Buckle up, dear reader, for we are about to embark on a journey into the darkest corners of the human psyche. The post that has captured our attention like a moth to a flame poses the tantalizing question: “What screams ‘I’m a terrible person’?” As we traverse this twisted terrain, prepare to be regaled with tales of dastardly deeds, shameful acts, and cringe-worthy confessions, all thanks to the Internet’s most brutally honest commentators.
Social Media
“Making your children upset to record it and post it for internet points.” “Oh yeah. There’s a home video of me at about 5 running away, crying, begging to be left alone, trying to hide from the camera, and saying I want to die while my mother follows me laughing. It’s been 28 years, and she still laughs at that video. It just makes me feel sick. And she has no clue why I am in minimal contact with her.”
Bad Habit
“Being a habitual litterer.” “Ha, that’s really funny bc one time years back, I was sitting in traffic, and someone tossed their trash out the window. This woman got out of her car, yelled at the people, then picked up their stuff and tossed it right back into their car. Half empty soda and all. Respect.”
Accept It
“Not accepting mistakes as mistakes. Just say I messed up.” “Okay, sure: You messed up.” “We can still be friends, though.”
Bad to Animals
“Abusing animals.” “I work with a shelter, and the horrific things humans can do to dogs and cats is just unbelievable.” “Then you witness it IRL and realize the profound ignorance behind a lot of it. I stumbled into a puppy mill last month out of the blue. A friend of mine half-knew someone who wanted to hire me for a project. The guy was really nice but had a whole bunch of Pitt bulls in a really confined space to the point where I felt a need to report it. Several were extremely inbred, and several were extremely aggressive. The ones that were docile and friendly were inbred to the point of hardly being functional. Wall-to-wall crates, and this place was in the basement of an office area. No fields to run around in, places to walk, etc. He told me he breeds dogs, and the whole setup was not normal for dog breeding. It didn’t even “hit me” until I was in the car on my way home. Then it was like a freight train collision of logic: “Oh, that was most definitely an extreme case of animal abuse.”
Trying to Cope
“When the default coping mechanism is to manipulate or abuse other people.” “Had a friend that did this. I couldn’t cut ties because I was afraid or just too attached. He left the country, and talking reached the bare minimum, and then he asked me why I hated him. Spilled years of anger and hate in that chat. All he could see was that I was the bad friend for pretending to like him. This boy almost made me end it. Thank God it’s all over.”
Customer Service
“People who treat servers, Uber drivers, convenience store clerks, ect. Disrespectfully. Character is how you treat the people that you’ll never see again.” “If only the rude people who scream at minimum wage workers could understand that they’re already at the bottom of the social ladder.”
Screaming Scene
“Making a huge screaming scene in a restaurant.” “I stopped going out with a friend because of the man-tantrums he would have in public.” “Once, the grown adult woman I was sleeping with told me how that upcoming Christmas, her parents were getting her the Lego Deathstar, which is fair enough. They didn’t want to, but after they threw a tantrum, including rolling around on the floor in the Lego store, their parents gave in and agreed to get it.”
Not Me
“Minimizing other people’s experiences or pain because it doesn’t match with your experiences.” “Related: Telling people with (chronic) pain that they just have to change their mindset.”
Service Staff
“Rudeness to wait/service staff. People often look down on people performing service jobs and treat them like some sort of underlying, justifiable for receiving any sort of behavior. Totally unnecessary or acceptable unless the said staff initiated the rudeness, and even then, I was taught not to descend to “their level of rudeness.”
Out Loud
“Refusing to wear headphones.” “Public speaker phone conversations.” “Yeah. Walking around Wal-Mart blaring music shopping. How does this seem acceptable? It’s as bad as pooping your pants and walking around. Although it seems I should expect that sort of stupid crap at Wal-Mart.”
Bad Karma
“Stealing money meant for charities.” “There was an older guy that frequented the bar I used to work at. I went out to dinner with a coworker one night, and my coworker excused himself. He and the old man get into an argument and a coworker slaps the old man across the face. We quickly left (the bill had already been paid), and I asked what it was. Well, the old man apparently was in charge of sending all the donations the bar received from a recent party benefiting children’s cancer, and the old man stole the money and continued going from bar to bar drinking.(The bar owner and numerous other coworkers confirmed this) This jerk stole children’s cancer donations to run around Downtown West Palm Beach, Florida, getting wasted. SMH.”
Doesn’t Stop
“Me, after the first sleeve of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, knowing it won’t stop there. Because it never stops there.” “I’ve been chasing the high I got from the first time I ate Girl Scout cookies for years. I swear they sprinkle cocaine in them. No other way to explain it.”
Utter Monster
“Taking a poop in the corner of Kohls on the carpet.” “I was thinking, “Well, that’s not so bad” until I got to “on the carpet.” What kind of monster doesn’t poop on the tile.” “My dog seeks out rugs if he has to puke. I’m like, wth dude, I get that you think this is the grass of the inside, but come on.”
Backstabber
“When someone complains about everyone else behind their backs.” “Including their own family that does nothing but support them. Dated an idiot like this once. He even complained about his mom, grandma with polio, his grandpa, step-dad, birth dad, aunt, uncle etc, meanwhile treating them like ATMs for his every desired venture. YEET!!”
Too Honest
“When they say, “I’m just really honest.” “I am just really honest and refuse to tell a lie in any way. That being said I am a complete and total jerk. Also, for honorable mentions: “I’m not a mean person. I’m just a bit cavalier.”
Totally Manipulative
“Taking advantage of others or mistreating others when they can get away with it. Things like letting their roommates do all their dishes and pay all the bills. Getting their partner to do the majority of housework and slinking out of helping. Acting as if they care about something only when someone is witnessing them. Being kind only when others are watching. Being cruel when others are not watching. “Forgetting” things that don’t fit their narrative about who they are. It is so manipulative to cultivate a false persona and act the opposite when it is advantageous. So many people use this strategy to get away with terrible behavior, and once you see their true colors, it immediately screams they are terrible at their core.”
Double Hate
“Don’t hate the player; hate the game.” “Yeah, I hate both.” “Yeah, because don’t the players keep the game running? I think people use this line to absolve themselves of guilt and make it seem like they have no power whatsoever in the grander scheme of things when they absolutely do. Being a part of “the game” perpetuates it, which is (often) an active choice. I would know bc I’ve used this line too before to rationalize bad decisions.”
Bad Bully
“Bullying others. Whether you see it as a joke or not, you’re still annoying someone else, and that’s wrong, so get the hell away from my table and stay at least 6 feet away from me, Simon.”
I’m Right
“People that care more about being right than anything else. People that lie to seem better than other people.” “These genuinely are the worst!”
Awful Affair
“In my opinion, cheating on your significant other is one of the highest levels of betrayal a person can do to another.” “My best friend cheated on her partner of almost ten years. She tried to act like the victim (guys, she was so depressed /s) and that it wasn’t a big deal. Meanwhile, her partner blamed himself for her infidelity, and I was physically sick from the stress of knowing what kind of person she was when it came down to the wire. Yeah, not that big of a deal.”
Mental Help
“Believing mental disorders don’t exist.” “And its corollary: Believing mental disorders absolve you of responsibility for your actions.”
