What is the meanest thing you've ever done?

HUH? wierd thread!!

Time to confess guys…

I didn’t know there were any priests here in the coffee room…

hacked a youtube partner’s email account, gave away his contact list, stole his forum and userbase and i may have caused a bit of a mental breakdown 😀

oh…and discredited him to many of his former fans

I used to constantly call a classmate a horse, and make horse refrences

I was mad at my sister who was in her room with her door closed.

I went to the door and opened it up a bit and sprayed half a can of roach spray.

When a really popular guy rejected a girl I was friends with in a really public way (it shamed her publicly), and I did not stand up for her. I was a coward. I saw her suffer and my not standing up for her hurt her more.

i am really sorry to admit this publicly but when I was a kid, I hit my little sister with my violin bow. I lost my temper.

Then one other time, she was taking a nap on the couch, and I thought it would be sort of funny, if…I went up to her ear and blew my trumpet real loud. She didnt think so.

Another mean thing we did as kids was call people up (before caller id was invented) and pretend we were some little kid they had in their life. Like when they asked who it was, I’d say “Guess” as if i was just being heimishe with them. So they’d say a name and I would say “yep”. THen they’d ask me how the wedding was, and what mommy was doing. And I’d answer all weird, not normal answers. and we’d tape record it and laugh for days listening back at it. We were like 11 or 12 years old.

I pretended I knew nothing about it, and he was never sure I did it.

This one trumps all of you: One time while in a major discount store, I put a feminine hygiene product is a man’s (he was at least 70 years old) shopping cart. Imagine HIS surprise when he went to pay!!!! Of course I was with friends and it was a dare…needless to say that was the last dare they ever dared me!!!! We couldn’t stop laughing for days….Poor man!!!

When I was in yeshiva in Eretz yisroel one very late night[or very early in the morning] my roomates and myself took a phonebook and called the phone numbers of Arab names and asked if john was there-the ones who were not too disorientated to talk were not that pleased.

When I was about 11, I thought it funny to pull chairs away from guys right before they sat down. Usually it was fun and no harm came of it. But once I did it on s/1 with a bad back and he took quite a tumble. Felt bad that very minute. 🙁

My brother and I used to go around shul and tie men’s talleisim together or to their chair! THAT was hilarious!!

When we were about 12, my bunk raided our counselor’s stuff in the middle of the night, and then went out and set up the camp shul in the basketball court, benches and all. Too bad it was raining the next morning:(

aaahhhhh, memories….

NYBD,

I saw that girl only once or twice afterwards. B’H she’s happily married. I think she saw me differently after that event. Too bad. She wasn’t wrong. She was too nice to say anything, though.

I’ve done some pretty mean things on dates. Once a guy I was so not interested in asked to go out with me. I painfully agreed, and then stood him up after we made plans to meet at a particular place. I think he waited for a really long time. Yikes. I think I stood one other person up as well, who I also wasn’t interested in. It was so out of character for me.

The meanest thing I ever did, that wasn’t known about, was get mad at my sister when she was sick with cancer. I came home from a date and found her sitting in our kitchen with one of those tight chassidishe snoods (she had lost her hair). We are not chassidishe, nor, do I recall, was she married yet, at the time. I was mortified for my date

to see her and do a double take, and I was very angry at her for being downstairs. Thank G-d I never told her.

It was mean, though, even though she probably didn’t know how I felt.

When I was in grad school, our professor was very late. All the students decided after the designated amount of time that students were required to wait that they would simply leave. I knew that if I were to stay, that the school would look at their absences differently. So I left with them. I later heard that he arrived late and was very upset. This is a professor who had come to my defense when my internship supervisor was harassing me, and told her I was one of the best students in the class. Yeah, right.

How would you like me to respond to that? Clearly, I too don’t feel very good about it if I mentioned it was the meanest thing that went unknown. I’m not sure why you’re telling me it makes you sick. To make me feel guilty? I already do.

Maybe the meanest thing you’ve ever done was tell someone who lost a sibling that something they did (that they feel bad about) makes you sick.

my mother used to say i had to eat my fish, and i really did not like fish. so i took the pieces she gave me and wrapped it up in a tissue and threw it out! 🙁 and then told my mother i ate it..

It’s almost Yom Kippur .. but i could say a mean thing that I’ve done that my victim has (thankfully) forgiven me for- it was recess in 7th grade, and my friend kept on provoking me . I have no idea why, just that i felt so annoyed at her that I poured the remainder of my bag of chips into her curly hair.

Just heard this, didn’t try it.

If you’re bored, put a note saying “sorry for the damage” on someones car. Wait till they come back, and have some fun watching their reaction.

Running with scissors fast: “Another mean thing we did as kids was call people up (before caller id was invented) and pretend we were some little kid they had in their life.

LOL!!!! LOL!!!! It would be awesome if you could record it onto Yeshiva world news Radio!!!! 🙂

Mommamia, I think you should stop beating yourself up about what you thought about your sister. you are human and you had a human reaction. It would have been mean if you had actually voiced it, which you did not. Most people have some reactions that are a little selfish to many situations. It’s fine as long as your seichel overcomes your initial reaction and the other person does not ever know what you initially felt. I actually give you credit for being Ma’avir al midosov (hard to spell in english) and not saying anything. It’s not easy for the siblings when one is sick.

This story of mean I am about to tell bothers me very much and I am still haunted by it. I deeply regret my actions.

Once I was friends with a woman who really needed my friendship in every way. She was bound for life handicapped in a wheel chair by Cerebral Palsy. Her speech was impaired, her daily living and her mobility.

Anyways, one day I ran into her downtown as I was hurrying to get somewhere, and she told me that she was looking for someone to help her eat her lunch. She had had her homecare givers prepare her a lunch and gone out to a convention of some kind, hoping a friendly spirit would offer. She wasn’t able to even feed herself a sandwich. Every bite would require an assitant to literally put it up to her mouth.

I said “oh thats nice. Good luck”. and ran on my way.

What a stupid person I was. I missed out on an opportunity to do good for another person who really needed help. I am ashamed.

commonsense, +1

Alan,

I’m sorry I was hurtful with my words. It was uncalled for.
