Hey Pandas, What Bad Thing Did You Do That You Don't Regret? (Closed)

Yoinked this right off of R/confessions but who cares.

My neighbors were horrible, cruel & neglectful dog owners. I secretly trespassed into their yard, stole their dogs and re-homed them to loving homes. They got another one after those, and I stole that one, too. I just don’t understand how some people can be so flippantly cruel to another living creature.

I broke the nose of a bully in school. He belittled and teased his juniors to no avail.
The irony is that he was an year older than me and after that he stopped bullying others.
He complained about me straight to the Principal but I stood my ground infront of her and called all of his victims. He ended up getting suspended and with a plastered nose for 2 months.

I found a baby bird once. It had clearly fallen out of its nest, so i went to grab it to call animal services. A teacher told me not to, because if i got.my scent on it the mother would regect it. So i left it, much to my annoyance. Then through the day i began thinking 'wait, it doesn't matter if i get my scent on it. The mother can't get it back and she certainly wont protect it when its on the ground. its already been abandoned.'
So i decided that my teacher was full of s**t. I took the bird home with me and got my parents to call animal services. It grew up and learnt to fly. No regrets

When I'm on YouTube, I actively troll the trolls. Of course I don't feel bad about that.

I got someone suspended in high school. He kept being sexually harassing me and some of my friends. The last straw was after rehearsal at school when I was at my locker he tried to pull my thong and grab my cr*tch. He then sent me a text message asking me if I was ever going to get my cl*t pierced.
I was the only one who reported him. Everyone else thought I made it into too much of a big deal, boys will be boys, he was just joking, etc. and at the time I thought maybe I should have just let it go. Now that I am in my mid-30's, I am so damn proud of myself. That behavior should have never been tolerated in the first place.

Not sure if you can qualify this, but I more or less cut my ties with my biological father last year.
He's more of a Conservative with his political views, and very much indulging in conspiracy theories and "Fake News". He had the audacity to try and imply that I should avoid getting the COVID vaccines, and if my workplace mandates it, let them fire me. I did get all three vaccines to date, and had my first one before he even suggested to refuse vaccination.
Less than two months later, he's the one who gets fired by his workplace, government security, for refusing to get vaccinated. Now, he has to live with grandma, is unemployed/barely made an attempt at finding a new job, and continues to say stupid anti-vaxx and conspiracy on his Facebook (among his most "memorable", he believes the government is using the war in Ukraine is to try and regain control after the COVID narrative is falling apart).
I'd like to avoid him as much as humanly possible. Ever since I became an adult, I've been realizing more things about his behaviour, and can realize in hindsight that he wasn't a good influence on me. He was coming off as more and more toxic the older I became.

Apparently it was bad of me to bring up a certain youtuber's repeated scamming past, since he was collecting payments for a supposed mass merch order shipment.(Where fans pay for the items they want ahead of time and then the youtuber puts in all the orders at the same time.) When the date of shipment passed people started complaining and getting worried. The youtuber kept making excuses. I don't think anyone got their orders but I hope he kept his word of refunding everyone.
I got blast shamed on Twitter with the whole community and the youtuber and his cronies started harassing me on every platform they could find me on.
I thought, at the time, I should've just not said anything. However I was scammed not long before that, and my fraud sensors were on full alert. I just didn't want anyone else to be a victim of fraud.
I now do not feel any regrets. I wasn't the only one to get shamed on Twitter by these guys. Some people got it done to them for a lot more pettier reasons. Got to see the fan community, and the youtubers, for what they are, and I'm glad I'm no longer part of a cult fan base.

Neighbor had an unspayed dog and allowed her to have 3 litters of puppies one right after another. Because of the back to back litters, she became underweight and severely malnourished. My husband and I came home one Sunday afternoon and the mama dog was in our carport clearly hurt. We walked to the neighbor's house to tell him about his injured dog and no one there so we left a note on his door and called and left a message. A few hours later he called us and told us the dog looked okay; we did not agree and told him the dog needed to be taken to the vet, she was obviously hurt. The next morning, I watched as he left for work, the dog still on our car port injured. I called into work and took a personal day, gathered some of the neighborhood kids who helped me get the dog in another's neighbor's truck and together we took her to the vet. The vet said she was in as bad shape as any dog he had seen and wasn't sure she would live. She lived and it turns out she had been shot with buckshot and had lost sight in one eye. The vet treated the dog not asking us where the dog lived or who the owner was - he didn't want to report us as taking the dog. The neighbor never knew what happened to his dog but after being "hidden" at a friend's house, she became a wonderful pet for my in-laws. In fact, it's another story but the dog actually saved my mother-in-law's life. She was a great dog.

I regret encouraging my dad to watch Dead Poets Society right after my sister's funeral. She did anything for his approval, got nothing, and I figured my dad needed the burn. But it made him so sad that I feel horrible thirty years later, and I'm sure I'm going to hell for it. I'm sorry, Dad. It was petty of me, and my youth doesn't excuse it.

Once my high school (girl ) BFFs tried to ‘help’ a little pigeon that had fallen onto the sports field, but with their clumsiness I was positive it would kill it.
They didn’t want to call animal rescue because they wanted to sneak it back into the dorms, because they think it’s cute.
But I called the nearest animal rescue center (yes it exists) and they came and got the pigeon.
When my friends came I told them it flew away.

