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.

I can relate and my son is also successful now. Who knew it was possible. Teenage males are a very hard to deal with.

I had my ex put in jail for serious sexual assault. I later retracted my statement as I didn't believe it was rape. Don't get me wrong I didn't want it but I didn't say no or insist. I just lay there and cried.

He was remanded after beating me up months later and I handed the police my diary so the charge was added on. They read it in there. It destroyed my kids and my life. I haven't spoken to him in 9 years now.

Left the country. Smashed a larva lamp on my way out, this is despite my partner attempting to restrain me from doing so. I was so furious I needed to smash something, anything. Liquid coloured goo everywhere. My poor partner I suppose I had to clear it up after my departure, and I do mean departure to the airport. Left with only a clutch purse, never went back.

A decade later, I did it again, different partner, different country. I suppose I had improved a tad and managed not to smash anything this time. I seemed to have replaced the wilful destruction with swearing. Funnily enough, I hadn’t sworn even once during the smashing episode. Managed to leave with a large suitcase this time, taxi cost me about £200. Worth every penny. Didn’t go back then either.

A bit of a handful in my 20s and 30s! One things for sure though, I didn’t take no shit.

Mellowed a lot since then, I can barely raise a voice let alone leave the house!
I think now I command more respect and the stuff that was attempted back then no longer is… perhaps they can tell I’m only one displeasure away from destruction!

It is a relief not to have to tolerate PMS anymore, that exacerbated the situation.

Lost it finally after 8 years of DV towards me and fucked up my exH in the courts. I went on a mission. 40 years later he's still a broken man and has never had another relationship.
A good example of fuck around and find out.

I don’t see this or what @Gettingbysomehow outlined as doing a bad thing, in anger or otherwise. I see this in indents as rightfully seeking justice and those awful men deserve everything they got. I think you both deserve congratulations on your bravery, not condemnation.

Fed up of my SIL constantly going on about our garden and how we are lazy not to keep on top of the weeds. It was constant and she even told other people.

We have horse tail weed and at the time I was recovering from a big operation and my DH was literary running himself ragged looking after the kids and me while on his teaching NQT year so the garden got neglected.

SIL does not work as she once married to a very rich bloke and took half of everything when they divorced. She is also the biggest snobby, selfish cow ever.

the last straw was her making a comment about how long it was taking me to recover (had a full hysterectomy) and I needed to sort the garden

when I was feeling better a grabbed some Horse Tail making sure I had some bits with spores on and very discreetly pushed it into the soil in the garden in may different places (spreads like wildfire) . 18 months on she has had to employ a gardener to keep on top of it all. (Massive garden now full of horse Tail). this has distressed her greatly as she is as tight as a ducks backside dispite being loaded)

She lives in a big detached with no other houses near so it won’t spread to other peoples gardens. Have not told DH i did this but he has made a few comments about her having to employ a gardener and how lazy she is being. (As payback) She just goes red and changes the conversation.

also before any posters say I did something illegal is jaspanise knot weed you can be prosecuted for deliberately spreading not horse tail.

i was feeling a little guilty until six months ago her mum (my mil) asked SIL if she could poss borrow money to have a operation privately as it was effecting her quality of life quite badly and she had got to the point where she was in constant pain and practically immobile. SIL refused saying she would have to wait for the NHS. MIL has practically raised Sils 2 kids as she can’t be bothered, they spend 4 out of 7 days with MIL.

We lent MIL the money which is most of our savings but we could not bare to see her in this much pain. SIL then goes mad that MiL is having the operation earlier then planned as she needs the childcare!!!!!

Now I am wondering where I can get some Japanese knot weed. (Kidding)

@redspottyfrog that's pretty identifying. I'd request it's removed

Some sad tales here but also some very awful situations, and I hope you felt some sense of control after your response.

I waved a knife at abusive exH, although, tbh I think I was threatening to plunge in in my self rather than him.

I launched a full lasagne the length of our kitchen when xh complained that he'd rather have pie - obviously there must have been a build up and that was the culmination of it, not something I'm proud of but I am pleased we divorced!

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.

I threatened to swallow my engagement ring during an argument when my partner asked for it back, I said he could dig through my 💩 to find it if he wanted it, I didn't actually swallow it but it was in my mouth and I ended up spitting it out after him threatening to call an ambulance.

