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

Aged 5....I was too old to go in the baby class at primary school - and never got to play with the sand, buckets and water.....60 years on, still not let it go 😂

When I was a cciikd we had friends who lived on annold farm in the depths of deepest east anglia. We (4 London kids) hated going there, but we went there for a long weekend several times a year. It was remote to the point of desolate, and we didn't really appreciate the isolation. One trip DBro painted his initials on a high barn wall. We have the same initials. DBro is 9 years older than me and - at that point - about 50 cm taller. He was 17, I was 8. I still got a rollicking for the graffiti/vandalism.

Getting marked down in an exam for using the word 'concomitant' incorrectly.

I used it correctly, it was just that the lecturer obviously didn't know what it meant.

In primary school got accused of letting a stink bomb off in school assembly by the head teacher. It wasn't me. They found out who it was soon after. The injustice of being accused still stinks 40 years later!

That an England chip shop serves their fish with skin still on. As a Scottish fishing village child, that experience equally disgusted and horrified me. It's been about 25 years now and never ate fish again.

A very old friend texted me by accident. She said something angry and hurtful about me, obviously meant for someone else. She was mortified and apologetic about the mistake. I forgave her but I haven’t forgotten.

I was at a circus in Italy when I was 6 and the clowns didn't choose me to come up and take part in a magic trick shakes fist

We went dry slope skiing on a school trip and the ski boots they gave me were too big so I didn’t enjoy it

My partner-his dad promised him a bmx bike for his birthday
He got a skateboard instead as ‘bmx’s are dangerous’
He was 8/9 at the time and is 46 now-he’s never going to let that go

My narc mother screaming in my face that my daughter had stolen and pawned her engagement ring
She found the pawn slip that was signed ‘S surname’
My daughters name does start with an S-but so does my golden child brother (who can do no wrong)
My daughter was 9 at the time-I remember screaming back that ‘she’s 9!they would have broken the law if they’d bought it off her!and she doesn’t even go to the shop by herself-she’s couldn’t have walked into town by herself’
Even tho he admitted years later he’d sold it for drugs
she never backed down,never got the ring back nor even said sorry
She still tells people that my daughter stole and pawned it and my brother tried to take the blame for her

Oh boy can I hold a grudge! School trip to zoo. Mum gave me 2 x 6d (yeah a long time ago). I bought a post card for Mum and one for my Nan. I did not have a pen so did not write on them.

My nemesis (next door's friend's kids - nicknamed the Fatty bullet bonces by us) started whining that he had lost his card. Result? the bloody teacher said as I had two, he could have one! Obvs I had bought both!

I was walking home from school with my best friend, we were doubled over with laughter at something, no idea what now.

The bus from the local special needs school drove past, and the driver rolled her window down and shouted at us 'It's not funny' and was really angry.

She assumed we were laughing at the kids on the bus but we weren't. I still feel sad that it obviously happened often enough that it was her assumption; but I'm indignant about it too!

Dh ate the last piece of Christmas cake this morning.

When went into hospital to have dd my in laws looked after my three year old ds - autistic and speech delayed but quiet and beautifully behaved. They brought him back when we came out - two days later, and I was lying in bed with dd recovering from c-section. Ds was in a terrible mood and tried to hit his new born sister on sight. It was three in the afternoon and this was so unlike him that I thought maybe he's hangry? "what did he have for lunch?" I asked. "Nothing, we didn't have time". "Ok what did he have for breakfast?" "Nothing, he didn't want anything". "WTF?! When did he last eat?!" "Oh he had a few chips last night".

My three year old hadn't eaten a single thing for almost 24 hours and goodness knows when he'd had a proper meal!

I still burn with rage when I think about that and he's 17 now.

That despite getting a 6 figure settlement agreement my silence meant the person got away with it.

Smallgoon. Intriguing...obvs you can't tell or you will have to pay the money back...

A colleague kept pissing off and expected me to cover her work. Then told our manager I wasnt pulling my weight. she was sickly sweet to my face too
