Oops! The 50 Sneaky, Low-Key Evil Things People Totally Regret

My annoying neighbor kid put gravel on my wipers, scratching my windshield. His parents just laughed. So, at night, I grabbed some gravel and jammed it under his car's wipers. Not so funny for them anymore!

So this guy drives like a lunatic in my neighborhood, cuts me off all the time. One day he double parks in two spots right before school started. Lucky me, I had a gallon of nasty expired milk in my car. I poured it all inside his windows (which were cracked open because of the heat). The stinky chaos that followed? Epic.

In middle school, me and my bestie created a fake MySpace profile of a smokin' model and convinced her ex to meet up with 'her' at 2 AM. The poor guy showed up, totally fooled, while we sent screenshots to his actual girlfriend. Guilty but hilarious.

Back in high school, I had really rough years with anorexia and one girl sat with me every lunch—like, every single day for a whole year. Then, I started talking to other people and totally left her hanging. Didn't realize it till years later. Teenage me was a total jerk.

There was this girl in front of me in school, and she wasn’t the skinniest. She said something mean once, so I taped a 'WIDE LOAD' sign on her back without her knowing. She walked around with it all day. People laughed—me included—but then I felt awful about it.

I noticed a baby at a restaurant copying my hand movements perfectly—so I thought, why not? I hit my forehead with my fist, and next thing you know, baby smacks his own forehead with his tiny fist and looks totally confused. I did it like 4 times because it was hilarious.

At 13, I lied to break up two friends so I could get with the guy I really liked. I told him Maddy was mad and was asking him out just to spite me (all lies). He believed it, dumped her, and we ended up dating for eight years. Yup, teenage soap opera madness!

I’m a mod on a local Facebook yard sale. An old lady posted a beautiful bed for super cheap. I deleted the post and secretly messaged her so I could grab the bed before anyone else saw it. Yep, sneaky but sweet score!

In 5th grade, we were prepping for the talent show and I told my friend Sarah she needed to lose weight to be in it with us. She was already super insecure about her weight. I felt like a total jerk and still do today.

My friend’s brother passed away and he asked me to spend the night. But I picked a hotel 'cause the girl I liked would be there. Yep, I let my friend down for a crush. Still feels bad.

On the day we were moving into our new house, I left my fiancé while she was still sleeping. Took all my stuff and told her it was over. Then six months later, after it didn’t work out, I took her back... and ditched her again. Terrible move, I know.

When my dad told me maybe I should get a better-paying, full-time job instead of freelancing for low pay, I snapped, “What? You gonna support me?” Totally forgot he raised me. Dad looked crushed and I felt like slime.

My cousin was a player and would wreck girls’ feelings. When a nice girl started crushing on him, I told her exactly how it’d go down. She ignored me and got hurt. She then actually tried to date me—but I just said, 'I told you so,' and walked away.

In 7th grade band, I hid a friend’s trumpet just to be funny. When the class freaked out, I confessed it was me, even though I wasn’t the real thief. Everyone called me a hero and the real culprit got blamed instead. Oops?

In college, I drove friends to the bar and sipped iced tea while they drank. Since my SUV used gas like crazy, everyone chipped in. As they got drunker, I asked for gas money multiple times. They never caught on, and I made up to $100 a night. Sneaky and sweet!

I invited a friend to wingman me when I knew one of the girls was a lesbian. I liked the other girl. Sorry, bro, it didn’t go as planned.

When I was young and mad, I hacked into my dad’s email and told his boss to go to hel. Lucky for me, I misspelled hell, so my dad didn’t get in trouble.

Gone forever is the dude who poisoned his girlfriend and caused a miscarriage because she wanted to keep the baby. Yeah, that's on a whole other level of slimy.

In sixth grade, a shy boy asked me to the Valentine’s dance with a cute heart-shaped box. I said yes, but then made fun of him with my friends and tossed the card out the window. I was a mean kid, and the guilt still stings.

In third grade, I let out a massive fart and pretended it was my best friend Margaret’s doing. She got blamed for my secret toot. Sorry, Margaret!

In high school, a girl with a peanut allergy started dating the girl I had a crush on. So, at every potluck, I sneakily made peanut brittle. Take that, allergy girl!

