How did you torture your siblings?

145 replies

ApocalypseNowt · 14/07/2014 11:27

If, indeed, you did.

I distinctly remember bopping my sister on the head with a recorder one time. I can still hear the 'donk' noise it made.

Then there was the favourite of repeating everything she said in a whiny voice.

My DH's eldest brother used to keep a fart jar then pin down his younger siblings and hold it over their face.

Any other gems any of you would care to admit to.....?

I should add, we were little when she broke my leg. However, up until adulthood, it was a GREAT way to guilt trip her. We were best friends as teens (we'd go off in a huff and moan about people together) and mortal enemies too.

GiantIsopod · 14/07/2014 18:15

I would also sing the womble song to annoy her, and called her Bad Rubbish.

My sister, younger by 2 years, had lovely rosy cheeks - because I had been pinching them.

She had a doll that had long hair which could be wound in to give her a bob. I cut off the pony tail.

I asked her if she wanted to try mustard. Not knowing what it was she said yes. I dabbed it on her tongue.

Being the eldest I was given the honour of sharing a packet of sweets. If there was an uneven number I would say "if I eat this, we will have the same amount each" she agreed, so I ate it.

Used to chase her around the garden with handfuls of nettles screeching "smell my Iceberg Roses".

Our Mother would give us money to go to the local swimming pool. We would pocket the cash and go swimming messing about in the river. One day I found a dead fish that had been used as bait and slung it at her. She had fish guts all over the back of her blouse and she was sobbing "What can I tell Mammy". I just shrugged.

God I was an awful child and I'm sure there are may more incidents.

At this point I should say my sister doesn't bother with me anymore and I haven't seen her for years. In fact we both love each other to bits, never been closer and live less than 2 miles apart.

PipkinsPal · 14/07/2014 18:32

My sister also had a lovely paper fan. I got a pin and poked holes in it.

almapudden · 14/07/2014 18:40

I slammed my brother's head in the car door once. By accident!

BerryNaughtyBoy · 14/07/2014 18:43

I used to tell my sister (we'll call her Beth) the following joke several times a day. She fell for it every time and the rage was unbelievable.

Me:knock knock
Sis: who's there?
Me: Beth.
Sis:Beth who?
Me BETH BUM BUM Hahahaha.

It drove her insane.

Kleptronic · 14/07/2014 18:47

Poured a cup of washing up liquid and convinced my sibling it was a new kind of drink. I got righteously bollocked for that one.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 14/07/2014 18:58

My dsis is 14 years older than me, so staring at future bil and then saying "I dont like you" (I was right'). Then as I was being a flower girl and dsis had planned for my bum length hair to be in ringlets, I insisted I had it cut very short the day before the wedding. (Yes I was a spoilt brat, no idea why dm agreed)

SmartiesMakeMeNaughty · 14/07/2014 19:08

Convinced my little brother that some people have teeth up their arses and that he would have to put his finger up his bum to see if it got bitten. Then told everyone my brother liked to put his finger up his bum.
Ate chocolate then held him down and let a big long chocolatey spit hang over his face.
Crushed up an entire packet of digestive biscuits and put them in his new shoes.
But he did concuss me by twatting me in the head with a tin of TipTop and knock one of my teeth out with a plastic cricket bat. So we were both horrors.

EndoplasmicReticulum · 14/07/2014 19:30

Smarties that teeth up bum thing is the work of an evil genius.

Apologies for the thread title TrinityForce - I didn't think it through

PipkinsPal I can't get 'smell me iceberg roses' out of my head. I shall have to engineer a situation where i can use it.

Agree that teeth up bum prank is indeed genius. I both fear and respect you Smarties

I was by far the youngest one, so I didn't really get to do the tormenting. My brother used to drive me absolutely berserk by pointing at me.

privetandpetunias · 14/07/2014 20:33

I used to hide behind the bannisters as my db was coming up the stairs and jump out on him, he jumped a mile every time and always aimed a punch in my direction. I became a dab hand at jumping out then hitting the deck to avoid the punch. (It was my revenge for all the dreadful things he did to me )

Politelydeclining · 14/07/2014 20:39

I'm off to call my big sis and tell her how much I love her.

She did drive me round the bend occasionally still does but some of you lot are evil

If I did that Politelydeclining she'd think something terrible had happened!

I was the youngest. Three older brothers. Was i treated like a princess No

My brother used to have a nose that bled really easily. Now and again I'd smack it. He would then kneel on my arms and bleed in my face

He would make up songs to annoy me and run over insects on purpose. At the time I loved bugs

I would call him carrot top sing a scottish song that he hated.

He means more to me than anyone now we are adults.

See I do think that most of these are signs of affection. If you didn't care about somebody you wouldn't invest as much time and energy in torturing them, you'd just ignore them. That my theory anyhoo

AdoraBell · 14/07/2014 20:48

I was the torturee rather than the torturer.

MrsRonBurgundy · 14/07/2014 20:54

I pushed my brother down the stairs when I was 6 and he was 4.5. He wasn't hurt luckily but he remembers it very clearly and brings it up often!!!
I distinctly remember the day when I realised he'd caught up with me in height and strength. I was about 14 and I got a serious dead leg from him! I regretted the stairs incident after that

Loomineer · 14/07/2014 20:58

Oh and the time my darling older brothers got me to touch an electric fence after convincing me it was turned off. I was about six and wet myself. They panicked I would tell on them but I never did

One of my bros is in heaven now. Nice to remember the fun stuff

WestEast · 14/07/2014 21:02

I'm 9 years older than my sister and I would do a cracking silent but deadly fart and tell her to "sniff up". She always did it :D

TheCunnyFunt · 14/07/2014 21:04

My older sister used to squeeze my hands really hard when I was a baby (my mum caught her doing this) but recently it has come to light that she used to hit me too

SuperFlyHigh · 14/07/2014 21:04

Hmmm - well it was my younger brother who tortured me, mostly by getting in the way, not playing nicely, being a pain (he was one of those naughty, cheeky boys).

I used to yell at the top of my voice "Muuuuuuummmmmmmm teeeeeellllll insert name" and he would then either be told off, sometimes smacked but mostly yelled at.

I can't think of whether I ripped the head off his Action men but I was a bit nasty and scratched him sometimes.

Now my mother on the other hand - we both tortured her and stepdad by kicking backs of car seats on long journeys - amazing how that endears you to them....

and placing large realistic looking plastic spiders behind washing machine which mother would find and once rang RSPCA/police about one... we would then be out/have forgotten what we'd put there...
