20 Creative Ways Peoples’ Siblings Terrorized Them

Children are psychopaths. You’re all too aware of this if you’ve ever worked with children, had children or been a child, and that encompasses just about everybody, so it’s as close to a universal truth as we get. Behavior that would absolutely land an adult in prison is just brushed off coming from a rosy-cheeked fourth-grader, and nowhere is that more terrifyingly apparent than when it comes to their usually younger siblings.

For example, “When I was a kid, my older sister told me I had a metal plate in my head and she would lock me out of the house during lightning storms,” user Linsatiable told r/AskReddit. “Another gem of hers was telling me I was too light to ride on elevators (and would) get thrown all around, (so) my best bet was to lay flat on the floor and close my eyes. She would then push the basement or top floor button and then the ‘close doors’ button and then she would hop off.”

Clearly, they’ve been so deeply tormented that they needed to commiserate with others. As such, they got plenty of alarming responses when they asked, “How did your siblings torture you, Reddit?”
