I could give you a good one from real life - the single meanest thing anyone ever did to me when I was an adult, out of sheer unmotivated malevolence as far as I could tell. But only if you want.
The most realistic fictional depictions of people doing stuff solely to hurt someone else, and not because they're cardboard sadistic villains, are in mainstream children's books, and depict the horrible things kids do to each other for no apparent reason other than that they can. I'm thinking particularly of the scene with the chocolate in Judy Blume's Blubber.
