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 😂

When my first born was 8 weeks, I was in the throes of really bad PND and hadn't spoke to another adult other than DH for weeks. Had no friends who had a baby, I was the first in my friendship group.
I was at baby clinic to get him weighed, and was undressing him on one of the baby mats they had. Another woman was undressing her baby and I said hello to her, asked her how old her baby was and turned out he was a day older than mine. I said something along the lines of them maybe being friends at school, nothing intrusive or crazy. She whipped that baby up so quickly and glared at me like I'd insulted her whole family. made me feel absolutely crap about myself for weeks.
20 years on I see her every now and again walking in the street and takes me right back there. She's my unknowing arch nemesis. And yes, I do know she may have had PND as well.

MIL basically caused me to miscarry in January. It was my third IVF pregnancy, my second miscarriage.

She knew that I was going through IVF, knew I needed to stay calm, but she still had to cause massive problems, arguments and stress with her histrionics and nastiness.

She has also done her best to wreck my marriage and ruined my first two months with my daughter with her meddling and overbearing behaviour.

She got Covid right before Easter. I'm genuinely disappointed she is getting better.

My FIL, about 6 hours after a traumatic twin birth, both in NICU and one twin needing surgery, looked at my stomach and said, are you sure there isn’t a third in there? I have not yet forgiven him!

WickedWitchOfTheEast87 · 19/04/2023 21:33

@Ourladycheesusedatum No her initials weren't GT so don't think its the same person whats more worrying is how people like that do these things with no consequences for their behaviour! I could fill this thread up with my ex boss's horrible behaviour its that bad and shocking its unbelievable and the job involved working with children, honestly ex boss could have beat Meryl Streep at the Oscars she could switch from nasty to nice and pleasant in an instant I used to think I was imagining it but I knew she was well aware of what she was doing to me because she let slip to the one colleague who she didn't turn against me that she wanted me gone along with other things she said and did. I hope there's a special place in hell reserved for her

Oliver Bonas. A while back they had a social media post featuring a ‘blue’ coloured dachshund, which are unethical to breed due to a ton of health issues causing them to suffer. Lots of people commented to point it out but they didn’t ever respond or take it down. Just ignored everyone. So long as it helps sell their products, who cares eh?

Might not bother some people but as a dachshund owner (and dog lover) it really bothered me and I’ve refused to shop there since, even when I’ve seen things I liked.

AfingeroffudgeisNOTenough · 19/04/2023 21:36

Macmillan here too. When DH was going through treatment the Macmillan nurse was completely dismissive of anything I said. She’d been patronising and dismissive from our very first appointment but she crossed a line when DH was in hospital as an inpatient and she tried to push a feeding tube onto him. He wanted to avoid one of at all possible, and that had been discussed prior to treatment starting and he’d asked me to stand up for him if he was struggling to do it himself. All other medical professionals said he didn’t need one (oncologist, speech therapist, dietician, ward nurses etc) and were really positive, but Macmillan woman was 100% negative and literally snarled that she knew best. We stood firm and he avoided the tube (which then helped him recover much quicker) but she made every step of our journey even more difficult than it already was. I will never forgive her and I will never give a penny (or a cake) to that bloody charity.

also - Scotland. Yes, the whole country. I lived there for a quarter of a century - graduated, got married and had all my children there. My grudge is based on a number of people who treated us badly, and they were all proud Scots, as well as an education system that completely let my DC down. As a result I hate the entire country and never want to set foot there again.

oh, and the shitty 16yr old boy who told lies about me 30 years ago. I know it was literally a lifetime ago, and likely no-one else even remembers - but if I ever saw him I would turn my face away - I couldn’t even look at him.

NEUserNamesNotTakenJeez · 19/04/2023 21:36

Hannah, when we were in year 7. I lent her 20p as she told my friend group she was short for her dinner money. She said she'd give it back to me the next day. The next day, I ask for it and she loudly said infront of the class, 'OMG, you're asking for 20p back? It's ONLY 20p!'. She didn't give it back.

She's from a well off family. I grew up poor and that 20p was going towards my dinner for that day. Bitch.

