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

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.

Shouted at the bride at an ex boyfriend sister wedding as she was really mean to him. (Genuinely mean and cruel, many aunts & uncles commented) ended with me throwing glass of red wine over her.

She's a complete narcissist (him and I still pals & its 30 years later ) she has no one in her life now
But I still hate 19 year old me for sinking to that level and making such a huge scene 🤦🏻‍♀️

My ex husband was having an affair with a woman he worked with. He wasn't even making the effort to hide it. They worked in the care industry. I sent an anonymous letter to the manager of the facility claiming to be an employee who knew about this affair and found their behaviour very unprofessional.

My husband got sacked.

I divorced him.

I feel no guilt!

I think the woman who took a video of her catching her husband and his mistress shagging in his dad's work van and posted it all over the Internet the other day has most of us beat!

I didn’t have a “great” childhood (abusive Dad, alcoholic Mum) then family member died and almost lost a sibling in a very traumatic way.
Anyway… it landed me being homeless at 19 so I rented a room in a stranger’s apartment.
I was spending all my wages on that room and getting to and back from work so I used to eat bread with peanut butter and jam on as my meals.
The girl (late 20s so older than I was) used to go into my room while I was at work and she’d steal some of my stuff, use my hair straighteners etc.
In the end, my boyfriend’s Mum let me move in with them.
I had put down a £120 deposit so asked for it back, the girl said yes of course as long as the room is in the same condition. Of course it was, it was pristine.
I came back from work that day and she had ripped a huge section of wallpaper off the wall in my room. She’d messaged me saying she’s done a room inspection and won’t be giving me my deposit back.

She was supposed to be Maid of Honour to her Mum who was getting married in a few weeks.
I cut that dress up.
Snapped the backs off all her photo frames.
Wiped peanut butter in every single one of her dishes and pots and pans so she’d have to wash them all.
And then I left.
I never heard from her again.

Ooooh, that’s cunning

So many things. I had boiling rage until I was about 30 due to an abusive childhood. So I try to cut young angry people some slack now.
