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 😂

ARgos we tried to take a faulty student light back, which was not rigid, they asked for it to be fixed before we took it back!
never been back to ARgos,

PIL. For many infractions, bullying and insults over the years. But more recently for having a go at my (then 9yo) anxiety-ridden, selective mute, pre-diagnosis of something neurological speech related from their side of the family DD2. Because she was anxiety-ridden and selectively mute, which was apparently 'rude'.

They've lost both of my DDs now. Neither feel the need to have this set of grandparents in their lives. I was already NC, and DH is so LC he's practically NC now.

We won't be getting over this. We've tried before and all it does is reinforce that they can get away with poor behaviour.

I do have others, but I did give up my childhood bully one last week. It's been over 30 years so I decided to let it go. Use the energy for new ones!

Still won't shop in Tescos because of Shirley Porter (Tescos heiress) 'homes for votes' scandal. I'm sure they're missed my money 😂

"In December 2001 the House of Lords ordered Dame Shirley to pay a surcharge of £27m for her part in the Westminster council homes for votes scandal of the 1980s. The law lords said the former council leader's "corrupt" attempts to gain political support by selling off council homes in marginal wards to potential Tory voters was "a deliberate, blatant and dishonest misuse of public power".

A garage, i broke down, bought oil, still broken down, called AA, asked if i could use the loo
they said No, and pointed in the direction of the pub opposite!
i didnt know the pub was open, but i do glare every time i drive by

I can understand why you’d want to avoid but to give you the other side..

I am so terrified of getting a test purchase wrong and losing my job that I err on the side of caution.

So do I.

It's like Mary Poppins' carpet bag - it can hold grudges much bigger than it is - and lots of them, too.

I find it's as light at a feather and carrying it is a labour of love.

And there is always room for one more . . .

I still hold a grudge against the woman who made a fraudulent claim when I slightly clipped the wheel arch of her car, as I pulled in to kerb, at about 5mph. (Outside a school, can any car travel faster than 5mph outside a school in the morning?) There was hardly any damage. I didn’t even bother to get the ‘scuff’ on my car repaired. We looked at each others’ car, had an 10 min chat and I gave my details (as I was to blame and happy for my insurance to repair her scuff). Next I hear (head of school was a friend), she’d gone into school after our chat, screaming hysterically and ‘collapsed’. An ambulance was even called. She then claimed whiplash for herself and 4 passengers. (There were only 2 children in car. A third was stood next to car, as witnessed by my dc.)
Few weeks later my insurance asked for photos as felt it was fraudulent claim. ‘Haven’t bothered to have scuff repaired, come and see!’ Engineer agreed that it was definitely fraudulent claim but insurance company decided to pay up rather than go to court. I was furious particularly when I heard that she got £2k each for her and 4 passengers and even more so when I was told that this was 3rd time she’d done it and bragged each time that money would pay for another holiday.
Get really annoyed when current TV programme goes on about how insurance company’s always prosecute fraudulent claims. No, they don’t.
It was over 10 yrs ago and still pisses me off.

The firm of solicitors I worked with before having children. Before DC1 the senior partner agreed to me returning part time. When I went in after the birth he swore he’d said no such thing.

I would love to tell you because he was a truly vile human being. I take pleasure knowing that he can no longer afford Michelin starred restaurants, his subsequent business partners ran for the hills once they realised what he was like, and his children choose to live in other countries.

This seems like justified homicide. Jk. Wow, she would never be allowed back in my house after that.

I just had hip replacement surgery. A now ex-friend tried to talk me out of having the surgery, then insisted if I went through with it, I should go to a rehab facility and let her stay at my house to take care of my dogs. I was a hard hell no on that one.

This was in response to the mother in law that destroyed everything while the lady and baby were in the hospital.

PIL. Who paid for all SIL wedding whilst DH got nothing.
Who gave her a £10k house deposit whilst DH got nothing.
It sounds mercenary, but thirty years on and I will never forget or forgive them for treating him less favourably. There are other examples.