AnneElliott · 19/04/2023 21:37

An ex line manager. Horrible man. I would honestly push him under a train if I could get away with it! I made sure he was told when I got promoted to the grade above him. I understand he was very annoyed about that

BT and Santander for awful customer service.

Their customer service is actually really good!

Free delivery for members (no minimum spend).

And emails to customer service get answered on the same day!

That might be so now (it was a very long time ago after all) but I’m still too scarred!

She was such a snotty cow 😂 “Well our usual customers are used to wearing a better quality shoe than you are” as I complained their leather had started to peel after two days of use.

General wear and tear my arse.

God. I feel better for getting that off my chest.

I understand your pharmacy grudge but if there's only one pharmacist on duty and it's their break they are not allowed to sell you anything. However they could have explained it! I only know this because my sister worked in a pharmacy - I've always (and still do) thought this is ludicrous!

Show quote history

Lol yep ridiculous but they are not insured during those hours. Ie. If anything goes wrong and it happened during ‘lunch break’ they don’t have a leg to stand on as they shouldn’t have been serving anyway

MrsLighthouse · 19/04/2023 21:42

When the clothes shop Peacocks went into administration in 2012 and a £50 gift card l had was rendered invalid .. Only to be rescued and keep some shops open to continue trading - no turnaround on the gift card . So long ago and l’m still cross…

Stressedafff · 19/04/2023 21:44

A complete slimeball pervert of a male teacher screaming in my face because I dared put an earring in after school hours whilst still on school grounds. Alas the popular pretty girls had piercings on their face and tattoos, he didn’t notice them. But myself and others failed maths through him being a total nonce, instead of teaching us and giving individual help he’d spend the full lesson talking to said pretty popular girls. I wish I could go back to that day I’d spit in his face and tell him exactly what I thought of gim

Snazzysausage · 19/04/2023 21:46

I may mutter"fucking arseholeing cunty chops wanker" towards my neighbours house when I go up and down my drive. I also might wave my middle finger about a bit at the same time.A few years ago he called the police out to me on a Sunday afternoon after I asked him to stop leaving his car across our drive end and blocking us in. It did backfire on him though as he got told not to park over our drive again and stop wasting police time. The officer said as he left "I can see where the problem is and it isn't round here"

I have a lifelong grudge against Chris Tarrant

When I was a kid, about 10 year old., TISWAS was the big thing. We all loved it and dreamed of being on the show

One weekend my mom took me and my sister to the Ideal Home Show at Birminghams NEC. TISWAS had a stall and manning the stall was Chris Tarrant himself., After chatting to him for a while, he invited me and my sister on the show. Took our details and promised to contact us. It was the most exciting day of my young life. I Was going to be on the telly, on TISWAS !!

So, following monday we told all our friends at school, we are going to be on TISWAS., Just had to wait for that invitation

and we waited
and waited
and waited

And no invitation came.

Of course, all our friends at school laughed at us, called us liars, said we made the story up. I was heartbroken. Chris Tarrant had betrayed me, broken my ten year old heart

To this day, I have never forgiven him and refuse to watch him if he is on telly.

Curses to you Chris Tarrant, you monster.

I agree he isn't a nice man.

I was in the audience of my godfather's appearance on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire (he was the first £500k winner).

My dad was one of the phone a friends, hence my invitation to be in the audience. It was 1999 so I was young and 18, and loved every minute of being a TV star (for some reason, the camera crew loved me and another girl who was the daughter of another phone a friend), and I had a brilliant time.

After my godfather had successfully finished his winning show, Chris Tarrant was chatting to some of the other contestants etc after. My mum and I waited to ask a crew member if we could chat to Chris and get his autograph. Being young and starstruck, this was very exciting but he showed just what an arrogant arse he was by refusing to see us. I did get a personal signed autograph eventually but I hated how arrogant and awful he was that night. I've always held a grudge against him for that, even now 20 odd years later 😳🤣

LadyWhistledownsPen · 19/04/2023 21:54

My mum for never letting me have anything My Little Pony related as she didn't like them. I still mention how aggrieved I am every Christmas and birthday, I'm now 40 🤣

MrsJackRackham · 19/04/2023 21:56

I know a man who has never set foot in a Wm Hill bookies since they paid out a draw for England v Argentina 1-2 hand of God game. The pub I work in has a Wm Hill next door. He walks past it and a quarter of a mile to the nearest Ladbrokes for a bet.

