Good People Who Admitted to Doing Something Downright Bad
Most people consider themselves to be good, but we all have our breaking points. Whether they were just overcome by a moment of stupidity, or they just couldn’t be Mr. Nice Guy anymore, these people admitted to regrettably ruining a moment just because they wanted to.
Some of them ended up apologizing for their actions, while others never even felt a moment of guilt!
Reaching a Breaking Point
Once upon a time, when my sister and I shared a home, I was the one with the mobile phone while she had none. Consequently, she relied on my device to stay connected with her friends. Initially, I didn’t mind sharing, but her friend’s incessant calls gradually became unbearable.
She would ring up a dozen times or more in a day, seeking my sister. Honestly? It was starting to bug me. One particular day, my sister and I were in the kitchen preparing a meal when my phone buzzed.
As soon as I saw the caller ID and recognized her friend’s name, I reached my breaking point.I lashed out at my sister.
“Good heavens, I wish she would stop breathing so that she’d quit pestering me with these constant calls.”
I can never erase those words from memory because, shockingly, that was the call informing my sister that her friend had just perished in a car crash.
Her mother dialed all the numbers her daughter frequently contacted to break the tragic news…
Even now, reminiscing about that moment makes me feel extremely guilty.
Miraculous Repairs
My busted PlayStation got swapped with the one from the kid next door. While he was away eating dinner, I dashed to my place and made the switch before he returned. He later rang my home, wondering if his PlayStation had any issues while he was gone.
I pretended as if I had no idea what he was talking about.
Overwhelmed with guilt, I found another chance that same weekend to trade them back. I felt a slight relief when I heard his elated voice on the phone, thrilled that his PlayStation “miraculously repaired” itself. Ah, the wicked antics of my mischievous 12 year-old self.
Problem Solved
While I was in university, I went to a residential bash with some buddies of mine. Roughly three hours in, I observed everyone gravitating towards the backyard. Curious, I trailed after them and found out that my mates had run into trouble with some other guys.
As I came closer, I overheard a lass exclaim, “This is absurd! I’m contacting the police!” I glanced at her, noticing her slightly off state, and said, “You’ve had a few. You’re slurring your speech.
Allow me to handle this.”
She extended her phone towards me, which I promptly tossed as far as I could, then hollered at my pals, “Hey, it’s high time we skedaddle!” And just like that, we vanished into the night.
To this day, I feel a twinge of guilt about the phone fling incident, but then again, I did solve the crisis on hand.
Voicemail Hack
Once when I was in college, I had these two girlfriends who figured out my voicemail password. Secretly, and quite mischievously, they recorded a fun, flirty message, switching back and forth, saying, “We apologize, Zid’s a bit busy at the moment. Please leave a message.
If he behaves, we might just let him return your call.”
The funniest part? About two weeks passed before I discovered this little prank, thanks to my deeply religious mom…
