When my younger cousin who I'm very close to was getting married I was supposed to be a groomsmen but, my unit was deploying so my.cousin had the wedding planned so that I could take leave and go before deploying. My grandmother (who Is a not very nice person) was moving to Germany from the US so she convinced my cousin to change her wedding date to a date I couldn't take leave on so that she could be part of the wedding before she moved. When I complained my grandma told me " when you decide to leave home you miss important events"

Flash forward 5 years to when I was getting married. My grandma was back from Germany for 6 months. Me and my wife originally had our wedding planned for a date 2 weeks before grandma left then I realized that I had to get back at her. So we rescheduled for 2 days after she left. When she complained I told her " when you decide to leave home you miss important events"

I'd call it ironic that she said that after getting the date changed so she could leave home, but she knew exactly what she was doing and wanted to rub it in your face. So good call on your revenge.

OP edited the title and added "bad".

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

be word "bad" wasn't in the title when I responded, which prompted the joke

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The cashier is clearly in love with you!

I quit my minimum wage job by saying to my boss, 'I don't work here anymore. You're a cunt.'

Felt so fucking righteous.

I told my mother she was a terrible person because she said she was going to eat at a restaurant because I told her the owners were transphobes.

She got angry, we haven't really talked since. I'm not sorry.

The last thing I said to my biological father 3 years ago was "Go fuck yourself"

What Happened? Did you have an argument?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Did you have an argument

That is a very good guess.

I wished someone to choke to death on my cookies he had stolen. He was a asshole...

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You should've observed you cookie jar more closely.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sounds like a 'human' to me. What kind of neanderthal licks cookies and puts them back. Who do they think they are, Ariana Grande?

Told a boomer family member that pretty much everybody 40 or younger is just waiting for them to die off.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Too many to count. But perhaps the biggest one was to say, in loud voice "pretend that I died, please" once my ex-girlfriend dialled me. She started screaming at the phone and I promptly hung it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Too many to count.

I feel like that may be worth some concern.

I feel like that may be worth some concern.

I don't think that I'm notoriously bad, in comparison with other people; just a bit more self-conscious, and not too eager to bullshit my own actions.

And in that specific situation, I felt that it was completely justified to be an arsehole towards her, as she has been consistently dialling me with the same sort of gaslighting that made me break up with her - that's why I don't regret it.

Alright, it's just that the rest of us rarely find reason to be mean to someone and not feel bad about it. So if you do it all the time, you might be a bit of an asshole.

I once told a person undergoing multiple rounds of fertility doctors trying to have a baby that it's for the best they're barren because they'd be a terrible parent... After they went on a massively homophobic and transphobic rant out of the blue one day. I lost a friend group, but I stand by it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

If I didn't regret it, then I wouldn't call it bad.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You know, I have a lot of hard truths waiting in my head for certain people, but they're actually pretty good at avoiding topics on which they are vulnerable in real life. I wonder if they're doing it on purpose, and if so why they still need to be reminded.

One time when I was 11 we were given a tour of our city's zoo by two ladies, who were retired zookeepers. They showed us around the zoo's museum, and told us that the tiger pelt hanging on the wall belonged to their favourite animal, who they'd both looked after.

I put up my hand and asked why they'd skinned it and nailed it to a wall if they loved it so much. They both got really fucking mad, but I stand by what I said.

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

It's not bad per se. But, I said to my ex gf that she will never accomplish anything in life and she will be a miserable person all her life.

I don't regret a single word. I was right and I'm still right.