RudsyFarmer · 19/04/2023 22:06

I’m living for this thread. I am a petty, bitter bitch so I have them all stacked up on my shit list for ever.

Latenightreader · 19/04/2023 22:09

In the 1970s Nicholas Parsons was really rude and patronising to my Mum who was in her late 20s but looked younger. We had to turn off the radio whenever Just a Minute came on for 40something years (still would if it ever came on 4extra).

This is outing to anyone who knows me as I have complained loudly to all who will listen.

NDN, older man and his wife who drive 2 x cars + 1 x motorcycle between them. Their house is on the corner, they have an off road parking spot, a driveway and a garage. It's a busy residential road with not enough parking on street for all the residents who don't have those things, of whom we are one. This man parks his car religiously outside our house rather than in one of his three available places. He probably drives it once per fortnight. The rest of the time, it sits there, allowing his wife to use the parking space and the driveway to be free for him to ride his motorcycle down. If, by some miracle, we return home when he has taken the car somewhere and manage to park outside out own house, he will (I exaggerate not) wait by his curtains until we leave, then nip out and move his car into the space outside our house.

He once took the car on holiday - in order to be sure of access to "his" space upon his return, he had a family member park a work van there for the duration. On one memorable occasion, we had managed to park there before realising our ancient car was in need of repairs of some kind. It was a few weeks before we could sort them. He was on his driveway every morning at the time he knows my partner leaves for work, pretending to have something else to do. He actually refused to move the car even for our removal truck the day we moved in - at the time, I shrugged it off but I should have seen it of a sign of the crazy to come.

Anyway, after enduring this for some years when our children were at their youngest with all that that entails, we got our own driveway. He wasn't in to move his car when the digger turned up, but they just drove around him and cracked on anyway. His face upon his return was worth every penny of the £4k that we paid. Regardless, I will hold a grudge until he dies or moves for the hugely unnecessary struggle he inflicted upon us daily. And little does he know, I have been exacting my revenge in petty but satisfying ways ever since.

I would have loved to have seen his face. Did it go through the seven stages of grief? Well worth four grand, I agree!

NatWestPigFamily · 19/04/2023 22:13

I hold a grudge against the apparently “secure” dementia unit care home owner where my uncle was treated badly. They purposely broke the remote to his tv because they didn’t want him to have it and also didn’t supervise him to the point that he went AWOL on two occasions which ended up in tv and radio alerts and police searches and subsequent admissions to hospital due to injuries. They then argued against us when we were trying to arrange a different care home for him which delayed discharge. I drive past this care home almost daily and always flip them the finger. Sorry for the long rant, makes my blood boil.

Padstow58 · 19/04/2023 22:17

Two people. One person who deliberately bullied and made my lovely late mum's life very difficult around the time my mum received her terminal cancer diagnosis. This person knew about the diagnosis and was vile to her numerous times anyway.

If I saw this person walking along the road while I was driving, I'd find it difficult not to swerve into her and run her over.

The second person was my best friend when I was 16 and she slept with my boyfriend at the time. It went on for several weeks and everyone knew about it except me.

When I found out, I never spoke to either of them again. I hold a grudge against her the most because she was my friend. I couldn't have cared less about the boyfriend. If I saw her in the street, although 35 years have passed, I would still ignore her. But I wouldn't run her over.

Im Scottish and I can't stand the proud Scots type because that normally means insane hatred of the English. If I don't like you it's not because of a Nationality, it's because you're a prick. My grudge is against a line manager who saw to redundancies and it was blamed as another outgoing managers doing. Said line manager gained a promotion off of others misery.

Here's a corker for you - I have had a long held grudge against Lulu for marrying 'my' Bee Gee and then they bloody divorced. Totally illogical but I was quite young and still can't abide her - funnily enough my kids aren't keen on her either - some sort of projection involved obviously - oh dear. When he died my mother rang as soon as she heard and said 'your bee gees died' 😆

I’m so sorry, but I howled laughing at this “your BeeGee’s died” I am a terrible person.

Warburton’s for supporting BREXIT. DH refuses to buy any of their products. I sometimes forget….
