Confession Box Thread: the worst thing you ever did?

dark crystal · 23-04-2017 10:14pm

My dad is a plumber and used to work for a building company. They were building a new estate and would give my dad the keys to whatever house they were working on at the time.

Well, one day I noticed he had a key to the show home (carrying out final inspections and what not I guess) and I knicked it before I went out one night. After I'd been out on the lash with the boyfriend at the time, we went back to the show house and christened the main bedroom. Also the shower

I put the key back the next morning and the following Monday, I spent all day worrying my dad would get in trouble. He never mentioned anything about it, but left the company soon afterwards and I always wonder did he get in trouble for it. I still feel guilty over the fact I could have lost my dad his job, but I'll never know as I'd never admit it to him...

A friend of a friend was an archaeologist and ground up a bit of human bone and threw it in a full pot of tea in their common room.

Pretty sure not one of the four people who drank it suspected they were actually commiting cannabilism

Not getting any true confessions from me with just a tax dodge OP.

That's way down the list of sins.

Love persepolys post though. I'll have to think overnight which ones I can legally confess to.

it's actually quite a relief to hear someone say "just" a tax dodge!

But you're right. Although I cheated my country out of what was (to me) a significant amount, it's not the very worst.

Well for another thing, I once eagle-eyed my ex girlfriend's iPhone pin and, when she was in the shower, checked her WhatsApps. Again, it's not the worst I've done (probably shouldn't put my worst in writing) but it's one of my least proud moments. Purely insensitive and selfish behaviour. If someone did that to me I'd be livid. Had a go of her Facebook's messages and gmail too.

Of course it all ended when I realised she'd subscribed to her.ie

I shifted my mates girlfriend, without actually doing it....

We were all staying in a house after night club and I was sleeping on couch in sitting room. Total darkness. Girl came in and lay down beside me. I was sure it was aforementioned gf but went along with it. After a few minutes she said something and I clicked who it was. Not the gf after all.

I was best man at their wedding a few years later. At the speeches I said, I've a story for ye... but didn't say a word about this one.

Did think of it though while I was giving the speech.

As previously mentioned I have driven with drink taken and it wasn't a million years ago. I can be a somewhat erratic driver. Penalty points, speeding fines.

Once I was all mixed up and confused so I meddled unnecessarily in a good friends new relationship.

I've threatened someone.

I slapped a random guy in a pub one night because I felt like an idiot.

I've thrown drinks over people.

I've lied.

I've said "I love you" when I haven't really meant it.

I comfort eat and comfort drink.

I spent my twenties on antidepressants.

I smashed a room up.

I know what it's like to truly hate.

I once told an ex after we had broken up that I had a miscarriage. It was a lie.

The worst of all was how difficult I was at times with my mam. I made her cry and that still haunts me

Is that you Marie??? You bitch, you fugged me up with that miscarriage story but I'm over you now. You really were a crazy messed up person. All my friends called you 'psycho-chick'

PS: I hate you.

Years ago when I was about 16 I was in my dad's bedroom looking out the window randomly and across the road at nothing.I seen my neighbour opposite by a few doors walking up his laneway.Their was a cat sitting on top of the pillar with his back to him.

For whatever reason the man took a massive swing at the sleepy cat and whacked him full force with his fist.The cat flew off the wall and whimpered away slowly limping.I was horrified and shocked and upset at what I saw.

This was 96 so everything was phone and mail order.

For about 6 months he got mountains of post and subscriptions for anything to to with fisting and pussy.

Good for you! In my eyes, you're a hero.

I threw a stone at a bird once when i was a kid.

He was up on a branch merrily cheeping away.

I never hit ANYTHING i threw a stone at but i hit this bird and he fell down.

I ran over and he was lying on his back making a funny noise then he died.

I felt absolutely awful at the time and still do,i brought the bird home and buried it in the garden.

I did that too.

A row of them were up there chirping away outside our back garden in 1980.

The 11 year old me thought it would be a great idea to use them as a target practice for stone throwing.

I tried for days. No luck.

One day I hit the Jackpot! The biggest one went down.

Immediately I felt guilty....I went to see the bird I'd downed.

