We got in touch with cp3t_n3m0 and they said that, in a way, the post stems from their own personal experiences.“I was thinking of when I was working with an unpleasant coworker—one who seemed to break every rule the company had,” the Redditor toldBored Panda. “I was baffled at the fact that she wasn’t kicked out right away.“They added that the woman was eventually fired, but her behavior left a lasting impression on how some people can navigate through life without any regard for others, and so cp3t_n3m0 was compelled to hear similar stories.

My sperm donor (father is not a term for him) He was a sociopath who loved torturing the family in various ways. He tied his wife to a chair to hear her scream. He tortured and killed our pets in front of us, threw me out a 2nd story window, tried to suffocate his son, turned the oldest daughter into his 2nd “wife"When people talk about the"Good old days " I remember them as the days where secrets like this were kept and nobody would interfere with spousal /child abuse.
My mother. When I was 15, my father finally went too far and almost killed me (choking). Mom pulled him off and he backhanded her. The next day I came home from school to find suitcases waiting and be told that we were leaving. I asked why it took so long for mom to leave him. Dear old mum replied matter-of-factly “Oh, well, he never hit me before. I told him years ago if he ever hit me I would leave.” So yeah. Those dozens (hundreds?) of times I was his teenage punching bag? I guess that was fine. F U, mum. I hope you die alone in a third rate nursing home.
As the author of the post followed the discussion, they noticed that certain groups of people were being mentioned more than others.“Most of the replies had something to do with coworkers or parents. I think part of the reason those folks were the most common answers is simply because we spend the most time with them on any given day and truly get to see the real side of those individuals.“Plus, cp3t_n3m0 said they have noticed that people love to have a villain or someone they hate in their lives “because it makes them feel like the hero. Every story has a hero and a villain.”

Debra Martin and her husband Percy “Bud” Martin are the worst people I’ve ever had the misfortune of knowing. They owned and operated hyper-religious “troubled teen” boarding schools (the latest of which was called Wings of Faith in Stockton, Missouri; sister school to Agape Boarding School) where they abused hundreds of girls over a span of decades. They got away with all of it, too.
My younger brother. He’s abusive he mocks me for being disabled. I have epilepsy. And he would try to trigger a seizure for his own entertainment. I once asked him why he literally said idk I was bored.The reason he’s not reported is because my mother would feel very guilty. My parents always comfort me after he’s gone.
Findings from a 2022 University of California San Diego Rady School of Managementstudyreveal people often hurt others because, in their mind, the behavior is morally right or even obligatory.“For a majority of offenders, it’s not worth the trouble to inflict harm purely from a place of cynical greed,“saidpsychologist Tage Rai, an assistant professor of management at the Rady School of Management and author of the study. “For example, as we saw from the January 6 hearings, many of the perpetrators of the attack on the Capitol believed the election had been stolen from them and that they were morally in the right to punish the congresspeople who had wronged them.““Many of these people will be materially punished for their actions, [but] what’s unclear is whether that would stop them from doing it again,” Rai added.

One of the priests at a church I used to attend was outed as a prolific sex predator and disgraced the office he was ordained to.Essentially he would organize Bible reading groups with younger kids like a mini Bible study. Instead of studying the Bible he’d get really touchy and creepy especially with some of the younger boys (in the 8-10 age range). My cousin went to one of these studies and the priest “accidentally” grabbed his crotch when he went to pick something off the floor.Eventually someone told before and the guy was charged. But not after several young kids were abused. Safe to say we don’t go to that church anymore.
A former CFO I worked for. He convinced the CEO he was being paid too little and hatched a plan to fire 70 employees, force middle mgmt to take a 10% pay cut and all under the fake sob story that the company wasn’t performing well and they “absolutely had” to take this action to save everyone else’s jobs. Then only a month later, both the CEO and CFO more than doubled their salaries. The CFO did other things like contract his own employees from his side business to the company for a 100% upcharge, denied employees even a 3% raise, bullied his employees and belittled them….he was a horrible person and I wouldn’t pee on him if he was on fire. In fact…I’d probably go find some gas to throw on him.
Across four different experiments in an online economic game, he discovered that providing a monetary bonus for punishing a third party cut participants' willingness to do so nearly in half.
“The findings suggest people may be more hesitant to do harm when they stand to profit from it if they anticipate condemnation from their peers,” Rai explained.
cp3t_n3m0 thinks that ultimately, the decision to cut people out of our lives hangs not only on their toxicity but also on our ability to tolerate it.“I am a big believer in forgiveness, but sometimes, it can be too much,” they said. “I think it all depends on each individual’s boundaries and comfort level. Everybody is different. Some are better at handling difficult people than others.”

