What is the worst thing you've ever done?

Thought my first question might as well involve asking perfect strangers to reveal thier worst immoral acts- kinda depending on the anonymity of the internet here...

so what's the worst thing you've ever done? (according to your own moral system- fucking puritanical normative societal mores don't count...)

in my enigmatic quest i won't be telling myself until a proper number of y'all have confessed...

some thoughts on this topic here (perhaps more specific than your question)

What is the worst thing you have ever done to another living soul?

donna's answer on that thread stops me cold.

egotistically speaking I'd say it was to betray one of my dear friend at the first occasion i had, out of pure weakness.
I think my friend heard me...
the friendship died just there i think.
it's one of my biggest regret and i'll never have the occasion to say i'm sorry in a meaningful way: it's too late.

I had difficulty controlling my anger when I was in my late teens and early twenties, and although I never hurt anyone because of it or even came close, I threw a metal spatula once, hard enough for it to get stuck in the wall, and threw a computer another time (it didn't stick in the wall). Both times, although I was lashing out at things so that I wouldn't lash out at people, the people nearby naturally felt threatened, which is what makes it worst.

Well, and there was another thing where I contemplated cheating on someone and somehow completely forgot all about it until years later when something reminded me of the person I'd almost cheated with. I'm not sure where to rate that. The forgetting seems the worst part.

I don't know what the worst thing is. I feel bad about throwing a book (paperback) at my 6th grade teacher and calling her a "stupid bitch." But she deserved that, really; she made fun of me being squeamish about sex.

I dunno, man.. I haven't lived enough to do really terrible things, and I don't have much courage either.

Probably screaming the house down at my mum when I was about five years old. If not that, I did bully this girl once when I was about 12, which was very cruel of me. Regretable, not only due to the fact that it was really unreasonable and unjustifiable, but also because she could probably kick the shit out of me now idf she really wanted to since she's a lot bigger than me now. The thing is, she somehow really likes me and I don't know why. I don't know if she forgets what I did to her. I think she really liked me even during the short time I bullied her. Strange. I can't think of anything else at the moment. I'm sure there will be more.

a few years ago (still living at home) my sister would steal my clothes so I took her favorite pair of jeans and got them hemmed by about five inches, then put them back in her drawer. the sweet sound of her temper tantrum.

prolly when I torched that car.

aside from cj (posted on the previous linked thread) you are all too nice. i was going to tell mine, but i've changed my mind. i need at least 2 more posts like cj's before i even consider.

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 03:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe this'll help, dyson. This really is my worst thing, I think, and I'm not sure I can convey the true shittiness of it. I had a friend I'll call C. that I grew up with, knew her since I was 3, lived on the same street, her mom and mine were best friends, we were best friends, etc. As we got older she became a bit overweight and was sort of homely and painfully shy around others, but she and I still had fun together ... but I was more outgoing, blah blah, and started to feel embarrassed about C. Well my freshman year I'm talking to some girls and they're making fun of C. behind her back and I tell them something incredibly personal about C. just to get a laugh. (It involved how she discovered masturbation although she didn't know that was what it was and had told me about it in all childhood innocence.) Well these girls spread it all over the school and C. never lived it down and was teased mercifully for it, and of course she knew I was the one who betrayed her. And there was no way to effectively apologize or make it up to her though I tried desperately. Like I said, I don't know how to convey the awfulness of this, but every time I think of it I want to kill myself. So, that's my worst thing.

busted.

― gbx (skowly), Saturday, 14 October 2006 04:06 (nineteen years ago)

i have said some really horrible things to relatives. i could be very mean to my mom when i was younger. i still get upset with her, but usually it comes out as frustration and not anger.

i've talked about friends behind their backs.

maybe i've blocked other things out, but all the other things seem like basically victimless "crimes" that i feel guilty about because i am anxiety-prone.

one of the worst things i've done i discussed on another thread here.

when you tried to digitize a vhs tape?

It depends on what's wrong!

no, when i was searching for a dvd burner.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Saturday, 14 October 2006 05:16 (nineteen years ago)

i guess i have allowed people to be interested in me when i had no interest in them. that's pretty bad. probably most of us have done this to some extent, though.

I agreed to go to a hs school prom with this girl, l but I cancelled two days before because my friends thought she was ugly. She was crushed.

also, listened to too much sports talk radio, but never again!

― nicky lo-fi (nicky lo-fi), Saturday, 14 October 2006 07:19 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah.
I dumped a girl because I wanted to be stupid an reckless, and she could tell it was stupid and reckless.

Best part: I knew it was stupid and reckless.

was that real life or in The Sims?

― ▒█▄█ ▄▄▄ ▒█▄█ , Tuesday, 17 October 2006 00:15 (nineteen years ago)

worst thing: i have been consistently irritable, snappish, and impatient with my younger brother for years, and am still having trouble avoiding that reflex a lot of the time. it is very unfair to him and i wish it were easier to stop. i think that's probably the worst thing just because it's still ongoing even though i know it's awful! why can't i stop it?

Between October 1975 and November 1980 I attacked and killed some thirteen women.

Real life. 3 years ago.

i hope all your posts are on tombstones for a while at least

srsly (though it'll get unfunny one day. you'll know.)

― rrrobyn, the situation (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 01:46 (nineteen years ago)

I, uh, 'embezzled' quite a bit of money from a restaurant I worked at. Whenever a manager would forget his or her card and had to type in a code to make comps and voids and such, I'd look over their shoulder, copy down the code and then void of $50-100 of my sales at the end of the night with no paper trail. I have never felt bad about it, but it's generally not socially acceptable.

As to things I've felt bad about, nothing major, just occasionally being obstinate and treating people badly. A bad tendency to flake on friends and disappear.

― milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 01:47 (nineteen years ago)

that's smart, not bad

― a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 01:52 (nineteen years ago)

I still feel like shit about the fact a close friend and (at the time) flatmate of mine got into all kinds of trouble because I publically (ie, on livejournal) mentioned being annoyed hearing him shagging that morning in his room.

Which, it turned out, wasn't with the girl he'd been seriously seeing and had said "I'll never cheat on you again" to not days before this. Well how was I the hell to know?

In my petulance, I refused to apologise, bitched about him online, and then when he moved out once we realised we'd both ruined our friendship, I continued to bitch about how he was a slob and owed me tons of money.

I regret all of that immensely and it has taken years for us to be friends again :(

Also, when I was about 12 I called my brother retarded, while he was going thru dyslexia problems. He was understandably pissed off and proceeded to hit me with a broom.

The worst thing I ever did was find ILX.

― GOD PUNCH TO HAWKWIND (yournullfame), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

This isn't my worst thing (you people are still way too pure for your own good), but I'll share a good one.

My first serious g/f decided she was going to cheat on me. Numerous times - but I liked her and decided I'd turn a blind eye and play ignorant. I dealt with it by cheating on her every single chance I got. One new years I had a 3-some while she was in Korea (cheating on me no doubt). After 4 years I got sick of this stupidity and dumped her ass. We stayed friends and after a while i asked her about the cheating. She wasn't really being as honest as I'd hoped so I told her I knew about a lot of what she was up to and that i'd done it too. When I told her about the threesome (one of the girls she sorta knew) she started crying. I laughed. Oh boy did I laugh.

It was sorta mean but she did quickly realize the hypocrisy of getting upset about it and then started fessing up with the honesty.

Oh and when I dumped her, it was over the phone and thank god for that because I couldn't hold back the laughing for that either!

And Trayce - you know I'm dyslexic, right? You're daed to me now.
