... when you take the long route home, drive straight past your own house, and drive as slow as you can round town for a while just to piss off the guy behind who's been tailgating you since you left the motorway.

i amused myself by doing that tonight :)



to make this thread less of a steaming pile of shite, what little cruel/sadistic things do you do like that? i'm not talking properly unpleasant, just little things to get your own back or something. example: i know someone who, when they know their opponent is wrong in a debate, they will wait until the opponent has totally finished spouting shit before 'correcting' them, just to make the beat-down even worse. this is particularly true for arrogant opponents, cos they have it coming :P

One night, me and my friends were hanging out at this public park since we had nothing else to do, and this fucker from the baseball field asks us "Have you seen our ball?". So we respond "No." and then he says "Are you sure?" and then I tell him "Yeah, it's a dark field, over a mile long. Just get another one.", after that response, he accuses my friend of stealing his ball. So my friend just says "whatever" and walks away. But this guy starts following him, trying to start a fight. The dude says to my friend (in an extremely creepy voice), "Come here, skinny boy!". So my friend gets in his car, drives up close to the guy, flashes his brights in the dudes face, and then revs his car up to make it sound like he was about to run the dude over. And then we got in the car and left.

Oh yeah, here's another one. In 9th grade, there was this dude who was really pissing me off, and we got into an argument and eventually he wanted to fight me. Now I could take him quite easily, but I didn't want to get in trouble. So I purposefully didn't attack him, I just walked back to avoid being hit myself, each time warning him "I don't want to fight, just back off". I even let him punch me once, still didn't hit back. Finally after I was sure that everyone watching knew he started it and was keeping it going, I let him get one more hit on me, then I charged him, slammed him against the wall, twisted his wrist quite hard, punched him, and finally threw him into the tables. And then sarcastically said "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I know martial arts and shit. Sorry".

Well the whole thing was that there was a general rumor in the school that I was pathetic and could get my ass kicked by a 3 year old. Which I let spread for the very reason of being able to do what I did one day.

Today someone told me about someone who tried to shoot up peanut butter. I thought that was hilarious but they got all offended when I laughed.

Sometimes I drive exactly at the speed limit just to piss people off.

If a telemarketer calls me I make fun of them by acting really enthusiastic. They hang up pretty quickly.

When I play video games online sometimes I act really stupid until they let their guard down and then beat them at the last minute. Partly because I hate it when I'm winning and someone disconnects.

You know you're a bit of a sadistic git when...

some a-hole drives up behind you on the motorway and honks at you to move so they can dive past you,...so you drive up to where theres a line of cars across the motorway, all driving the same speed and you grab the only gap between them and drive their speed so that NOBODY can past, including said A-hole

To be honest, it depends what it is. If something is genuinely funny and non-hurtful then I don't have a huge problem with it (i.e. good trolling both in forum and RL).

I just did something evil. One of the people in the apartment took my washing (that had been sitting for under 10 min because I watch the time, I was on a call) out of the washer put it on top of the dryer. Then he comes and informs me. What's wrong with a nice "your wash is done?" So I'm drying my clothes twice.

When I was in school, I was one of the better students. There was one class in particular which I seemed to "get" more than other kids, so when we had class work I would usually finish before others and then help them.
Now, some people genuinely had trouble with the subject (the teacher was no great shakes), and I would try to help them out as much as I could. Others saw the class as an excuse for doing nothing, and I felt took advantage of our teacher's lack of experience. When I helped them, I always tried to tell them what was true, so they would get it right on a test (I wasn't that awful), but come up with new reasons. For example, I would mix a little Aristolean physics in with Newton's laws, or explain elliptical orbit as "the effects of our mass on Earth's circular orbit."

It's people like me that are probably to blame for America's scientific illiteracy.

You, sir, are a master ass. I commend you for your subtle ways.

Me, back in high school I was amazing at just about every subject. So people came to me for help(Or answers, more than often). If math, I would make the most complicated, incomprehensible equation for discovery the answer to a very small equation(Hehe-nothing like half a page of equations that I told them they "had" to do in order to find the right answer, when 4 lines would have sufficed).

In History... well... I was just cruel. I lie. A lot. And am very convincing at it. Usually, people who know me well enough pick up on it, but a lot of people don't get them I'm screwing with them.

In science, especially chemistry, I would tell them the completely wrong thing to do(Never leading to dangerous results, however. Usually it just makes whatever they were doing not work at all).

Now, I only did this to people who took advantage of my willingness to help. And it was amazing.

Me? Sadistic, evil things?