She was still alive but twiching, eyes still alert. I felt sick & awful:(.

I just grabbed a brick & threw it on top of her just to make the situation go away.

It didn't end at that though. The smaller birds were her chicks.

Their confused behaviour in the following days prevented me from going into the back garden for weeks.

37 years later I still wince at the memory.

Not overly bad but my wife always gives me stick over this.

When I was at National School the teacher used to have a wee sweet supply. Just a few boxes of penny sweets in the cupboard. Well she was a lazy cow so she left us to serve ourselves. We would just set 10p on her desk and go get our sweets while she read the paper at lunchtime.

Needless to say I was stinging for a "buy one get 9 free" deal and every day I gave her 10p I was making off with probably a hundred penny sweets.

This went on for probably 3-4 years so at a conservative estimate I'd say I robbed her of about 500 punts worth of sweeties.

I'm a carer for my mother for the last few years and although I love it and would do anything for her, it's also very frustrating at times and we have said some horrible things to each other. Sometimes through utter frustration I can get very impatient with her and I once told her she was a burden to me and how my life has been altered for the worse since she got ill and that made her cry. I wish I could go back in time and take back those words. I hate myself for saying that to her. We have a great relationship and I'd do anything for her and she knows that, but I don't think she'll ever forget me saying that to her.

That's a rough situation. And although you are doing your job from love and a sense of responsibility, why not accept that it's a burden on you? Of course this is a burden.

We all carry baggage for our families, some more than others. You're carrying a lot and it's okay to accept that. It doesn't mean you love your mum any less. Quite the opposite.

I have a lot of respect for what you're doing, you're more than entitled to moments of frustration. Actions speak louder than words.

To me, one of the saddest things about this post, is that you felt it belongs in this thread. I'm not trying to be sycophantic but your job is an admirable and a difficult one and nobody can begrudge you some frustration.

MadamRazz · 24-04-2017 10:07am

I was at a gig in Temple Bar music center years ago. I had been for dinner beforehand with some friends and wasnt feeling the best after it. I was standing at the back of the crowd in the corner and every single woman there, seemed to have dumped her handbag in this corner. Suddenly I needed to bark. The place was pretty crowded and I knew if I tried to get through it I would barf on someone. So I picked up the closest handbag that wasnt mine, puked into it, closed it up and left it back. Text my friends to say I wasnt feeling well and headed home.

HalloweenJack · 24-04-2017 12:11pm

I stole money from my ex, more than once. Never anything more than a single, common note. I also cheated on her a few times.

I stole from people (drinks, money) in pubs for a bit when I was in college, also robbed drunk folks who only needed a bit of help. I didn't think much about it at the time but I'm quite ashamed of it now.

I used to get into random fights, too. Literally just eyeing up some lad I thought I could take and then engineering a fight by bumping into him or something.

I really was a tit when I was in my early twenties.

I did that, sort of. I told my friend's friend that my friend had been cheating with her boyfriend. If that makes any sense. I didn't even know the cheater's girlfriend. It resulted in my friend, who'd been cheating with him, getting a beating. I don't know what I was thinking. I actually wasn't thinking at all, I just did it.

I spilled something on my boyfriend's sister's cream carpet. I didn't know I'd spilled it at the time but realised it must have been my fault when she flew into a rage and had a 'go' at him over it, assuming he'd done it. I kept my mouth shut. I was feeling really dizzy at the time and felt dislocated from being away from home and in the home of what were essentially strangers, and he can handle her through years of experience but when I admitted it to him later you could see in his face I'd gone right down in his estimation.

I used to go to the supermarket and sink my nails into the really fresh mushroons. My nails were at least half a centimetre long. I loved the feel of doing it and sometimes the mushroons would even squeak!
I also used to squeeze fresh salmon. Sometimes you'd get a whole salmon on a polystyrene tray wrapped in clingfilm. I used to pat the salmons and squeeze them but without breaking the clingfilm. It had to be salmon - trout didn't do it for me, and I certainly wouldn't lower myself to squeeze a smoked haddock fillet. I don't eat fish, I hate the stuff.
I'm not ashamed ...

I laughed so hard at you patting and squeezing the salmons.

