Grudges you continue to hold

[OneFrenchEgg]

Just drive a different way home, past a car wash and remembered how I refuse to use it on principle 😂
Years ago, I was in a hurry and no one in front - as I drove in, and was being 'washed' by one of the chaps, the one in charge allowed someone to jump the queue as they were 'in a hurry' and 'just wanted a spritz' - nope, they reversed all the way back, had everything, and I sat fuming at the the queue jumpy enablement.
Refuse to go back, I'm sure they are disappointed 😂

The Mums of sarah & Emily. 1986. My primary school.

I was picked for a big part in the school play. I missed one rehearsal so they complained it was unfair on their children (Sarah was the back up, Emily was her back up). They also loudly complained, in earshot of all of my class, that I smelled.

it was well known I missed school that day as I had concussion. Everyone knew I was an abused child. The teacher gave in to the pressure and I lost my part.

I really do hope you meant orange hued and not, Orangutan which does shift the meaning somewhat...

Appalling.

Oooooohhh.. does it involve maggots through the letterbox?

Just remembered my lovely mum held a grudge, until the day she died, against “vinegar tits” the woman in the local shop who was rude to her once. None of us ever went back into that shop in support.
I miss my mum.

my main grudge is against a local pharmacy.
I was prescribed a medication by my GP and on my way to the pharmacy to pick it up (a bit of a walk) I’d googled it and discovered a side effect which I was concerned about in case it might exacerbate an existing condition. I asked to speak to the pharmacist for some advice/reassurance on this and she refused to speak to me instead I got a loud shouty “we can’t give you anything other than what the dr prescribed” when I had not mentioned wanting a different medication I just wanted to ask a question, as I was worried about a side effect (also I am not stupid..). I’ve never been back there, I go to another pharmacy further away where the counter staff and pharmacists are actually helpful.

In the end with this one I clogged up more of my GPs time for something the pharmacist could have reassured me with in the space of 2min of her time. fortunately my GP is a lovely woman and was very understanding.

My mum is the master of holding grudges , and being irrational about the subject of the grudge, she still refers to this pharmacist as a “glorified drug dealer” which makes me laugh every time I think of it

My husband had that happen in a local shop. We also got the money back but nearly 20 years later he won't go in that shop or another shop owned by the same guy.

Did admin temping way back, processing invoices. Two colleagues in a tiny rural office. Walked to the shops one lunch time and colleague wanted a magazine but didn't have cash so I lent her £2.75.

Then she was away for a couple of days, there was something on the invoices I didn't understand so I did my best and left the rest. She came back, told the boss I was crap and I was told not to come back.

The not coming back bit was maybe justified but I'm still kicking myself for asking for my £2.75 back!

The RAC.
I broke down in the middle of the A68.
I am disabled. My son was 3. My baby was 8 weeks old. 1st trip out after csection

I was told I was 'too close to home for rescue & recovery, you can get out & walk'. I explained I use crutches, had a 3 year old (asd though I didn't know at the time, but he was a bolter) & a baby in a heavy car seat. I could not walk, & that was why I had their Gold standard rescue & recovery ANYWHERE policy at great expense. They would NOT have it. I had to wait to be towed by a local co whilst huge lorries whammed past. In tears when I got home I called them to cancel my policy. They charged me a £70 cancellation fee. Utter utter Bastards.

I had a vile neighbour renting next door for 6 months. I have always had lovely neighbours and everyone helps everyone and is friendly.
I wasnt that interested in being friends but i said hello and offered tea the day they were moving in... it was freezing. The man stared me down like i was a piece of shit and didnt reply. The months after he would bang on the walls constantly and throw rubbish over our back wall.
They had two cars and one parking space (terrace) i have 3 parking spaces and always let the neighbours use them/park opposite if they get there first but given the size its never really an issue. He slways parked diagnally rendering all my spaces unusuable.
He shouted at the kids and would stand on his step staring me down when we were getting into the car. My male friend eventually went round and basically asked him what the issue was, he slammed the door in his face. Another neighbour said he had been asking to use thier large garden as he didnt have one and given they have 4 young children and dont know this man they refused. He was vile back to them, then blanked them.
Unbenowned to horrible man my friend was his lamdlord and told him to move out cos he was vile. So we knew the day he was moving.
Me and other nice neighbour, who owns a building company just so happened to agree to fill the road with our cars and multiple work vans and be 'unavailable' to open the door the day he was moving.
I watched as he had to carry his stuff accross the close alone to a van he had hired, making it much more difficult. It was great.
Before he moved out i would often flick the vs at his house just sat watching TV because I could ha.

MIL said she’d look after my bridesmaids and flower girl dresses as she could put them in the spare room, she bloody took the flower girl dress back and chose a different one! And then I was made out to be the bad one because I made her cry, why was she crying??? I will never forgive her and I’m not overly friendly now either which is a shame because we got on ok before this dress incident 10years ago.

My DM couldn’t visit my 7 month old DD in hospital after open heart surgery because she needed to do her washing. I can’t let that one go.

