[Phalanx]

Just wondering what are some actions taken by others that they've regretted in hindsight? Yknow, not so much "went snowboarding, busted my leg" kinda thing, more like the kind of things you've done/said that you've thought back and not liked about yourself?

I'll start with a few...

Age 13 - Throwing rocks at towards a birds nest with a friend, just to make the bord come out on defense mode. one of them clipped the bird, which then flew into a wall and broke its neck. (See, I haven't always been on the animals side) Unintentional, but it's something that stayed with me.

Age 15. When my little brother was just past 4, sometimes I would get stuck with babysitting...I guess this was just a selfish teenager kinda thing to do, but most of the time I'd just let him play with his toys, and watch whatever I wanted, even when there were videos specifically for him there. If he started "bugging me" (which was my way of thinking back then) by asking me to put his shows on, or play a game with him, I told him to leave me alone...one time he was being pretty persistant, and I really don't know why or how I came up with this, but I told him that my mother, sister and I had decided to sell him to another family. I told him to go get his favourite things packed in a bag...and he actually did it, crying all the way. I kept at it, and told him "dont worry, i'll make sure you get a family that lets you watch cartoons and play games" he was just about sobbing uncontrollably then, and through his tears he said "no, but I love you" and right then and there I felt like the biggest cunt ever, and realised that the only reason this kid was always bugging me was just because he wanted to spend time with me. I just hugged him and told him I was being stupid, told him not to worry, it would never happen", then watched his kiddy videos for the rest of the day....So yeah, pretty much from that point onwards things changed between us, and I think I started acting like a brother should...I've since realised (he's 14 now) that he's pretty much the closest relative I've ever had. Funny thing, I actually apologised to him for being such an ass, a few years back, all he said was that I'd made up for it by being his friend.
Still, when I think back, I really don't know what came over me.


There's more...but these are the main two I reflect on when I think about the kind of person I want to be, and the kind that I don't...anyways, that's my sharing...so...any of you do something outrightly mean/nasty that you've regretted later on?