I cut my losses with my former roommate when he got out of rehab. My fiancé and I were planning our wedding, and I asked him if I could invite J, the former roommate. His response was “Sure! As long as you don’t want a groom there!” Fiancé ended up being my husband of 13.5 years now, and former roommate overdosed and died shortly after that.

pretty long and not perfectly written but, i let my dad die a probably painful death, he was an alcoholic and abused me, my siblings, autistic brother and younger sister and my mum, he didnt hit her but made her take it up the a*s when she stepped out of line he said it wasnt rape because they were married,
when i was 14 he started sexually assaulting me saying he was teaching me "how to say no" i got the worst of the violence, siblings were smacked hard enough to cause welts on the skin,
he made comments saying kids sometimes fantasize about having sex with their parents asking if i did and asking if i ever tried to look at his penis, he slept naked at night he thought that because his quilt had shifted it was me,
when i was 18 and he did the "teach you how to say no" i kept pushing back until he threatened to have my bf put in hospital so i let him assault me, i could go on but itd take a week
anyway with all his alcohol intake he got liver disorder and liver failure, it was to the point it was a struggle to wake him up whenever he fell asleep on the couch, sometimes he forgot things after he woke up, who i was, where my mum was, she left when i was 11 i had to care for me and my siblings, stuff like that
the big point is that, as you can understand i was terrified of him, and he hated doctors and hospitals, a friend of his visited for about an hour when he left he told me to call an ambulance, i told him dad doesnt like doctors, the guy said "he's dying, he needs an ambulance now"
an ambulance was called but not by me, my boyfriend spoke to a doctor the next day without telling me, not for the ambulance but just for advice but they sent an ambulance and he died the next day,
the friend that visited said that he couldve been saved if something was done sooner, i was too scared to call one because i thought i would get a beating again
i genuinely thought his behavior was because of love, that he was doing his best as a single parent and that i deserved that stuff to happen, so it took a while before i realised that he deserved way more pain than he got and im glad he's dead
again sorry for the crappy typing and the long post

I regret a lot of things, but one that I don't regret is flipping off my toxic friends when they revealed their true colors. I got a lot of s**t for it, but I honestly didn't and still don't give a f**k.

Break minor laws like jaywalking, and I don't care because I don't endanger others when I do it.

This one teacher cussed at me in grade 10 and failed me because she didn't like me(she also said many horrible things such as I faked my depression for attention, and that I should be *deleted* because I am bisexual). I went to someone on the school board about it and the principal marked my work instead and passed me. She almost got fired(she had a record of being horrible to students), her husband divorced her because he found out how she treated her students, and up until the day I graduated, she would glare at me when we passed in the hall.
TLDR: teacher was a jerk, I almost got her fired, I caused her divorce, and she hates me
I regret nothing, she deserved that and more

I punched a little girl in the nose for saying my mom was going to hell for teaching evolution. Her older sister was supposedly going to get my mom fired. Hitting her seemed like the only answer to my 6 yr old brain.

Ok so revenge story:
Not so long ago in a land not so far away…
Dundundun dun dundundundun dun dundundundun dun dundundundun…
(Star Wars theme)
So one guy let’s name him… Al. And the other girl… ari. So ari and Al had a classic love story… girl meets boy, girl falls in love with boy, girl and boy come together, y’know. Then this other guy, Carl, meets them. (This story takes place in america, Carl is British) Carl was a jerk. He thought he was the coolest for being British, tried to take over the school, etc stc. He was on the brink of bearable. Then a few years later we meet sia. Sia was a British again (no grudge against British here, just telling the story.) So, they both gang up. They are racist, gender discriminative, entitled, idiots. They thought britishers should be treated better In america because america “needed them.” This did not sit well for Native American Ari. So she told them off. They made fun of her a lot. They teased her, bullied her, and blamed her for things so she got in trouble. Al one day joined them (Al is her boyfriend, incase you forgot). Ari to us practically devastated, crying, hysterical, me and a group of friends were really angry. But instead of just yelling at Al, we anted revenge.
So, first we got rid of their tea because we heard that was pretty big to British. But that was just a starter. We filled their locker with confetti, so each time it oppened it would burst. And then we changed their locker codes. We made very shuttle changes, easy to be seen as a glitch on the paper with the actual code. If you have ever used a school locker you know what I mean. Now here comes a new girl. Her name is Sanchi. She didn’t want to get in trouble, but she is really smart. So she decided to stick with them, even though she truly believed in us. She stuck with them and so we had a “spy” on their group. Now Al copies of her tests, and so she put in all the wrong answers (IN A TRUE OR FALSE TEST) and then went up to turn it in. Al got up also. Then Al turned his paper in while she made a show of seeing something on the page and going back to remove it. She filled in the right answers, and then turned it in. There were a lot of tests, and they copied her, only to get a 0 on all of them. (To be fair, he was copying in the first place). So then they start teasing us again, but she recorded it and presented it, along with other pieces of evidence we had collected on the way like the test scores, to the principal. At first he was skeptical, but sanchi has a photographic memory and knew each answer she had given for all the tests. This, along with the videos of them teasing and bullying others, got them suspended or expelled… idk which.

When my dad was in hospice care my husband wanted to leave us so we could talk and say goodbye. My dad said that I didn't have to and I thought "f**k it" and left. I should have been stronger. .