Have to jump in on this as it’s also my opportunity to bad mouth Quickfit. Had my car serviced and MOT’d by main dealer. All passed but advisory on 1 front brake pads being replaced. Took it to quick fit and they told me all brake pads and discs needed replacing and would cost £900. I didn’t have £900 but they wouldn’t let me take my car as they said it wasn’t road worthy. I had to get my dad to come to the garage with the MOT paperwork and they let me take the car. Ended up paying £30 for the work that really needed doing. Will never, ever use the robbing b***ds again

I never normally hold a grudge but I will for a so called ‘family member’ of dhs that treated him terribly up until the day he died. And I will never forgive them for it.

A girl i went to school with she wrote my name in tippex on toilet wall followed by “is a slag” now owns a pub by me! No fkn way is she getting a penny of my money….was 20 years ago but the grudge is still there!

Ndn who parked on our driveway without asking so that he could have a bouncy castle on his own

There is a man who is head of a martial arts body against whom I hold a deep and endless grudge, because he is a patronising, bullying liar, who accused me of disrespect (a big deal to me) and humiliated me repeatedly and deliberately in front of junior students.

One day I hope I get to spar him and kick him where it would hurt the most 😁

Oddly enough I've had similar, but she went to the surgery I was registered at and got someone to look up my entire history.

I could not prove it though so I had to drop the issue.

Were her initials G T ?

OMG. Sounds like it would make a good film or tv series. Horrible man. Glad you’re out of it and that he got his comeuppance. 🌺

The garage up the road for sending me spam addressed to ‘Mrs Teapot’. I have a foreign name that often gets misspelt and mispronounced, and it doesn’t really bother me, but for some reason that really pissed me off and I never used them again.

My neighbour 4 doors down. 15 years ago I came downstairs one morning to find a few chickens in my garden. So being the good human I am, I didn’t let my giant Labrador puppy into the garden to chase them, I kept her in. The dog of course goes nuts because that’s her routine and she can see chickens!

About an hour goes past and no sign of anyone coming to claim the chickens. As I’m making breakfast for my 5 years old, trying to get all her school bits together and having a giant puppy bouncing off the walls. I have a knock at the door.

It’s a young lad of about 15 with a cat carrier asking if I’ve seen any chickens. So I say yes and open the side gate for him to come and get them. He shouts over to his Mum who’s next door asking and tell her that they are at mine.

She comes flying round screaming at me that I’ve stolen her chickens, she’s sobbing and hysterical. She stands and screams at me some more that I am a chicken thief. The poor kid looks mortified at his mother, he runs in the garden, grabs the chickens and then his mother, apologising her while he drags her off. She was still screaming at me. I think she told most of the neighbourhood I was a chicken rustler 😂

I saw her pop up today on the neighbourhood whatsapp asking a question I knew the answer to. And I still thought ‘not today crazy chicken bitch’. I am holding that grudge FOREVER!

Usually give people two chances but usually that's it. My once favoured butcher, who I used to speak highly of, I boycott after a 2nd/3rd incident....
1st&2nd incident nice owner working 70+ starts having memory problems makes a little mistake then a week later very little resembled what I asked for (went down was sorted).
3rd incident, son now took over...ordered 2 sausage rolls & 2 meat&onion pasties...rolls bunt pasties not cooked (had bite out). Went down ... assistant spot on and was just going to swap them when new owner (son) walks in and takes over giving me some guff about the meat only looking raw as it's next to the onion (😡I didn't bother telling him I used to work in a butchers and it's complete bs) I pushed for money back and vowed never to return..... surprise surprise I got food poisoning.....
Learned a weird life lesson from GP if you think you have food poisoning don't take medication as if you do (imodium) you can't easily be tested....
Still not been in but dissatisfied customers must be growing as they used to supply most little shops in the area

Can you tell I'm over it 👀🙄🙄🙄

Yep, I think I've worked with this bloody woman as well !

Not mine but my mother. She bitterly hated one of the (two) shopkeepers in our village. Said this woman cut her bacon too thin in 1976. She actually said the word bitch as this Womans coffin passed through our village two years ago.

My mother held grudges for decades. She accumulated them and chewed on them, like a cud. She still used to bang on about a boy called Peter Upson who, she claimed had been cruel to her at junior school, in the early Thirties.

My D.C. have been subjected to this, DS once, DD twice. I’d like to think they both, if it happened again, would go round the car with their phone filming the driver, cars, and inside the vehicles. Scummy bastards.
