Mine’s taking a day of annual leave from work. Getting on the train and doing my normal commute to work in the city. But then checking into a hotel, getting in my pjs, watch telly all day, order room service and sleep. Then get dressed at the end of the day and do my commute home. No one would know. 🤣 What’s yours?

tell my ex sister in law that she is a disgusting person, a terrible mother and an abusive piece of shit, who ought to have her kids removed and be deported back to the shitty country she came from so that she could stop fucking up my brothers lives, and her kids lives, with her abusive, narcissistic bullshit.

@Sparklingbrook do it!
I used to work in a care home with a lovely lady who's son had an awful time with the Nun head teacher all through primary school. He was constantly picked on and told he wouldn't amount to anything but like your son he did extremely well, masters etc. The nun retired from the school and was our boss in the care home and was fully aware of how well this lad did. It was good when he was in the local paper for some really great achievement and his mum ever so nicely showed our boss while saying to everyone there that how funny it was that he had always been classed as stupid whilst at primary school.

Shaving my hair off and starting again. I'm so tempted but I don't think I'd even suit short hair.

My head teacher at primary school also wrote me off as being thick and that I wouldn't amount to much. I want to take him my phd certificate but he's currently in custody waiting on a charge of child sex abuse so my vindication will have to wait

Just disappear with my dog and leaving my family to it. I doubt they’ll miss me.

Be completely self sufficient and live off grid on a smallholding.

@DropYourSword but would this be as Khal Drogo, Aquaman or himself? Define your terms.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 25/02/2022 13:02

I’d like to kill my exh but I won’t! Or at the very least rip him a new one verbally whilst he has to sit and listen.

To open a tiny pub-post office in one. Pick up a letter, have an ale.

courgettigreensadwater · 25/02/2022 13:11

Yep @Sparklingbrook I definitely would.

Earn money from crafting things and have two dogs and a decent pair of walking boots.

Do a full on Eat Pray Love solo trip to somewhere beautiful, hot and tropical, then eventually opening my own yoga studio there and live near the beach

I simply want to egg the car of the man who cut me up in traffic this week. He doesn't know I know where he lives. I drive past his car regularly. I would just need to lean out a bit as I drive past Grin

Winning the lotto, buying the houses either side of my ex husband and letting them out very cheaply to the loudest most obnoxious awful people I can find.

You and I are very different people op 🤣

You are my kinda person Grin

1 - Living in a small cottage in the countryside where I grew up, just me with a dog, with books, a fireplace, cups of teas and a bit of a veggie patch.

2 - Tearing a new arsehole in the people that knowingly left me alone as a child with a man that abused kids and then when he abused me swept it under the rug.

The mental health impact of item two has left me with life long mental health issues, C-PTSD and often long stretches out of work meaning I won't be able to afford item number 1.

MargaretThursday · 25/02/2022 14:27

Lots of these sound great.

I'd like a week away by myself. Preferably near a nice warm beach, and lots of money to spend on whatever I like. While I'm dreaming I'd like to be a bit thinner too without having to diet Grin

I'd like to be a published author. Love writing. I can write a reasonable first draft, but no good at editing. I lose interest then, so I'd probably hate getting a book to publishable level really.

I'd also like to be able to turn invisible and go and revenge wrongs done to me. Maybe just walking behind them and whispering in their ear or hiding one of their shoes when they're in a hurry to leave. Yep. Petty.

And I'd like to have the house tidy. A house in the state where I wander round for half an hour on Mondays and put a few things away and run the hoover round and it's beautiful.
To get there requires so much work, and many things to be thrown out. And no one in the house to mess it up including me Grin

CulturePigeon · 25/02/2022 14:27

Putting polonium in Putin's tea. But I think I would actually do this if I got the chance.

I'd claim I'd only been visiting Moscow to look at the famous cathedral of St Basil.

VerandaSanta · 25/02/2022 14:28

Shag the person I really want to!

But I never would.

Its just nice to imagine.

I want to go into my brother's house and rearrange their furniture, with a new rug Grin

@Sparklingbrook

I'd quite like to send DS's primary school teacher who was awful to him for 2 years (and completely knocked his confidence taking a very long time to recover from) a picture of him in his cap and gown holding his Masters certificate.
This I can totally relate, on a slightly different level. A few years ago my DM was in hospital literally fading away, ( she had lost half her body weight) we decided that we would bring her home to die with dignity surrounded by those she loved. We had a fight like you would not believe, in the end SS woman threw up her hands and said 'right, take her home, but you will end up killing her' we believed different but brought her home. 7 months later I sent a photo to the SS women of my mum enjoying a pub lunch. We had my mum for another 4 years before we lost her, 4 years we absolutely certainly wouldn't have had had we not sprung her from hospital.

Send the photo to the teacher and tell her why, some people need to have their 'God complex' challenged. What have you got to lose?

Reply ‘Punch them in the face’ to a LOT of the ‘WWYD?’ questions in AIBU. I don’t because it’s ‘not in the spirit’, but you’d be surprised how often I’m thinking it Grin
