat the disgusting greens with cod liver oil-
She’d lock us in the lavatory until we’d eaten
And any vomiting was punished.

Gave me a phobia about eating and lavatories- and I wonder about the other survivors of that bloody awful place.

The brute will be dead now, but my auntie in later life said
“ I knew she was a badun, but what could we do?
We needed to work.

Luckily CCTV is probably in day nurseries these days.

Definitely the cruellest woman I have met.

IamTheAntiChrist · 05/06/2021 15:30

My DB's partner is the most vile person I know. He is so totally selfish it's quite astounding. My long suffering DB works long hours and travels in order to keep them afloat. BIL won't work - used to, but was sacked from every job he had, mainly for thieving, but also for abusing customers etc. He would deliberately do something to get sacked then raise a claim of homophobia against the employer and take them to court - I know at least 2 small companies he did this with.Eventually they would give in and pay up - he really is so manipulative and grasping. He hasn't worked for 7 years or so now. he uses my poor DB as a cash cow and his mum now expects DB to keep her in the life to which she's become accustomed...poor db just gives in Sad. I wish he would get rid.

He has stolen from all of us - he stole a leather jacket from my younger sibling which had a lot of sentimental value, and he stole a watch from my dad who had only just been buried - his corpse was barely cold. He has a profound and deep rooted sense of entitlement.

On the occasions that DB and BiL come for lunch/dinner/Xmas etc, he sits there playing on his phone and never lifts a finger. Ever. he goes out into the garden and smokes, then returns to play KandyKrush while everyone is rushing around being busy.

When my dad was dying he harrassed him and made his life hell for various reasons which I cannot even bring myself to describe - he's a fucking bastard and then some.

Two years ago I overheard him confiding in his mum that if anything happened to DB (and the cash therefore ran out) he would make sure that me and DH got roped into taking care of him. At that moment I thanked God that I knew completely the extent of his awfulness and have taken steps to ensure he never gets a penny out of us. He doesn't know I heard that convo.

You could be dying of cancer or a recent victim of a violent crime and he would still talk about himself. He is so appalling.

Bullying not bulletin- bloomin spellcheck

Damnthemansavetheempir · 05/06/2021 15:31

The teachers who ignored my daughter when she went to them for help when she was sexually assaulted by a boy who has relentlessly bullied her for years, they failed her so badly. Not only was she sexually assaulted, she had chairs thrown at her, was punched, had scissors held to her throat, when she eventually told us what was going on and we took her out of school, he then turned to hurting her friends because he couldn't get to her. Not one teacher listened to her or helped her, in fact it was some of the other kids in the class that helped her and they were threatened with punishment for doing so. They also victim blamed her, saying well she winds him up!

It wasn't until secondary school when she started counselling that it became apparent that she had told the teachers what he had done, and they just dismissed her, didnt even bother to look into it! So now she is scared
to tell an adult anything because she thinks they won't help, she also has severe anxiety and is dealing with feeling of being unclean, dirty,etc and it being her fault.

And don't even get me started on the boy who has done this to her, he deserves a special place in hell where he has to relive the pain she goes through every day

My NDN is a toxic bitch who has her entire family running around her as often happens in that particular culture. She has tried to get me at her beck and call but Im not having any. Getting very close to a solicitors letter.

She is a whinger extrordinaire and everything has to be done NOW. I inadvertantly took her garden waste bin on wednesday - both of ours are new with no numbers. Shortly afterwards I injured my knee and am hobbling around on a crutch. She came knocking at the door wanting it back. I had gone for a lie down because the pain was making me ill so I spoke to her out of the bedroom window. I told her to take mine for the moment and my nephew would swap them around when he came on friday. No, she wants hers NOW and Im supposed to hobble back downstairs with an injured knee to run after hers for a bin that only gets used once every 2 weeks. We have the same gardener. I told her to f* off.

Later her husband came banging on the door and then 3 times next day. I didnt answer. Nephew and his 6ft 4 inch mate took the bin back yesterday and gave them both down the banks, threatened them with the police if either one ever calls at my house again.

I wish you were allowed to shoot neighbours. Better still hang, draw and quarter them.