Like duct-taping a fellow high school student naked to a toilet? Or stealing clothes/towels/etc while they're in the shower? Or engaging in horrible acts on drunken passed out friends(of types and degrees of horribleness too diverse to go into)? Gluing people's socks on? Freezing a college student's mattress solid? Pouring buckets of icewater over the showercurtain in the communal dorm shower? Digging a five foot deep pit, filling it with watery mud and covering it with twigs/leaves on a major path on campus? Bringing super soakers to a snowball fight? Supergluing a vibrating pocketpager to a man's scrotum? Chloroforming a friend, encasing him in a full body cast and tickle-torturing him for three hours? Intentionally shooting people in the groin during paintball games? Stuff like that?

Nope. Never. :)

While the mark is gone for a particularly frigid four day january weekend, you hide his mattress in the basement, bring up an old worthless mattress(so you don't have to pay to replace the good one), bring it outside, hose it down thoroughly and leave it out for the weekend. Then you carry it into his room shortly before his return and replace the bed linens. :)


...theoretically.

I usually do a brake check. :)

I actually found the number for the Telemarketing center for one company, along with an address. So everytime another Telemarketer call, I just give them that number and address, and usually a fake name. :D

One time a Debt Collector called on my phone (No I don't have any outstanding debts) who wanted to speak to a Linda Honeycutt, someone I did not know. It went something like this.

Debt C: Is Linda Honeycutt there?
Me: No, you have the wrong number
Debt C: Are you sure?
Me: Yes, I am a male, and Linda sounds like a female name.
Debt C: Well could you leave a message for Linda...
Me: No, I don't know her, I'm not Linda, and you got the wrong number!

Hmm...the only thing I can think of that fits the bill occurred in middle school when I caught another student cheating off me. Rather than directly turning her in, I decided to have a little fun, and started making up increasingly ridiculous answers and writing them niiiiiice and large. When I got to the end of the test, I yawned and sat still for several minutes until Miss Cheater decided I was done, and went to turn her test in - at which point I quickly erased everything and wrote in the correct answers, all the while chuckling to myself about how much fun the teacher was going to have trying to figure out how on earth Miss Cheater had come up with her lunatic answers. I have no sympathy whatsoever for people who cheat off others without their consent - they're thieves and liars, and fully deserve to get the sort of horrible grade that girl ended up with (something like an 8%, if I recall correctly). :p

I've knocked my share of cars off the highway while driving a truck. There's always some satisfaction in that, I guess. It's not my fault if people don't know how to merge. The only other car-related thing I can think of is smashing windows or jamming a screwdriver through the passenger-side door panel of a car that parks so close to me that I have to get in through my passenger side door. That's not forgivable, in my book.

Sometimes, when people are clearly talking out of their ass about something, I'll ask clarifying questions I know I'll get asinine answers to. I don't do that to people I like, and generally only if they are being really smarmy or uppity about their "knowledge" or if they are talking about medicine or medical related stuff.

Until about a year ago I used to drive to work in inner Melbourne from Yarra Glen, a satellite town. The road out of Yarra Glen starts with a long steep hill with a couple of tight hairpin bends. Logging trucks constantly use the road and on this section go really, really, really slowly. There's 2 or 3 spots where they can pull over - some do, some don't. The ones that don't used to piss me right off. On the other side of the hill is a long straight section where overtaking is safe and thereafter the road is open and fast for 10 km or so. The speed limit is 80 km/h. The same trucks that won't pull over on the slow section, speed along the next section.

I used to pay them back by overtaking them after the hill and then sticking right on the speed limit. Not sure it was altogether in my best interests to piss them off but they earned it. Some of them would tailgate aggressively.

It's single-lane? I can understand the frustration in that case. If it's two or more, there's nothing wrong with trucks taking the right lane (left in Australia?) at whatever speed they can, be it 20 mph or 40, whatever. Whatever the case is, at least you're not waffling like some sap who won't merge with a truck out of intimidation or mistrust. Those are the guys who end up spun out on the shoulder. In this country, trucks are basically always at fault under the law for any incident, so you won't find a driver who actually wants to mess with you. It's only when you're too slow to make your mind that you get into a mess.

Yeah, it's a single lane road. And, yeah, we drive on the left.

There was a fatal accident on one of Melbourne's freeways a few weeks ago when a woman stopped on an on-ramp, rather than merging with the freeway traffic. A truck ran into the back of her car. It can be dicey when someone stops like that - you're watching the freeway traffic to make sure your speed matches theirs and suddenly the car in front of you slows right down. WHOA! And then you have to try to enter the freeway after being stopped yourself.