A medical officer in the army I worked for was the worst person I ever knew.He was a Captain in the army and a Physician’s Assistant. Everything was about himself and getting a promotion and awards. He constantly berated and threatened everyone around himself, especially anyone who came close to his level of medical ability, which is why he attacked me, because I’m a paramedic. He hated all doctors.He was denied to go to flight medical school because of psychiatric issues and psychiatric medications he was taking before our deployment, so he stopped taking the medications and was able to attend.Our deployment to Afghanistan was a constant battle of egos and embarrassment over what he would say and do to patients and to other medical providers.He was extremely Right Wing and religious and expressed to me his desire to force everyone on earth to be Christian and to turn the world into a colony for the USA.I know his mind was a tortured battleground of internal conflict, but I don’t care at all about that. I just hope his life has been awful every day since I last saw him. Truly a rotten and horrible person.This guy could give Satan a run for his reputation.
My biological parents. My father was a physically abusive loser who used me as a punching bag until he and my mother split up when I was 14My mother was a mentally imbalanced manipulative perverted alcoholic who was into emotional abuse and mindf*****g me on a regular basis.I’m 21 and disowned both of them when I was 14. Best decision of my life. Now trying to pick up the pieces and get some semblance of a life.
My eldest sister.She abused myself and all my siblings. She flew several states away to my racist grandfather to tell him I was marrying a black woman so I would be disinherited. She has been married 4 (going on 5) times . She stepped up financially for each one, cheated on them, and took half their money. When she works she works in nursing…she is an addict of multiple substances and it has impacted her work to the point she can’t work in anything but elective care. She escaped the consequences using the same methods she switched husbands. She got herself appointed guardian to our grandmother and embezzled all of her money. She believes that people who aren’t rich (including her family) are parasites and shouldn’t have the right to vote. She believes all people who aren’t white (even native Americans) should be expelled from the U.S. the last I heard she was attempting to start a cross-state d**g smuggling operation.Now that I put that into writing…she is a lot worse than I thought.
I knew a guy who married a terminally ill woman for attention and sympathy, and used her death to raise money for a fraudulent charity for YEARS afterwards. He also tried to get pity sex from other women while she was still actively dying, telling them that the caretaking was sooo hard on him and sex would be a comfort.Before her terminal diagnosis, he was only casually dating her, along with a number of other women (‘ethical’ non-monogamy my a*s). He proposed when she found out she was going to die and proceeded to document the whole thing on social media, asking for donations all along.The only upside to this horrible story is that I believe this poor woman truly believed he loved her, and it gave her some small amount of happiness before her untimely death.
I used to be a federal defense attorney and represented a great deal of awful people, but the worst was probably a guy who worked as a coyote and human trafficker for a Mexican cartel. Dude was the coldest m**********r I’ve ever met and had a scar that went across the whole of his face right through his eye, which was milky and blind. Guy was like a damn bond villain.
My dad.Hit my mom when I was 4, did it again when I was 12. In between that he spied on me and caught me talking st about him online, and grounded me for a year. Didn’t see him again for another 15 years after he hit my mom the second time, when I decided to see if he had changed.Unfortunately, he had two daughters in the meantime who he of course spied on.He was involved in a car accident that killed someone, but thinks he should be able to have a a special license that lets him freely drive over the speed limit.He thinks someone tried to poison him with anthrax.He thinks he crashed his bike one time because he got roofied. Couldn’t have been his fault.I blocked his number when he wouldn’t stop texting me covid conspiracy theory cp, and pro Putin propaganda.The worst part is that he’s technically actually very intelligent… What an absolute waste of a human being, i hope to never see him again.
My uncle tried to sue my family to take over their business after they hired him when he was desperate for money.Two months after he loses the suit he gets drunk and kills a woman:his gf who refused to have sex with his army buddy.Even worse he does such a p**s poor job hiding the body he gets caught and put in prison almost immediately.He tried to burn the body. Didn’t work. He wrapped it in a carpet and threw it out like less than a mile from his town border.He lives in the country, there are hundreds of ways to hide a body in a way that no one would ever find it.Also he abandoned both his kids and got into a relationship with a woman who took all his (very little) money and broke up with him lol.Edit: on a smaller scale he once stole my bugs I found to use them for fishing trip that I was not invited to.
