People Break Down Which Things They'd Wish Upon Their Worst Enemy

We all have moments when we wish the worst on people who've done us wrong. The thoughts that might have crossed your mind when you think about the horrible things you'd inflict on the worst person you've ever met are likely not fit for print. But you'd be surprised how creative some people can be with their punishments.

We're not talking Saw levels of comeuppance here, by the way, as that would be wrong. There are lots of other ways to drive people crazy, as we learned after Redditor thingusracamagucous asked the online community, "People say 'I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy' but what WOULD you wish on your worst enemy?"


"I would wish..."

I would wish for the arches of their feet to itch at the most inconvenient of times for the rest of their life, especially when on a ski lift.

"Even when they are riding..."

Every traffic light is red. Even when they are riding with others or on a bus. Everywhere they go, red lights.

"And for everyone he encounters..."

Slow, sinking, agonizing realization of the true damage he's done. And for everyone he encounters to automatically know what he's done, so everywhere he goes, people shun him and refuse to much as sell him a cup of coffee because they don't want even a minimal association with someone so vile.

Oh, and no amount of alcohol or drugs can numb the shame, regret, and self-loathing and he gets to live a nice long life that way.

"He'll step on..."

Empathy. My worst "enemy" happens to be an incredibly brilliant and talented person, but he's a total sociopath. He'll step on or over whoever he needs to in order to meet his own goals. He's the type that would repossess storybooks from an orphanage, like Walter Hobbs in the movie Elf. I'd inflict a sudden onset of empathy and the guilt that would accompany it when he looks back at how he's treated people. He COULD help to make the world a better place.

"Forever."

Itchy bumhole. Forever.

"Like..."

Chronically itchy anus, and elastic in her clothing that gives up the ghost at random and very inconvenient times.

Like, she can be at the grocery store, just shopping for eggs or bread or whatever, and suddenly, one bra strap snaps, leaving one boob flopping unrestrained, and one sock feels like it's about to slide down into her shoe, and all the while, her butthole itches.

"To have..."

To have sneeze induced diarrhea AND suddenly be allergic to everything.

"That they have a realization..."

That they have a realization about what a horrible person they have been and apologize to everyone they have wronged. Then they take positive actions to make things right with each of those people.

"To swallow..."

To swallow those magnetic pins that prevent shoplifting. Now every time they go to a shop they'll ring and have to explain why and sound dumb.

"A lack of enjoyment..."

A life of solitude and alienation. A deeply unfulfilling career. A lack of enjoyment in hobbies and amusements. No close friends or companions, but a smattering of acquaintances and parasocial relationships.

People Divulge Which Things Instantly Ruin A Conversation For Them

Sometimes everyone needs to hush up.

Wouldn't that be nice?

If people could catch onto social queues and actually engage in conversation with another human, maybe then we'd be able to triumph at the basic art of communication.

But humans seem to be failing in this department.

So who among us hasn't been trapped in a nonsensical splattering of words we'd give limbs to escape from?

Moments of distress where you think your life is on the line are unshakable.

Many people have at one point experienced situations where they thought they wouldn't come out the other side alive but are somehow spared through some miracle.

They are lucky enough to tell their stories.

Everyone has their own opinion about what qualifies as a good read, whether based on literary merit or the joy of reading it.

But there are some titles that people can pretty easily agree took a turn that really didn't do the book any favors.

Some people don't take in information as quickly as others.

Which is absolutely nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about, nor does it necessarily reflect on one's intelligence.

Even so, we all can't help but feel the tiniest embarrassed when we've found ourselves a little slow on the uptake regarding certain pieces of information.

Be it a random fact of trivia that everyone knows, or even realizing there's a reason your parents were trying to instill a life lesson in you.

Being hit by a ton of bricks might actually be a welcome relief to the embarrassment that will run through your body.
