Today I heard the phrase なんてことしてくれた, as in:

> 君！なんてことしてくれたんだ！

which I learned means "[Look what you've
done](http://english.mag2.com/marvin/beginner_37.html)". I thought くれる was
only used when someone does something nice for you. Is this just a set phrase,
where くれる is being used sarcastically, or are there other times you can use
くれる when someone does something you don't like?

question
usage words perspective
Using くれる for doing something bad
Speaking from personal experience, I do hear the ~くれる form used this way all
the time in video games and such, and it seems to me that it does carry a kind
of sarcasm(the Japanese kind :D).

I mostly hear やってくれたな! when the opponent does something to the person, but I
seldom hear it used this way on any word besides する and やる, so I'd assume
yours is a good bet.
