Page 6 | 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.

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.

What did you do?

Tell my child that I hated them and wished they'd never been born.

They were asleep and it wasn't true even when I said it, but I sought help soon after that.

My mammy is the queen of revenge though she did the absolute nuttiest things to my abusive father (think the worst abuse you can) once they got divorced and he threw all her belongings in a skip, years of abuse to all of us and she just snapped

Scratched up all his vinyl records, dvds, etc
Bleach in all the shampoo, shower gel, absolutely everything
Toilet cleaned with toothbrush
All his limited edition pictures up on the walls covered in marker pens
She tried to stab him at one point, entirely justified

In my early 20s I had a massive row with my then partner the day before my birthday. Silly, petty nonsense but we were both very headstrong and wouldn't back down.

He went out to work his evening shift and the arguing continued over text. He called me on his lunch hour at about 10pm and we had another row over the phone, which ended with him hanging up and turning his phone off.

I was absolutely FUMIN, and in a moment of pure, unadulterated, immature rage, I committed the most heinous offence...

...I ripped all the wrapping paper off my birthday presents 😝

This wouldn't have been so bad if they weren't the most thoughtful set of prezzies I'd every received in my life up to that point.

I had to stay up until he got home at 3am and apologies...and he still made me breakfast in bed the next day 😅

Oh to be kids again!

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.

Except he may then have gone and taken it out on the wrong person

I did something vaguely similar OP but without the hacking!

I was tasked with looking after a colleague's emails while he was away on holiday so had access to his inbox. Found the email address of a woman he was seeing.

A few soap opera style facts you should know.

she was married, so was having an affair with my colleague
I was officially single, but was also having an affair with my colleague and I knew about her.

So, yes, she was having an affair but so was he having an affair with me. How very Jeremy Kyle!

I was desperate at the time for my fling to pick me over this other woman so set up a fake email address in her name and sent her an email declaring I knew she was cheating on her husband! She did reply back a couple of times, never denied or admitted it and was more annoyed about the fact that I was hiding behind a fake name.

I have no idea what I thought was going to happen and wondered whether she would ever tell my colleague that she'd received it.

If she did, he definitely didn't suspect me because when he got home from holiday things carried on as normal.

Eventually I saw sense and things drifted with my colleague. She then finally divorced her husband and a couple of years later officially got together with my colleague. They've been together ever since.

This all happened over 20 years ago now and I've never confessed to anyone that I'd ever had a thing with him, nor that I'd emailed her.

I was 20 at the time and had just come out of a horrendous relationship so maturity and sense were not my strong suit at the time!

We occasionally work together now and they both came to my wedding!

OP, you were upset and angry, I don't blame you for reacting to the person who caused that initial feeling! There's always going to be a better way to deal with issues, but yours wasn't that bad. A cruel person might've learnt a lesson!

I was in a group of friends who included someone who was harmless but incredibly insecure and projected her feelings towards everyone else. We were all on eggshells, trying not to upset her or cause her anxiety. We had a trip abroad planned for months, and on the day we were meant to meet at a hotel before getting an early flight the next morning, she told us she'd cancelled our flights (she'd taken it upon herself to do bookings and arrangements) because she was too anxious to go but didn't want to miss out if we went without her. I was livid, drove to her house, and shouted at her until she cried. I was financially struggling and had saved for months, non refundable hundreds of pounds worth of tickets cancelled. And all because she was anxious. All I know is she sought therapy and treatment for her anxiety after, but we haven't spoken since.

To be frank, I think you did her a solid one there. Sometimes people need a kick in the butt to wake the fuck up. She is doing therapy now so you should pat yourself on the back.

Pissed in her shampoo. No regrets 💅

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.

Yes! I’ve always tried to “be the better person” or “rise above it” but I read some of these and wish I was more feisty!

TotHappy · 21/02/2025 11:55

Slapped my then boyfriend in the face. We were having a silly playfight kind of thing, two other friends were there. He started throwing bits of cake at me, I was giggling but also said no, stop, it's getting in my hair. He didn't stop. I said stop or I'll slap you but admittedly was still hyper and giggling while saying it - you know how you get hyper in a playfight? Anyway he did it again and I slapped him and all hell broke loose. Had to absolutely grovel and not really sure he's ever forgiven me. I accept that if it had been the other way round I probably would have felt the same and maybe not taken him back. I accept that violence is not ok. But also still feel that it's not quite as bad as he made it out.

DetectiveSleuth · 21/02/2025 11:58

I’m ashamed to write this but OK. I got so pissed off with my colleague that I spat in her milk and then watched her make tea with it…on multiple occasions. I loathed that woman.

TwinklyFawn · 21/02/2025 12:13

I once got on a train and someone was sat in the seat i had reserved. I yelled at the man to move as he refused to move when i asked nicely.

Ref the Dogs Trust one - I have zero remorse about this.

My neighbour is a real piece of work. Her father bought her the home for her and her two kids because she kept getting evicted from her rentals due to her behaviour. He renovated it before she moved in, and within 2 months she had trashed every surface, every carpet, soaked the whole house by running over the bath for several hours (and claiming it was a water leak), and it's regularly filled with dog and cat piss and poo.