In 3rd grade, me and a friend shared a Runescape account we worked hard on. I changed the password and sold the account without telling him. Sorry, friend!

In 4th grade, I moved my friend's sparkly diary to a jerk girl’s locker to get her blamed for stealing. I got caught, but then the jerk girl actually had stolen it! Life's weird.

When I was 5 or 6, I poked a hole in my parents' waterbed and blamed it on my little brother. Sorry, kid!

I held onto a homeless girl's bags in my apartment when she asked for help. When I moved, I warned her to get her stuff, but she never came. I threw it all out. Still feel guilty decades later.

In a fun run with an old friend, we agreed to cross the finish line together. But I sprinted ahead at the last moment and lost his trust forever. Ouch.

I pretended to throw the ball for my dog but secretly kept it in my hand. Classic doggo prank!

Got mad at a friend, so when I was at his house I stabbed his jelly in the fridge. Sweet revenge, kind of mean.

I 'borrowed' a ton of old library books from a barely-used local spot before I moved for college. Nobody seemed to care, but I still feel like I stole from an old librarian.

I told on a girl and she got punished by missing graduation. I still feel bad about ruining her big day, 35 years later.

When my friend started crushing on a girl I knew was a serial player, we teamed up to steer him away. I distracted him, she flirted with other guys to put him off. Mean? A bit. Necessary? Definitely.

In an argument, I told my ex-wife "Your breasts look sad"—totally insensitive, especially since she breastfed our kids. Years later and I still feel like a jerk.

I was skinny and couldn’t fight. So, I crafted a fake AOL profile pretending to be a school minority and threw racial insults at a kid I hated to get others mad at him. Yep, sneaky cyber-attack in the 90s.

At 7 or 8, I accidentally hit a girl in the face with a rock and ran away. My friend got blamed and yelled at while I smiled and walked away. Guess I’m the villain in Nicky’s origin story.

I chased away every girlfriend my close friend ever had because I didn’t want to share him. Now he’s convinced love isn’t for him and is really depressed. One of my biggest regrets ever.

In elementary school’s Easter egg hunt, I pulled the special sparkly egg out of a bush right before the shyest girl could reach it. She barely said a word to anyone. Took her shine, and I still feel bad.

Spent a summer with my uncle who taught me how to make keys for Master locks. Me and friends mixed up garage locks all over the block. Next morning? Total parking chaos with everyone locked in!

Was with my girlfriend for 11 years when a hot coworker and I hit it off and hooked up behind the scenes for months. I finally broke up with my girlfriend feeling guilty, but the guilt’s stuck with me ever since.

I was bullied by a girl named Hannah who seemed perfect. One day, I got mad, emptied her entire gym bag- clothes, books, phone-- into a toilet. It was awful in hindsight, but I was super mad then.

I started sleeping with my roommate's girlfriend right after they broke up. He got ulcers and was totally stressed. I felt terrible but we’re still roommates and actually friends, somehow.

Me and my lab partner stole cheap lab gear so we’d get back unused fees. When we found one item was pricey, I sent him a fake email saying we could get expelled. He freaked big time, and I felt pretty bad.

At a car show, some guys were selling a radio I didn’t need. Bought it for $15, then sold it for $20 moments later to a guy who wanted it more. Made five bucks in minutes. Everybody laughed, seller included.

I hit start on the washing machine before my husband was ready because I didn’t feel like folding a mountain of clothes. Sorry, not sorry!

A friend liked a girl who liked me back. I promised to step aside, but didn’t. We ended up together and he got another girlfriend. We still joke about it and somehow stayed friends.

Started dating a friend of a friend. They ditched me on my birthday and then applied for a job at my workplace. I spread rumors, and they didn't get the job. Yep, pretty sneaky.

Best friend came out to me and I promised not to tell. But I blabbed to someone else anyway. I have no clue why she didn’t cut me off, but I regret it big time.

After a breakup, my friend’s ex and I started hooking up behind his back. When I told him, he freaked out and cut me off. The rebound fizzled, and 10 years later, I have no friends.

I slept with a friend’s boyfriend. No excuses.

I gave my girlfriend gonorrhea but managed to convince her she gave it to me. Forgave her... eventually.

My brother and I got remote control cars for Christmas, but the remotes were wired. After a fight, I cut his car’s wire and ruined his toy. The guilt haunted me.
