What's the most cruel thing you have ever said to someone? Do you regret it or did they really deserve it?

So... long story filled with obsession and stalking but at one point my ex grabbed me, dragged me into an alley, held me at knife point and attempted to assault me. He was thwarted by a pub employee seeing it on came, thinking of was some sort of consensual solicitation situation and told us to leave. I obviously used that to run as far and fast as I could into a public square to wait for a bus go go home. He still thought he could intimidate me, he saw me sitting on the bench and came to sit next to me... but... it was in the open, alot of cameras, busy. I was... very much scared and furious. I told him, with a massive smile that if he ever... ever tried anything like that ever again i would bite his man bits off and that as far as i was concerned he was a pathetic child only a sad little cuck would only get laid by threatening a woman and leaving him was obviously the best decision i ever made.

I remember him grabbing my hair and wrenching my head back. I dared him to have the balls to kill me in front of everyone. He spat on my face called me a half breed b***h and walked away... and I wiped that off... sat there for like three minutes before I just absolutely lost it, throwing up, sobbing.

it took another year for police to take it seriously and arrest him. A 3yr ordeal-- PTSD, derailed career and academic, a daily battle with fear and anxiety and trust issues... oh and revenge photos and videos online, sent to professors, friends and colleagues. 3yrs of hell with a lifetime of consequences over a 3 or 4 month relationship when I was 18.

I don't regret anything I said. I never had such clarity with regards to him than I had in that moment. Very rarely was I ever truly afraid, as afraid as I should have been... but I was entirely correct and I'm glad I kept it together long enough for him to see me stay strong.

Oh sorry another detail... I am not quick to anger. I don't raise my voice, I can be snarky but I am not the sort to raise my voice, swear or ever really do anything remotely like that. I'm the sort who if someone walks into me, I apologise.

    I told a girl I used to be friends with that she was a "manipulative b****y asshat" once. Don't regret it. She pretended to be my friend, and then ruined my relationship with a mutual friend so she could ask them out, and then told me that she "didn't think we were clicking" right after my best friend (the mutual friend) had blocked me and I'd broken up with my then-boyfriend.

    She's a piece of s**t, and I wish her the worst in life. She actively tries to make other people's lives inconvenient for her own entertainment, and just steamrolls everyone in her path.

    When I was in Junior High, (which wasn't too long ago) there was this kid who was making fun of the kids who were playing Clash Royale. I knew nothing about the game, but he was hitting their phones and telling the kids to kill themselves. Not nice stuff. (Also this is probably not the craziest thing I said it just came to mind) so I walk over and say, "Oh! Hey balloon! Oh, I mean ----" he looks at me and says, "What do you want? Because if you want your teeth you'd better back off!" So I say, "How could a balloon hurt me?" "What are you saying, d***head?" So I say what comes to mind first. "Well, you're round, just like a balloon, your voice makes it sound like you inhaled helium from a balloon, and the color of your jacket is the sick green of the forgotten color of balloon in store shelves. The only difference is, you probably weigh 250 pounds." (I have nothing against overweight people he was just being an idiot.) He just walked away and I didn't see him there since. Ever since then, he started acting nicer and eventually became a good person, but just needed a little humbling I guess.

    I’ve read some of the stuff on here. Rude comments. Rude words. Said from different people. The longest Bored Panda comment thread, Hrm. I’d say some of the words said by some people were justified. Others. Not so much. I won’t say anything else. Hrm..

    My ex left me after he started seeing someone else. After a few days, he came begging me to come back. I asked if he was still with her and he said yes but he wants me back. I told him if he really wanted me back then he would have made her leave before he came asking me to come back. He was still trying while we were sitting in court finalizing the divorce and she was at home. I didn't say a word. I just kept signing.