My grandfather had been a successful salesman and was elderly and retired when his wife died. So then he took on a younger woman and her two adult daughters who hated him and drained his estate so that my mom and her sister got nothing, then divorced him. He went from living in retirement in a massive 3-level, swimming pool, hillside 1960’s jet-set retreat of a home to being wedged in with our threadbare, hungry, month-to-month budget suburban family of six on the poor side of town, to finally dying in hospice with Parkinson’s disease.He deserved it, honestly. He did terrible things to a few people - right up into his final years - and had some dark secrets. His first wife deserved a better husband and my mom deserved a better father.I don’t think I’ve ever described the son of a b***h that way before. I just kept it inside.

My late Father told me something shocking in the year before he passed. He had a much older brother who all of his siblings loathed, including my Dad. He was a scummy scam artist type. He told me that when he was young, my Uncle showed up with a wife and she was younger and apparently a nice woman. They only met her the once and he never spoke of her again to his Mother. One day about 20 years later, a knock on the door. It’s the police. They question my Grandmother about her and say she disappeared the year they got married. They suspected my Uncle killed her. He died in 1999 and I guess they were never able to prove anything.
A guy from Abilene, Texas I went to college with. He carried a rifle around in his jeep because he, “heard there were a lot of (insert gay slur) in DC. He believed white people were smarter, and therefor superior, and liked calling me ‘Comrade” in this snide, backhanded tone because I’m part Russian, but would also tell me I don’t count as pure white because my mother is from Iran (she’s not - she’s from Pakistan). He saw no difference between any middle eastern country.
My exWe dated long distance for a year. I was so in love and young at the time and wasn’t thinking smart. I went down to my country to see him and stayed there a month. I was broke as f**k on vacation. Through the entire relationship, I sent him lots and lots on money. Only thing I’ve received from him is a giant teddy bear and a big pandora bracelet that I lost. I returned to the US and he tell me God had been showing him signs that the relationship won’t work. Why did it take you a year and after I spent all my money and wasted my time to come see you for you to notice that? I got chlamydia from him. I went to the doctor and while I was waiting for my results to load while on the phone with him, I cracked a joke and said I got chlamydia. After the results loaded I actually had it. He didn’t even know what it was and there was no way you’re a grown man that’s sexually active and have to clue what an sti/std is. I hate him till this day and I want all my coins back.
Unfortunately, my own father. I don’t even know where to begin. He has severe schizophrenia that he was treating himself with [substances]. He abused my siblings and I in every way possible and killed animals in the neighborhood for fun in his free time and threatened to kill my mom if she left him. Eventually they divorced when I was 15 and we were forced to stay at his house every other weekend with him and his new girlfriend (now wife) and listen to them have sex in the shower in a single story house where all of us could hear and wouldn’t even feed us the two days we were there while my siblings and I survived on junk food. After I graduated high school, he decided he wanted nothing to do with me and I was relieved not having to go through that again.He came back into my life after I had my son and I let him come around just to be nice but I was still keeping my distance. Then one of my cousins got married and the entire family was invited except for my siblings and I. I really didn’t care because I was never close with his side of the family but my sister was upset and he flat out told her that he and my extended relatives wanted nothing to do with us all because of my mom and a fight she had with my aunt years prior to that. That’s when I decided I was done and wanted no part in his bull s**t whatsoever and I have not seen him in 6 years.
Had a supervisor who greeted me with “Hello a*****e.” every single time he saw me. You ep in full view of his bosses and no one said a thing.
Aw that reminds me of the new manager at a supermarket I worked at in high school and college. I was the most tenured bagger, always showed up early, worked hard, and never called in sick. I also did checking (even though no one trained me, and ran the customer service booth). I was out getting carts and saw a friend I hadn’t seen in a few years so I stopped and talked to him for about two mins. As I come in the manager comes up to me and says “I clocked you out for your break since you were out there talking.” Within the first month of him being there something like 30 people quit. I can’t say it was all bad, I did get a raise…. of $.05 per hour. Anyway, the manager was fired within 3 months

My mother.Well, it would be my father, who has tried to kill me.But my mother literally stood in the doorway and did nothing.
Nothing too horrible but still a scum.My one ex was and probably still is just a horrible person. We dated twice years apart and she basically just used people and tossed them aside like nothing and also a serial cheater. She cheated on me so I left her and then she decides to make all these false allegations on me that were 100 percent lies. I actually almost got jumped outside of a bar because of the things she was saying about me.Somehow she found out who I was dating after and started sending her messages saying horrendous lies about me. She actually had a boyfriend at the time and she still did this out of spite.Ive met a few of her exes over the years and she cheated on them as well. The one actually was UNKNOWING giving her rides back and forth to f**k some guy. Meanwhile he was supporting her since she didn’t work and she was living with him free of charge. She ended up eventually leaving him for the other guy. I’m actually friends with both of those guys now lol. F****d up though.She’s just an all around horrible person .
