My ex-bf from sometime back (we were together for 4 years) once did something which always comes back to me (whenever I see my eye in the mirror with a small scar above it!). We were volunteering supporting a youth pentathlon and my then bf was in charge of the shooting. I had never shot even an air rifle. He was a policeman and trained. He got me to demonstrate what they had to do, and instructed me to push my eye right up to the scope when I pulled the trigger. I obeyed and as he expected the gun (only an air rifle thing to be fair) had a kick back which knocked me right in the eye. He was pissing himself with laughter trying to tell the kids that was a great demonstration of what not to do, whilst the scope had cut part of my eye and I had put my hand to hide the blood and walked away pretending to laugh and burst into tears as soon as out of sight. I was left with a horrid black eye and all he could say was 'well that was bloody stupid wasn't it!' We split up shortly after! It happened over ten years ago but still to this day really sticks with me.
AIBU?
Are there some things silly, nasty things that happened where you just can't forgive the other person and/or they just really stick with you?

orchid that's hilarious - especially as she sent the letter then left the country!!
seriously though - she was probably jealous of your un-Christian fab dress sense (are you even religious?)
And OP - I'm not surprised the thought of that prick of an ex of yours still makes ur blood boil - what he did was cruel and humiliating and it left u with a friggin scar! He's obviously some kind of sadist freak.
(could u send him an old kipper through the post? They say revenge is a dish best served cold. I know it's petty but it might make u feel better)
Wow gogo that beats mine hands down, no wonder you're no longer in contact! That's horrific!
Izard that's awful!! 
When my dear Granny was dying, I made her lots of little portions of shepherd's pie to defrost when she felt well enough to eat something home cooked.
She told me they were delicious (I'm not the world's most confident cook but several people have said good things about my shepherd's pie)and that she'd felt cared for which made me feel I had done something small to help and show her I loved her at a difficult time.
A few years later while remembering that time my stepdad said she'd not really meant it.
I don't know why he said it but I felt ridiculously upset and of course she was now dead. We've not fallen out and he'd not even remember saying it or have any idea he'd upset me, but I still think why say that?
He does like to piss on people's chips

A few years ago, someone put some negative comments on Facebook, reporting that someone had criticised a recent event. One of my bf thought she was talking about me, and it could have caused real problems between me and bf, as she was involved in organising the event. I hadn't said anything.
At the time, I was undergoing treatment for a serious health condition. Nearly five years on, I'm fine health wise (as far as I know), but that comment still narks me (and winds me up when I think about it).
I do sometimes wonder whether she said something because she was jealous of my condition, not obviously the illness, bit the attention it was giving me.
Some of the stories are horrible and 
to everyone.
