What are you still salty about?

[Heavenly44]

Salty as in still annoyed by years later

I am still salty about a rumour that was spread about me in primary school 18 years ago

Music lesson in primary school. Not enough instruments to go round so I was told after that song, I would get a go on the triangle...well after the song, the lesson was over and I never got my sodding turn on the triangle. #neverforget

That I didn't get into the school play at primary and I was never sixer in brownies/Guides, only seconder.

I thought I had a friend in college. However someone who didn't like me told her I had been talking about her and she believed them.

That I was never a prefect despite being a good girl who worked hard and was even in the sodding school orchestra! Still bitter.

Oh dear. I have so many drudges against nearly everyone I know.

My mother going back on her 'strong principles' and allowing my brother and his girlfriend to share a bed at her house before they were married after insisting that my fiancé slept in the spare room despite the fact we were (a) engaged and (b) living together. Her shit excuse was that they would go and stay at the GF's mum's house otherwise.

Husband of a friend got drunk and propositioned me. i turned him down and he slagged me off to all and sundry and said I had propositioned him.

12 years ago now and his wife still glares at me and tells everyone I am a slut.

How my SIL caused the only argument DH and I had before our wedding, and how she behaved as my DM was dying/the day she died.

I don't think I'll ever forgive her

I'm not salty about anything. I'm not a packet of crisps. I'm pissed off about several things.

A "friend," purposely not inviting me to a meal out Infront of me apparently it was just close friends only. We stopped speaking shortly after, Still pisses me off !

My dad choosing my degree based on him picking up the tab. Wouldn't let me do chemistry because he said I'd just end up being a teacher, so I did engineering.... and ended up being a teacher (for a while). I often wonder how different a path my life might have gone.

That my primary school teacher laughed and said I had made up the word 'titchy' as a synonym for small. Dammit, I KNEW I was right and he was wrong but he wouldn't have it. Frustrated beyond belief then, and still gives me the rage now, 40 years later. Perhaps it's time to let it go 😀

My mother wanted a photo of all the grandchildren together. My sister was 11 weeks pregnant (ie not showing) and Mum insisted she get in the photo too. So basically it was all Mum’s descendants except me

This was years ago, but I bought my boyfriend at the time a birthday cake. He stayed with his mum so I popped it in the kitchen and nipped upstairs to give him his presents with his nephew. When we came back downstairs his mum was in the living room eating the cake...

Love the expression 'salty' - where is it from?

Fifth year of high school (Y11 now , exam year). A boy called Mark pinched my physics homework and copied it 5 mins before the lesson, and handed in identical homework . I got detention for it, teacher thought I'd copied his. Ironically, 5 years later I graduated in Physics.

That my brother sold my portable stereo to his friend. Apparently it was ok because he chipped in for a new (non portable) one for my birthday. Most likely with the money he got from selling my old one. So I basically paid for my own present
I also needed my portable one as my friends and I used if for dance rehearsal in the church hall.

Brexit. Ask me again in ten years - it will still be Brexit.

Not being picked to be an angel in my infant school nativity play.

Selection was based on who put their hand up when asked "who wants to be an angel?" I shot my hand up in the air, back arched, proper infant school style. My teacher looked me dead in the eye and bypassed me. I ended up being a shitty star, not the one that leads to Bethlehem. Just one that had to stand still with arms stretched, wrapped in tin foil. I'm still fuming at my bitch of a teacher.

English teacher in Y9 refusing to believe that "umber" was a colour (well, natural pigment really but still) and insisting that I meant "amber". The frustration of knowing I was right and being totally unable to convert him still smarts.

That kind of thing really pisses me off @Tempusfudgeit. My friend needed money for something extremely important and wasn’t sure how he was going to get it. I suggested a mortgage holiday. Cue everyone else at the table reacting as if I’d said he should default on his mortgage. Some people can’t believe that there are words and concepts out there that they haven’t heard of yet.

I think 'salty' is an Americanism. Apparently its earlier use was to describe rough-and-ready sailors, and then morphed as language does in order to mean bad tempered.

I'm another whose SiL behaved horribly in the circumstances surrounding the death of my mother. I've not had a relationship with her since. She repeated the same sort of behaviour after I lost our baby and was sick with a uterine infection following the (botched) ERPC. I've never been so ill before or since, but was unwise enough to visit MiL with DH and she happened to be there.

That won't be happening again.

31 years ago I got a D in gcse maths (I did middle paper grades C to E) I sat the higher paper that was the same one on the actual summer exam (grades a to C) in December and got a fucking A... Still pissed off that it doesn't count... I really should let it go, let go.. La la la
Still got a 1st class honours degree that I'm dead proud off... But still......

That my father abandoned me before I was born. I dream that he turns up, unlikely as I'm late 50s, and begs me for a kidney to save his life and I tell him to fuck off and die lol.

That one of my old workplaces had such a toxic culture, it broke my confidence for a while. I still sometimes think of taking some sort of revenge but I guess the best revenge is to show them how successful I became after leaving them. They fucked a lot of people and they should pay somehow.
