I don't need actual names. But the context by which you know them should be included. This must be someone you have met or see regularly. Celebs/political people you dont like are not on the table, unless you've met and spent time with them.

Me. Puts me thru so much shit, won't let me sleep and/or be happy, costs me a fortune... The list goes on.

The boy next door. This fucking psychopath decided from a very early age that he enjoyed hurting other kids. Me, specifically, he singled out because I always fought back, always had a big reaction, and always got involved when he started beating on the littler kids (especially the autistic kid around the corner.) If you can imagine a stereotypical childhood bully thing, he did it. And he laughed the entire time until we finally pulled together and got him caught doing it for fun.

Unsurprisingly, having mastered torturing kids in his own neighborhood, he went on to join the military.

My ex-husband. Turns out promising to be involved in your child's upbringing and then sitting back and allowing your wife to flounder and drown while taking care of a baby, full time job, and ALL of the housework is the key to making me hate someone.

Add in a sprinkle of derision for anything I liked whether it was movies, music, or games, and there you have it.

Yikes, sounds like a nightmare.

I was lucky enough to be able to walk away at some point. I still have to deal with him occasionally, but it’s much much less and my life is so much better for it.

Be careful who you have kids with, folk! Haha

It's OP from that other post. The one where they ask a question, get a tonne of good answers then deletes the post.

Hate that guy...

This one makes more sense with Lemmy than it ever did on Reddit. On Reddit, you can (or could anyway) turn off notifications for a post. On Lemmy if you don't want to be spammed by notifications on a post you made, you only have the option of deleting the post. You can't mute it.

I set up a large set of forums for a particular fanbase and offered to run it for a news site related to that particular fanbase. The editor said they were not interested. 3 months later a set of forums identical to mine pops up, attached to the news site, and I've lost all my moderators.

So: that editor and those moderators.

I used to call him my brother. In reality he’s a half- brother and after what he put me through I will not acknowledge any relation to him.

I always knew he was insufferable, ill-tempered, a know-it-all. But I finally got to see him in full form after my dad died and he and I had to administer the estate. A short list of things he did to me during that time…

  • Broke a promise to split all estate expenses 50/50 until the property was sold, sticking me with mortgage payments and the property tax bill.

  • Offered zero help in cleaning the house, choosing instead to show up once a week and loudly criticize the job I was doing, in addition to insulting me every chance he got.

  • Took pains to belittle the fact that I took time for myself, played in bands around town, and otherwise looked out for my mental health.

  • Once I got an offer on the house, demanded that I play head games with the buyer to get a better offer, including not replying to messages. The buyer backed out and we lost the sale. Threw several temper tantrums about the price of the house the whole time, despite the house being listed for exactly its fair market value.

  • Assisted me with a very expensive car repair after I got in a wreck. I made every attempt I could to pay him back over time, and he eventually got impatient and threatened me to pay him in full immediately or he’d take me to court. Proceeded to launch into a tirade over how I was to blame for all his financial problems.

There’s more but I think you get the picture.

I've met Elon Musk but I'm still gonna go with my ex-wife as being the biggest piece of shit on the planet who was in my life.

Mine was a guy I knew when I was 19-20ish. I worked as a laborer for some carpenters. I did it in summers and chunks of winters through college. He was one of the crew I'd ride in with every day. He was a 50 year old middle school bully essentially. He was also a very small man (probably 5 foot even) and I think me being very large is part of why he zeroed in on me. Long story short, by the time I finally had enough I threatened him that we'd settle things when we got back to the shop. Beating him down would have been less than a challenge. He hit me with a line I'll never forget "You can try, but I'll show ya how a pistol makes a big man small". He eased up a bit after that but only a little and I stopped working with that crew a few weeks later.