Horse people, they’re the worst.I worked for a woman who had the single worst case of borderline personality disorder I’ve ever seen.She spent the entire year I lived and worked their trying to convince me my 6 year old horse had arthritis, that my (now wife) was a passing fling, and that she was going to be the “next big thing” in the dog and pony world.Towards the end of me being there I realized she wasn’t feeding the boarders’ horses (mine included) on the evenings I wasn’t working, and I noticed she had information about me I’d shared over the phone or to others while in my apartment on property.After I’d given my two week notice, she hung ferns in front of all the stalls, without telling me. I brought her horses in as usual (only her horses could come in, despite me and other boarders paying for a stall). They are the ferns, predictably. She accused me of trying to poison her horses.I eventually found the camera they had in my place, and got me and my horses out of Dodge.
A customer service director whose entire personality is based on “I am better than you (anyone) because I drive a Tesla.” But has zero empathy, zero people skills, zero results to show.
My mom’s cousin’s husband Toothless Jim (real name Michael). Honestly there are absolutely worse people out there but I really just wanna drop the family legends surrounding this guy:- Said about my cousin N, then 14: “She’s developing nicely”. This was said to her older brother.- Asked my sister what grade she was, she said 10th, he said “Mm. The perfect age.”- He has approximately 4 teeth, hence the nickname. My sister thinks it’s from ds, but ds doesn’t rot your teeth, and he’s only done that twice anyway.- He will tell you about the genius idea he had decades ago to hire some high schoolers as cheap labor to build his fence and a gate. The gate is now also a fence as it has sunk into the ground and cannot be opened.- His house is made of cinderblocks, including the floors. I believe he calls it the Pink Castle.- I have heard contradictory lore about The Poseidon Statue. Some say it came with the house, others say he built the house (not literally with his hands of course). Others still say it came with the house and then he bought more Poseidon statues, ig to keep it company?- He and his wife M have 5 adopted kids (they were all adopted together as a batch of siblings, around like tween age). The kids are adults now, and the fact that they still talk to them is probably a good sign, thank god. But damn, what a man to live with.- M’s father has begged her multiple times to divorce this lunatic, but every time she says “but daddy I love him!” My mom does like her, but now it seems to be in a “bless your heart” way.- He is a practicing lawyer in the state of Texas.
Fell in love with an insanely beautiful Mediterranean woman who was extremely intelligent and crazy attracted to me. Chemistry off the charts and we bonded instantly.I became obsessed and it literally ruined my life. I realised everything I had in the past was no where close to as good as that connection. We travelled the world together for 6 months and it was euphoric. The memories are the best I’ve ever had. We laughed, made love and became best friends. Then slowly, I began to realise she was a narcissist. Would neg me and slowly our relationship turned into mind games. Was a very bizarre change that I couldn’t explain.She was the best and absolute worst thing to ever happen to me. I loved her with everything but also hate what she did and how it made me feel. I will never find someone with that sort of connection again, and it kills me every single day. Every day.
I once knew a guy who asked my girlfriend(now wife’s) permission to ask his girlfriend to marry him. The two of them were friends with the two of us at the time and he was convinced there was something between him and my wife because she was nice to him.This same dude also carried the pictures of a dozen other women around in his wallet who he had had a crush on since high school. One of whom was my older sister.He was the absolute creepiest m**********r I’ve ever had the displeasure of knowing. I only wish I had known how much of a creep he was before making friends with him.
Met a guy at a place I worked at years ago. We hit it off and became friends. We would hang out and shoot the s**t about movies and music since we shared similar interests. His wife and I got along and we were quickly becoming bros. Only to find out that he was cheating on her constantly behind her back and the worst part was, she was sin the hospital giving birth to their son, and he didn’t show up, finding out later that he was at a side pieces house cheating again AND missing the birth of their child. I was there…with his wife, not the POS I used to call friend.
There’s a woman in my workplace that is just pure evil, she badmouths everyone and spreads terrible rumors about them, she’s the type to talk baldy about someone and then go to that person and talk badly about someone else,she’s constantly trying to ruin people’s reputations and ruins their work on purpose to get them fire, she doesn’t do this to move up in the world or anything she just does it because she’s bored even if she doesn’t know the person, she got a lot of new workers fired because she messed with their work behind their backs to give them mistakes, she was also trying to ruin her daughters relationship because she wanted her to move back in with her.This woman is still working there but thank God I’m in a different shift and department from her.
A kid we grew up with offered to work at our friend’s parent’s small business after our friend took his own life. He proceeded to steal from the parents after getting said job.