We get on better these days 😇

Snogged a bloke in front of my husband. The marriage was toxic, he'd been treating me like shit all day and was pretending to be asleep on a sofa. He was watching but didn't say anything - and never mentioned it later, either. We divorced a few months afterwards.

I actually wish I'd retaliated more in life! The view from the moral high ground ain't that great. The kind of people who fuck you over don't see you as rising above it, they see you as a sucker.

I was given an (relatively) expensive musical instrament by my step father (it was clearly a gift not a loan). His is an old family heirloom and quite a good one. I got rid of my own student version by sending it to be gifted abroad for charity and used the older case from the heirloom which was in worse condition, keeping it in the better (but not original antique) case.

He and my mum split and it wasn't very amicable. Step dad demanded the instrament back so he could give it to his own family. I was annoyed about having to give up my only instrament but couldnt really argue. When i showed it to him he was angry about the case dispite my explaination that it was safer in the newer case. I lied to him that the original heirlom case was still in the loft and i would dig it out a the weekend.

Instead i bought a cheap broken old case on ebay that looked similar, battered it about and ripped the lining, bent the hinges etc and then took my own case back. Cost me £20 but shut him up and have never heard anything else so he never realised that his great grandfathers case is currently being used by a school kid in Kenya and the one he has is a shitty random one that i beat up cos i was pissed off with him going back on his promise.

She sounds batshit crazy!

Put one of the many explicit pics ex H's OW sent to him on a no strings hook up site with her number. Apparently her phone went insane within minutes.

I contacted her in the hope of information as he was lying, lying and lying again and she told me "Get over it, its just for fun, not my fault he wants me not you". So I gave her the fun she wanted.....

Why do you keep SHOUTING in your text?
You didn't cover yourself in glory in any way. Better to turn the other cheek. So much more elegant.
Then get revenge in a far more clever and devastating way when least expected.

I would have sued the dippy cow, anxious or not.
Did she refund your money?

I applaud you ! She deserved it

Fuck my old boots! What the actual? How can people like this ....what?

I flung a bathroom door very hard in anger as my then boyfriend was walking through it after a big argument. It’s was a bit like I wasn’t intending to hit him but at the same time I knew it probably would. It smacked his head and left him bleeding. I immediately felt horrified with myself. His family was all there too.
That was about 15 years ago and I’ve never allowed myself to get that angry since. I never want to hurt another person again.

Agree. It would have been the small claims court for me!

I agreed to go with a co-worker to see a band. I gave her my money and she was going to book online the tickets, except she didn't. She spent it and didn't tell me of the no ticket/no concert situation until the morning of the gig. She never paid me back either.

I put smelly fish through my cheating, controlling ex's letterbox when I knew he was away for a week or so. Sent him an email telling him that I knew he had been cheating on me and to stay away from the area. I got arrested for harassment but, after the police took my phone and saw evidence of his behaviour (including threatening my 80yr old dad with violence), I was released with NFA. I then submitted a report of controlling, coercive behaviour against him, with pages of incidences, but was told that it would be very difficult to prove in court. Said I wanted it documented.
He got Khama when, two years later, his then partner contacted me via FB (she knew my name and it's unusual so I was easy to find) and asked me about our relationship. I told her about his behaviour and she said he had started doing the same to her, eg not letting me be in touch with friends/family, making me sit facing the wall in restaurants so I couldn't look at men, not allowing tradesmen into my house, weighing me weekly, making me only look ahead in the car so I couldn't look at men.....
She kicked him out and also reported him to police. We are still in touch. We both hope no other woman has to deal with him.

I had an abusive ex.

There was a public footpath next to his house that one of the neighbours used to use to walk his dog. He would let his dog shit on the gravel outside exes house and just leave it and this made ex totally livid as he had to shovel it up and dispose of it.

One day he went out and exploded at said neighbour and the neighbour stopped using that route so.....after ex was spectacularly rude and shouting at me over nothing one dark evening to the point my bowels were affected, I went outside and shit on the gravel.

When he saw the heap the following morning that he assumed was dog shit, he went purple.

I went happy.

I don't think this was that bad at all.
