To ask the worst thing you've ever done in anger?

[Dishwater123]

Getting this off my chest and asking what the worst thing you've ever done in the faint hope of feeling better even if I don't deserve it.

When I had just left for uni, many years ago, I was devastated to receive several insulting text messages suggesting my then boyfriend was cheating on me and they also layed into my appearence and personality. I was so very hurt that when I found out who it was I "hacked" (read as guessed) the password of the culprits email, found several VERY explicit sexting emails from not only my boyfriend but a few others...in my (admittedly misplaced) rage, forwarded all of the emails to her family and friends, including her dad and gran. I still feel super awful about it to this day and can see EVERYTHING that was toxic and wrong with it.

What's the worst thing you've done in anger? For the record I KNOW I was unreasonable posting in the hope of hearing about your misguided rage.

Emphasis is conveyed by italics. Capitalising IS SHOUTING.

This is vile. You should be disgusted with yourself.

She deserved it though.

I think you’re most likely right but I didn’t deserve to feel vengeful, spiteful and bad about myself. I felt I was given the opportunity to think twice and rise above it … and I did. My family and my mental health at the time was near being destroyed by a vengeful, angry, bitter exH who for whatever reason she decided to side with … I didn’t need any more of that in my life. It all worked out fine …eventually.

Italics are for emphasis. Uppercase is used for shouting
I was an editor of 4 clinical journals
A publishing director doesn't mean they write

I THINK WE'RE ALL JUST GOING TO HAVE AGREE TO DISAGREE ON THIS ONE.

I'll get me coat...

ok!

Both italics and capitalising can be used as emphasis. Its not either/or.

Both italics and capital letters can be used for emphasis. As can underline. Its not either/or. Capitalisation is quicker and easier.

What knee-jerk, clichéd assumption @WillIEverBeOk - how do you know he didn’t when you weren’t there and that’s a common stereotype of some young and teenaged boys immature flirtation? It’s a form of negging bc they don’t know how to interact with girls they like and want their attention, negative or otherwise. The poster didn’t say specifically what it was as far as I remember (don’t have time or inclination to scroll back) but “Alright short-arse, nice glasses!”☺️ Is very different to “You deserve to be raped you ugly fucking cunt”😡 etc.

I’m not saying the poster should have been bloody flattered or he wasn’t a total twat, Jesus.

Now let me think. How likely was it, that it ever entered into my mother's - who was a married mother of two in her thirties at the time - head, that said teenage snot rag, was actually shielding some sort of infatuation for her beneath his daily barrage of insults? 🤔

Nah. Women deserve to go about their business without harassment from males of any age. Would it were so...

I slapped my nearly adult DD across the face. She returned the compliment so hard i was still hurting 3 days later. We now laugh about it as neither of us can remember what it was about and we're best friends.

God almighty.

DS broke his kicking a rock

Perhaps not the worst, but in one outburst of (righteous) anger, I threw the vacuum cleaner down the stairs, kicked my printer to death (it deserved it!), stomped outside and kicked over the full wheelie bin. I then thought how stupid this all was, because I just had to clean up all the mess.

My cousin had to bring her ex to court for maintenance, he told a massive lie that hurt her hugely so she emailed all his colleagues and informed them of the child he had that he was refusing to support.

This! Fucking well done you! It's always the wimpy little cowards thinking theirs a big man! That moron learnt his place. Wanker! Bloody good for you

You definitely didn’t care for him like he cared for it. Sometimes you have to do what you have to get the pain out. Poor little sucker, haha

👏👏

I did the very same thing to a kid at school when I was about 17, he had been bullying my brother and I heard him saying he was going to "get him" at lunchtime. I charged over lifted him up by his throat and pinned him against the wall and smacked him round the face with my other hand and told him if he wanted to bully someone why not try me? He wad never a problem again.. so yes it is completely feasible she did this its amazing what strength you have in anger

I called round to see my then boyfriend only to find his partially clad ex girlfriend smirking at me from behind the door..think I was 17..
My parents had given him our old fridge freezer and some other furniture at the time.
I went back later with his step brother (who didn’t like his older better looking cheating twatbadger step brother) just after he returned from shopping and filling said fridge/freezer…we emptied it and everything else in the flat we decided he didn’t need…including his bed..

Presumably you say the same to any woman who claims she was raped by her husband before 1991.

Missus messy indeed 🤣

Dont be ridiculous.

I was answering posters who said that what I did was illegal. I was pointing out that at the time it was done, it was not illegal. I didnt say that it was right, but that wasnt illegal at the time.

I answered the OPs question about the worst thing that I did, and that was it.

DBs ex partner was unhinged and vindictive. Months after they split up she sent explicit pictures allegedly of DBs erect penis to the phone numbers she had for DM, myself and our 2 DSis’s only, unfortunately for her, the photos were pretty clearly of someone else (giveaway was 2 chunky rings that were completely wrong style for DB who rarely wore rings; and a shirt that was definitely not his style) Anyway, for whatever reason, I was the only one who was able to open and see the disgusting photos - DM phone was a brick capable only of text and call but not receiving or sending photos; one DSis had deactivated photos as it was a work phone and the other one had changed her number; but the message to me showed who she had sent it to.

Anyway, because of my job at the time, I had no choice but to report it to the police who took statements and I had to hand over my phone to be checked as evidence but also to make sure there hadn’t been any back & forth between us either before or afterwards. Took about 4 months to get my phone back but was able to use a different one in the meantime although it also meant I had to change my number with work and friends etc for that time.

The upshot of it was she was charged with distribution of pornographic material because she had sent it to a number of people and received a police caution as a result. Sadly this wasn’t the first caution she received for her behaviour towards DB after they broke up having already received one for assault against him and our DF.

Now onto the anger part; she was mocking us for going to the police and said she would never stop hurting him for leaving her and would make his life a misery just because she could. So, I anonymously contacted her employer and told them they should look into the conduct of their staff as she had received at least 2 official police cautions over the previous year - she hadn’t told them and, when they found out she was suspended while they investigated it then disciplined and sacked from the job for not disclosing the cautions - she worked in a school nursery and so they definitely needed to know she had received these cautions!!

She never found out who it was reported her and, though she suspected one of the 3 of us DSis’s, it was the wrong sibling; funnily enough she left us all alone after that including DB!!
