"shirt" as in dress shirt or however you wanna call them. It's not that hard to figure out.

My favourite bit is him being "accountant" to the school's pot dealers. Like they need to claim skins back on their taxes or something.

"I murdered a bunch of people when I was 13 but it's cool because they were bla rapists and murderers and then the police helped me cover up the crime because I was just that cool"

A Truth In Television (as noted above). This editor's friend got a little carried away in a game of "assassin", and did this TWICE, once on the girlfriend of a man we knew was an assassin, (it involved handcuffs and a kettle of boiling water, luckily it didn't go far enough to lead to actually burning her) and then on the man himself to find out who he was going to kill, what makes it worse is that the girlfriend told us about fear of heights (among other things) so he pushed him off, then grabbed and held him over the EDGE OF A BUILDING to get him to talk. Needless to say, we don't talk to him much any more.

When this troper was 10, he didn't think of a good rebuttal when his mother went into the bridge tirade. He just spit a loogie into her mouth, which immediately shut her up.

This troper's ex-wife had eyes of completely indeterminate colour, which also changed with her moods. He thought it was just lighting effects until once, when she was extremely angry and staring completely fixedly, he saw them flickering blue-white.

First to post and, oh boy, do I have a tale for you. Let me set the scene; about two and a half months ago, I was at this party along with a good part of my general high school and another high school, plus hanger-ons, you know? About two hours and five sodas into it, the police come along and break it up, because some guy who wasn't from our school was caught raping a girl from my class at knifepoint. The police take him into custody, wrap a blanket around the girl, take statements and general cop stuff as a crowd gathers around and starts to disperse. My point is, I end up catching a pretty good look at the victim, who's got bruises, a large-ish cut on her cheek and crying like all hell. Flashforward to the present, where she's back at school, trying to get on with her life and everyone's so far been real supportive. BUT...During one class with me, she and I get a little argumentative, I forget about what. I got a short temper, I'm a loner and, despite getting a pretty good idea of what she went through, I lose my temper in a big, nasty way. For the sake of decency, I won't repeat what exactly I said to her in a fit of malice, but I can assure you that I intentionally tried to hurt her emotionally as much as possible. Yeah, that's right, I invoked the time she got raped and taunted her for it because I was pissed off at her. I didn't even need to see her reaction, I could feel my Karma Meter dropping as the words came out of my mouth, I tell ya. Cue a few weeks of everyone calling me out for my callousness. And I mean everyone, including the victim herself, my sister, my parents, the victim's parents, my teachers, the principal, my classmates and people I didn't even know up until then. And I didn't even apologise to her and still haven't as of this writing.

This troper knew a kid at his high school who wasn't necessarily liked, but was tolerated by the majority of the community. All of that changed his senior year when used his pencil to carve the word "gay" into a freshman's hand. He was loathed by the vast majority of the school population after that. Not to mention, his parents would constantly be called to the school during his own freshman year due to seniors picking on him. This troper never liked him. Not a bit.

quote:

During a science lab exam I was paired with two competent people and a very idiotic, bitchy girl. I insulted her, kept telling her she was useless and threatened to get her kicked out of the group. After telling the teacher how useless she was being, the teacher did kick her out, and when she found out she'd do the entire exam by herself, she started crying in front of the class. I laughed at her and felt very, very good about it.

quote:

There's no page for Rape The Dog or Moral Event Horizon but that is where this story goes. This Troper knows someone who got another student suspended for over a month, almost expelled, placed in a class for "disturbed" students, to attempt suicide twice, sent to a mental institution and cost the parents a massive amount of money for a lawyer and therapy. For the record, this Troper HATES that rear end in a top hat.

Okay, seriously. The gently caress is up with this page? Doesn't anyone have the decency to pretend that... not them did this stuff? Now I feel bad about being on the same site as some of you people, really. I'm looking at you, first troper on this page. And Ear-biter, too. And Jefepato. Dicks.
This troper was feeling about the same thing. I know Troper Tales lends itself to honesty and all, but... seriously. (The closest thing this troper has done to Kick the Dog status is glue all the buttons in the button box together and say some mind-blowingly dumb stuff here on TV Tropes.)
First troper on the page here...Is it another worthy entry for this page that I felt a brief moment of perverse pride that you singled me out first for my dog-kicking example? Then again, I guess that's why I'm True Neutral, rather than Neutral Good...
Does make me feel a little better about myself that my own example is non-deliberate on my part (can't vouch for the cat's intentions).
If the idea of reading about your fellow tropers being jerks offends you, I don't know why you ever opened this page to begin with. What did you expect?
Everyone makes mistakes. Fact of life. Some mistakes are crueler than others. And they might make for interesting tales - that's what this page is for. Being proud of those mistakes and flaunting how much of a douchebag you are? Not cool.
Why no mention of what I did? I did callous things and unlike some of the tropers here I enjoyed it. /jealousy.

My family are almost all Trump supporters and my response to all their "HEE HAW LOOKIT WE WON!" poo poo has been to calmly tell them congratulations and let them know how much I look forward to telling them I told you so over, and over, and over again for the next four years when he inevitably betrays literally everything he said to get elected.

In my Christmas presents to all of them I made a little packet of printed-out news stories about how, "Well, there's lots of different things that could be considered a 'wall' you see" and "Drain the swamp was just a cutesy slogan, we never really had any intent of doing that," etc. and put them inside my unique Christmas card: a folded picture of Steven Mnuchin with "Merry Christmas from the Political Outsiders!" in gold glitter. I think they all really enjoyed these, especially when they discovered the packet included some cardboard coasters I made with Vladimir Putin's picture glued on them. 

Merry Christmas! I got you a future of crushing disappointment and lower living standards! Probably some incredibly expensive and deadly military adventurism, too! Oh, wait, you bought that one for yourself. Well, I just wanted to remind you of what it said on the packaging. Go on, open it up! See how what's inside compares.

I can't wait for Easter. Oh, poo poo, Valentine's Day too! I can see it now, cards with a Trump cherub on the front saying, "You know what I love most?" and on the inside a picture of a bunch of laughing .1%ers lighting cigars with money under the phrase, "Gullible people who don't like to think!"

On TVTropes are these people making up these stories in order to claim that their lives are like shows or movies (or different tropes)?

In my mind I changed eyes of indeterminate colour to anus of indeterminate colour and it improved the story quite a bit.

So, what did you do NOW to piss someone off?