I was asked by a girl to go to her Debs. I didn't really like this Girl at all but I knew that all my mates were going, so I said yes

Anyway, my mood changed, I was then dreading going as I got it into my head that she very attracted to me.
So one night we were all out in town, I got pi**ed drunk and told her that I didn't want to go to her Debs.
She was very upset.

The worst part of it all though was that I didn't even remember that I has said that to her and acted like nothing had happened the next day.
My mates had to tell me what I said.... Morto!

She's never talked to me after that, and I deserved it cause I was a f***ing prick for doing that!

pilly · 25-04-2017 8:43am

Okay, I thought long and hard about this but I'm gonna come out and say it. I literally **** on my own doorstep!!

I rented a cottage in shall we say an unnamed place for now, suffice it to say it was on a peninsula which was pitch black and GPS couldn't direct you to it.

So I went out one day for a long drive, lovely day but of course it being Ireland, came across no public toilets. Anyway, it got dark so I headed back for the cottage. Got lost and was absolutely dying for a poo and getting very stressed about it.

So in the end I just had to pull the car in and go on the side of the road. When I arose from said poo what did I see only the cottage across the road.

:D:D

Only one other person knows that story, up to now.

I used the term 'half-caste' up to around the age of nineteen.

Genuinely thought it was fine, it was in widespread use where I grew up. Youd think I'd cop that the "caste" bit was dodge.

redfacedbear · 26-04-2017 10:20am

I talked an ex into bed - not because I really wanted to give it another go, like I'd told her, but because I wanted her new relationship to be tainted by cheating right from the start. Which I gleefully told her as she left the next morning.

I justified it at the time because there was some 'overlap' between her finishing with me and starting with him but now I'm morto at the vindictive pettiness of it all.

Me and some friends used to rob cars. At the time we thought we were cool but looking back on it, I would have been 14 to 16 years old, even from when I was 17 I regretted everyone of the times we took a car. I think we would take about 3 a week. Never got caught in one. I'm in my late 30s now and would love to be able to give the younger me a good thumping!

Hellrazer · 26-04-2017 10:44pm

Years ago when i was 15/16 we used to put cavity blocks in paper bags and leave them in the middle of the road.
We could have really hurt someone or worse and like the previous poster I'd love to travel back in time and slap some sense into the younger me.

That was probably the worst.We also used to smear dog **** under car door handles.

Another time just as the pound coin was released we drilled a load of them and hilti nailed them to the ground outside this shopping centre.Sat back and watched hundreds of people trying to get them off the ground.Think one of the lads still has camcorder footage of that somewhere.Was funny at the time as there was probably 20 of them all nailed to the ground.In 1990 twenty pounds was a lot of money.

Oh yeah there was also this bus stop with loads of trees over it that all the old women used to get the bus home from bingo.So anyway some of the lads decided to dress up in monkey costumes,climb the trees and throw bananas at them.That was all well and good until one lunatic decided to take it too far and piss on the oul wans as they were waiting on the buses.the locals all thought there were real monkeys loose in the area.
Trees were cut down a few weeks after that one.

When I was young I went to piano lessons. Hated it. This one particular Saturday as I walking to my lesson I made up an elaborate lie to get out of going. I ran home and told my mother that a man had asked me did I want to go into his house so I ran all the way home. And obviously too traumatised for the lesson ðŸ˜‰

JupiterKid · 26-04-2017 11:03pm

Pinched sweets from a little village shop on the Shannon when I was about 12/13 on a dare.

Cheated on an ex once but it was after I found out he was cheating on me! We broke up pretty soon afterwards as there was just no trust left.

Lied for years and years to family and friends over my drinking. I was the last to see that I had a serious problem. The amount of bare faced lies I would make up was astounding. Got to the point where I pinched some money off a sibling in order to get booze. Not my finest moment.:(

Drank drove a few times. Very ashamed about that. Didn't get caught but could have killed somebody.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Used the loo when I was 9 in a (then) mate's house and there was (shock, horror!!) no toilet paper to wipe my arse with. So I used a hand towel and tried to fold it back to hide the stains.:eek: Never heard from that mate again!:o

but the worst thing I ever done: I mixed up all this fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. And I never felt so bad in my entire life!