Also an old head I used to work for. I can’t even think about her without getting angry. She was such a bitch, I’ve never forgiven her.

My chemistry teacher- asked a group of us what A levels we wanted to do and when I chipped in, said "oh no, Harriet - you'll still be doing your resits."

The fact I went to Oxbridge and he got sacked a couple of years ago for watching school girl porn AT SCHOOL ON A SCHOOL LAPTOP gives me no pleasure at all 😆😆😆

Ps I'm nearer 50 than 40 😆🙈

@Crazyshihtzulady - I think you might be on the wrong thread 🙄

@Lulu2171

"NCT for being a spineless bunch of cunts during the pandemic. "

Blimey, intrigued, - what did they do...or not?

My RAC grudge is now 16 years old.
But my current one is in process.
I recently visited a small UK island as part of a religious retreat.
I've been there before.
On this island is a small shop which sells religious items.
I have purchased things there before.
This time I saw a book I thought a friend might like. I leafed through it very carefully (a sign above the shelf said: 'if you break the spine consider it sold'.
I decided I would text friend to ask if she already had it as it was £25.
I waited patiently for the shop assistant to stop gossiping with her friend (it had already been 10 mins & counting). I stood there, on my crutches, for another 5 mins whilst she studiously ignored me & talked about what Sean had done at the pub & what Seans wife was going to do about it. So, I got out my phone & took a snap of the front of the book so I could text it to friend & buy it if she said yes. Assistant shouted at me: 'we dont' allow that' I explained. She replied.
'We don't allow it, unless you ask. Nicely. And you didn't'. Real venom.
I left. I came home & ordered it from amazon for £13.99 instead.
Mind you, it hasn't arrived yet

Omg what a horror.

So so many…

the lowest ebb in my life, working for an interiors store nights and weekends as we were so skint… did every hour they asked me to… and the women were absolutely foul to me.

one day, one of them called me demanding I come in an hour earlier, they were desperate. She sounded quite lovely, I should have realised something was up. Dumped the kids to my parents, threw on a dress did my makeup… got there and was handed a mop. Go and clean the bathroom. Fucking pig of a woman.

a million years later, I’m in the front office at a school… who comes in to enrol her children. Both awfully behaved little shits, always in trouble. Have to call her ALL the time to come and collect one or the other.
husband has bailed.

every single time I see her, the word yuk is muttered under my breath. It’s like an uncontrollable tic.

Lighthearted grudge which makes me look stupid - for many years I refused to drive on a new bypass. I still drove down the old A road - not because the village didn't need the bypass but a) because it had cut off the old gymkhana field where many happy summers were spent and b) because planning had only got through once a man who lived on the A road (in a massive house with a 1/4 mile drive!) became a councillor, just to get the planning through. I realised after 5 years it was a total waste of my time and energy as the bypass was SO busy! Said councillor only stayed for a couple of months after he got the planning sorted but was murdered 7 years later - turns out he was a nasty piece of work and had pissed too many other nasties off!

My other big grudge is to my partners ex-boss who treated him so horribly during the Covid years that partner had a breakdown resulting in his sudden death last November. Every time I drive past where he used to work I have an overwhelming urge to throw eggs or dog muck at the premises. I hear the business isn't doing as well these days but wish the ex-boss and his wife loads of bad luck and curse them most days.

I am pushing 50 and am still enraged by my "best friend" we were primary school best friends from like 7-12, I told her a secret about my family and she turned the whole school and class against me! It was an awful year and a few years after, I found a new friendship group but I will always hate her, I am still friends with her on Facebook but never like her posts and was very satisfied that she got divorced with her 4 kids with stupid names, still hate her

JoJo Maman Bebe for their ridiculous policy during the pandemic of keeping their doors locked so you had to knock to be let into the shop then once in they locked the door behind you as you shopped. I know Covid was around but other shops managed to not be so ridiculously OTT. I told them I wasn't comfortable being locked in the shop and what if there was a fire or an emergency and the easiest exit had been locked by them. They just shrugged and said it was their policy. Fine, it's my policy never to shop there again.

My one is very minor, but 40 years later I still hold a grudge!

When I was about 8, I got given a gorgeous eraser (at the time, girls in school used to collect them - smelly ones, fancy ones, etc). I never had any, so was thrilled with my lovely eraser. I wrote my name on it.

Then a girl in my class, Joanne B, stole my eraser, and said it was hers! When I pointed out it had my name written on it, she said it belonged to her sister (who has the same name as me). I just stole it back. Then Joanne B had the cheek to complain to the teacher I had stolen her eraser! Luckily the teacher saw it was my name, in my handwriting on it.

To this day, every time I pass Joanne B's house, all I can think of is this! 😂

BREXIT

Just unfriend her on Facebook! Why should she see what you're up to? Delete and feel delighted doing so. It's very freeing 🤣

When I was 11 (almost 20 years ago) a boy in my class threw some blu tac at me and it landed in my ear and was a nightmare to get out. I regularly see him out and about and in the pubs and still glare at him 🤣