The elder kid was taken by SS 2yrs ago after we had to call 999 because she was battering him in the street. She used to stick him out the back door for hours (aged 7 with cerebral palsy and SEN) when she couldn't cope with him, which I only found out about afterwards from another neighbour who had been making SS reports for months. She apparently signed him over voluntarily in the end. He's not allowed to see her without a chaperone and comes about twice a year with his foster mum.

The younger child is still there - we're all waiting for that poor kid to be the next victim.

Anyway, nutty neighbour has some medical issues and she is regularly in hospital for extended stays. Kid goes to elderly grandparents but the dog stays in the house with a dog walker popping in once a day. That's it. RSPCA don't care as it's "adequate". The house gets saturated between visits and every time she comes home she has to pay for a deep clean of the place before SS and carers come round again...

Then we found out during her last hospital stay that she had now got a new dog which was too nervous to be walked and was stuck in the living room, terrified of the dog walker and had never left the house. A rescued Balkans street dog she was fostering. It took me a couple of days to track down the organisation she got it from and tell them what was happening. Long story short, it took three weeks but the dog was taken off her and she's no longer allowed to foster.

Unfortunately she's now added a new cat into the mix even though one died emaciated (I suspect untreated kidney disease) recently and the other is practically bald (never seen a vet).

I am watching that woman like a hawk. Her elderly dad is absolutely exhausted and I really feel for him - he's given her everything he can and she ruins or wastes it all.

So in anger, I got someone's dog taken away and contributed to their kid being taken into care. No regrets.

Please call Cat's Protection, those poor animals deserve loving homes.

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)

Edited

My god your SIL is in the running for the worst person in the world. She’d give Putin, Trump and Elon a run for their money. I hope none of you speak to her. What a horrible cow.

If you did that today and got caught you would almost certainly get a criminal conviction OP and technically could get a custodial sentence.

Not sure anyone else's stories will make you feel better about yours as it's so serious!

Glad you can see how wrong it was now though. Her poor family getting those emails.

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.....

But this is actually a crime.

Whilst in the throes of pnd I had a full on screaming meltdown in the back garden, in summer so all the windows were open, throwing stuff around, the whole deal. Must have sounded absolutely insane 😅

Oh bless you. A solidarity story. Not done in anger, but my PND manifested in the kind of anxiety that makes you terrified to leave the house. I had not slept for weeks because (hale and hearty) DS would obviously stop breathing if I did. DH gently encouraged me to go for a short drive with him leaving newborn DS with my DM. I was so convinced that a car was going to hit us on a roundabout that I grabbed the steering wheel. Screaming.

The car was being lifted from a ditch when DH called the GP and said “my postpartum wife is completely mad, can you help?” Luckily they could and did. 👍🏻

Burned my sister with a hair straighter because she said she would cut my teddy. I was 6 so I didn’t realise she would be maimed for life. She was 16 as well so she shouldn’t really have been threatening my teddy. We are solid now and she has not threatened any of my belongings since.
In first year uni I hid a bunch of sausages in a hole in the wall and put shrimp in the bottom of the curtains because I was mad at my flatmates. No on was taking the bins out and they were being loud as fuck in the communal spaces. To be honest, it was an unbearable smell and it did fix the issue of the noise. I did try to communicate first, I didn’t go straight to chemical warfare.
When my ex would be really mean to me I used to put garlic in his food because it gave him explosive shits. I used to batch cook burrito for his breakfast to take to work, so I would make one that had garlic in and hide it among the others (they were spicy so he couldn’t taste it I don’t think). Then he would just randomly almost shit himself on the way to work. Honestly, I should have just left him but I was young and also we had a really nice flat with a beautiful garden. At the time I would never have been able to afford that.

One place we used to walk our dogs we had to walk past a house with a gate that always had the gate open and he had a couple of rabid Collies!

Our dogs were on a lead but the Collies would come running out at full pelt, screaming at our dogs. I have big dogs that include a Rottweiler and they are all very calm, very well behaved dogs but of course the worry is that if they had snapped back at the Collies it would be my dogs that would get the blame!

An old git would come out and yell at the dogs often aiming a kick at them. No apology and just a mouthful off him each time.

My sister was furious with him after she thought he called her the c word! It was hard to make out what he said as he would be huffing and puffing.

We were polite and simply asked that he kept his gate closed to keep his dogs in.

We didn't go there that often but once past his house we could access the path to woods and a beach. Other dog walkers complained about him.

My sister turned up for a walk not long after the last encounter with him and suggested we go there again and she was very smiley and happy.

I knew she had something up her sleeve.

We drove our cars to the field and paid the honesty box and then she said, wait here and don't get the dogs out of the car.

She showed me the inside of her rucksack and inside was a huge thick chain and padlock. It weighed a ton but she set off and lurked in a hedge and deduced no one could see her and she pulled the gate to and locked it with the chain and padlock. She saw the dogs but they weren't interested as she didn't have any dogs with her.

She hot footed it back to the field and we set off with the dogs and as usual as we passed by the dogs came running down his drive and were barking and screaming! Only this time they couldn't get out although one was trying like mad to get under the gate!

The chap came out and my sister waves and called out "Thank you for shutting the gate!" and off we went.

When we returned a few hours later the gate was still locked and the dogs nowhere to be seen or the man.

We have been back since then and he had got the lock off but it must have taken ages!

There is only one dog now and it will run down and bark and screaming but it doesn't come over to us.
