Not kill them or do serious harm but if you had the chance to do voodoo and get back at those who wronged toy would you do it and you get to watch them in a crystal ball in pain?

I know it sounds cruel but I would, I've being wronged so many times by bullies and it would delight me to get revenge.

I have come across a fair few Arseholes in my life,
(Narcissistic Users /abusers ect )

I think best revenge is either going zero no contact(acting as if they are dead/no longer exist, or only low contact as possible with boundaries in place,

Hence either way, you piss these toxic types royally off, that is the bonus and more peace of mind for yourself

Also living your best life to your potential,

Which obviously if someone is toxic and wants to emotionally drag you in the depths of despair into emotional gutter ,to make themselves feel better,

Living to whatever is your best potential in any way in life.

Will really piss off big time , That Arsehole or bunch of Arseholes in your life,who have really hurt you in someway or hurt your member of your family.

MistyGreenAndBlue · 05/01/2023 01:21

No. Either kill them or let it go. 🤣

I used to feel vindictive and want revenge when I was younger but these days I don't care anymore. Maybe I've mellowed.

Mind you, all my enemies are dead so that might be a factor. 🤷‍♀️

I am finding this Op Thread, weirdly Cartharic therapeutic

Describing people in past who have been really nasty to me, when I haven't done anything to deserve,

You know calling them Arseholes

I don't care what people think of me feeling this way at all.

I couldn't give a shit whether anybody thinks I am weird in any way to feel/think way I do.

I do believe that in karma and hope it bites them in the Arse in some way L.o.l 😀

watcherintherye · 05/01/2023 01:33

Well, this thread is rather disturbing!

MiniTheMinx · 05/01/2023 01:35

I can only think of one person who would deserve this, but no I'd prefer an apology from them. Won't get one.

My father met a native doctor or witch doctor in Africa. His drivers wife had been cursed and my father met with the native doctor to try and find a cure. She was dying in hospital and none of the doctors could explain what was wrong with her. She recovered much to the doctor's amazement. Odd little story. I wouldn't ever mess with this sort of thing. We had two voodoo masks in our house when I was growing up, totally freaky and scared me.

I might give my manager a very mild, non-serious injury that would keep her off work for a couple of weeks. It's so nice and peaceful when she is away...

A fantasty image would be all Arseholes toxic people of the 🌎 earth

To see them stumble along in quick sand or into a very boggy swamp Marsh, infested with piranha hungry fish 🐟 or Crodilles circling around like vultures going in for kill prey...

Goodread1 · 05/01/2023 01:44

Even better still to see Arseholes of the earth 🌎 to have the misfortune to come across A great white man eating shark ....😀L.o.l

Homecomin · 05/01/2023 01:44

to be honest, I enjoy it when a tailgater flies past you only to get stuck at the same red light. That brings me joy.

Hurting someone absolutely not. It goes against every fibre of my being and I say that as someone who was abused as a child and raped as an adult and bullied on/off throughout life

Goodread1 · 05/01/2023 01:51

I think I wouldn't mind People who have hurt me to experience twinges of braxton labour type pains
But with no pain relief,

Or
Kind of pain of pain experience when having the birth control coil inserted L.o.l 😀

MrsAvocet · 05/01/2023 02:02

No. I have been very bitter and angry about some things certain people have done to me over the years, and I used to fantasise a lot about getting revenge. Now, whilst I cannot honestly say I have fully forgiven, and I certainly haven't forgotten, i have realised that holding on to that rage harms me, not them. Giving them that amount of headspace means they still have power in my life so I have largely learned to let it go. I'm no saint, and I still have the odd "relapse" but I don't think I would harm them if the situation presented itself now. I probably wouldn't help them if I saw them in some kind of trouble, though I guess that might depend on the exact circumstances, but I don't think I would go out of my way to cause them harm.

No it's morally wrong

AliceAbsolum · 05/01/2023 02:04

No it's morally wrong

Only against your morals. That’s the thing about morals, they’re personal. Everybody has different ones.

SweetSenorita · 05/01/2023 02:21

No. Absolutely not. I'm not in the business of hurting anyone 😳

Dalekjastninerels · 05/01/2023 02:23

I would to the Yellow Cardigan Nurse (as I remember her ) who saw fit to smack a scared and in pain three year old (me) for no reason.

My parents complained; so I hope you were fired.

I am 52 and still wish you a slow painful death.

merrymelodies · 05/01/2023 02:26

No, of course not.

ChungusBoi · 05/01/2023 02:32

No, but I’d love to place angry red ants in the pants of every minister in the current cabinet, and tie their hands behind their heads so they can’t scratch their arses 😂😂😂

Goodread1 · 05/01/2023 02:41

@ChungusBoi. 😂L.o.l.

Giggorata · 05/01/2023 02:48

I might give them a really big spot on their nose for a brief period of time.

If they are really horrible, I would sprinkle some sugar on them, to sweeten their hearts.

Flannan · 05/01/2023 02:49

DomesticShortHair Grin

To answer the OP... no, of course not.

I'd rather just change the government.

kateandme · 05/01/2023 03:11

If your harming someone aren't you doing what they've done.thry might deserve all the shit life can throw at them.but for you to cause grimpain and suffering your doing what they do?

Goodread1 · 05/01/2023 07:36

StrongTea · 05/01/2023 07:43

Yes, there are a few folk I would be quite happy to “zap” nothing too painful.
