Just that really.

OP posts:

Sent an email to my management team about how shockingly bad at their jobs they were. Totally inept. The worst.

At a disciplinary hearing I was asked to retract my words. I refused, saying I cannot tell lies. Luckily I kept my job, but was sanctioned for 12 months.

Worth it though.

I'm not sure I can narrow it down to just one thing I've done over the years.....

Underamour · 22/09/2021 18:25

I decided to use a popular public forum to air all my grievances with lots of identifying detail. The public fallout wasn’t pretty.

That's the kind of thing I've fantasized about doing if I win the lottery-just go in and cause mayhem indifferent to the consequences.

Many things but I slept with my friend's partner because she did something nasty to me

Harford · 23/09/2021 00:41

What was the nasty thing, so many of these threads go in the same way. The poster says they did something dubious because the victim ''did something bad'' or was ''a bad character'' yet unless you can specifically say what they did then no it's you who did the bad thing, not them.

XenoBitch · 23/09/2021 00:45

I don't have a malicious bone in my body, so nothing exciting to add on that vein.
Although, during a mental health crisis, I did meet a guy on the run from the cops (turns out he beat his girlfriend)... we both had an adventure hiding from the fuzz, and both got arrested at the same time.

LukeEvansWife · 23/09/2021 00:46

She shit stirred with a very dangerous person and told them where I lived. They came round and caused chaos.

So I fucked her partner a couple of times and a week later sat in the room with her and her partner and kids as if nothing had happened.

Again though that's very vague information so it is impossible to say you were justified unless we know the full story. Not judging you btw as I'm no saint but it's just become a cliche on these threads for so many posters to justify why they did it without explaining why.

RahRahRa · 23/09/2021 00:52

cassielassie You sat your brother’s girlfriend was manipulative yet your behaviour sounds the same. Did you split them up? Were there children involved?

LukeEvansWife · 23/09/2021 00:55

I am not trying to justify or excuse it. I did it out of spite. 20 years ago and I don't regret a thing.

But then in my past I slept with several married men so there's a pattern.

Oh and I put cigarette ash into someone's carton of milk at work.

LukeEvansWife · 23/09/2021 00:56

Tbf I can't be arsed to do that shit these days though.

LukeEvansWife · 23/09/2021 00:57

And my post was in answer to the worst thing you have done

Harford · 23/09/2021 01:06

I am not trying to justify or excuse it. I did it out of spite

but you just did that-excused and justified it by saying the friend did x,y, and z. So in your mind, you are trying to justify/excuse it. Again I'm no saint but if I do something I own it and if I do it for revenge I will say what they did 1st.

It's like you are ashamed of it and that's why you are quick to point out they wronged you 1st but like many other posters, you haven't been specific so it's pointless saying the latter. And by not spelling it out it makes it questionable whether how 'wronged' you were in the 1st place.

LukeEvansWife · 23/09/2021 01:09

Seriously I am not justifying it. I had a reason, not a justification. One action lead to another.

Like I said, when I shagged various married men back in the day, there was no reason or justification. I did it for fun.

LukeEvansWife · 23/09/2021 01:12

And I am owning it. It was a cunty thing to do but then I'm not a nice person

Harford · 23/09/2021 01:15

Seriously I am not justifying it. I had a reason, not a justification. One action lead to another

but the reason is your justification. The fact it's 2 decades ago too and you recall this one makes me think you have unresolved guilt over this one. Be honest, was what she did really so bad to warrant your behaviour, especially as it was the father of her kids?

Like I said, when I shagged various married men back in the day, there was no reason or justification. I did it for fun

And that's fair enough, I am not taking the moral high ground- I am very much a sinner myself. But you are being honest here yet the other affair stands out to me because you suddenly did that one for a different reason. Are you sure it wasn't because you just wanted him? And yet the aftertaste was guilt that is lingering because he was too close to home and now you use the 'wronged/revenge ' card to absolve yourself.

Harford · 23/09/2021 01:17

And I am owning it. It was a cunty thing to do but then I'm not a nice person

see i don't agree, doing bad things doesn't necessarily mean you are a bad person. I think you have a conscience and guilt in places and that makes you good.

JackieChiles · 23/09/2021 01:19

When I was seven I weed in a glass and served it to my mom’s boyfriend as apple juice. I fessed up before he tried to drink it but yuck what was I thinking

FortunesFave · 23/09/2021 01:19

@Rosebean92liveson

A work colleague of mine (who I didn’t like very much) had a plastic barbie plate that she was oddly attached to. She would use it all the time. One day she dropped it and it broke and she was very upset. She then found the same plate on eBay and placed a bid for it. I decided to bid against her to drive the price up. This stupid plastic plate went up to £35 before i stopped and let her win the auction. She still talks about the “mystery bidder” who was also so desperate to buy the plate. Yes I am sad and incredibly petty.

That's bloody awful! Whichever poster said "That's brilliant" you're bloody awful too! How is this in any way 'brilliant"?

Honestly, posts like this worry me...innocent people going about their lives have no idea there are mean and unkind people affecting them in these small, awful ways.

Harford · 23/09/2021 01:22

depends on who you did it to, I worked with complete c**ts who I'd love to screw over like this.

LukeEvansWife · 23/09/2021 01:24

Please don't try to psychoanalyse me. It makes you sound like a dick.
