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 woman who every single day parks in the ONLY disabled bay at school without a blue badge meaning I have to park further away and struggle. I assume out of 500+ students there are more disabled parents & children than just me so I’m sure many more share my grudge! I always want to say something but I’m a wimp!

PinkCast · 22/04/2023 10:53

@Psalmbodytolove is there no-one at the school monitoring that? That's awful and I'd have to say something.

Psalmbodytolove · 22/04/2023 11:10

@PinkCast they send the occasional email but it’s a ‘courtesy’ space so not enforceable sadly! I really hate confrontation and for all I know she could be in pain or be waiting to hear about a blue badge etc so I just tell myself she needs the space as much as I do and it makes me feel better!

My daughter. This morning. She came in at 6 am to demand why I wasn't up and to help her find her phone.

She's ten.

Wexone · 22/04/2023 12:40

@Psalmbodytolove that's shocking. surely the police can do something and you can report her ? she has some cheek

My mum still refuses to shop in Sainsbury's as when I was a baby she was told that she would have to leave me/ pram outside
I am 51 Grin

My boss when I worked in Vienna in my early 20s. He tore up every piece of work I did for him and wrote “redo” on it in red pen. He also banned me from taking any leave for an entire year, so I missed by best friend’s wedding. One of my colleagues felt sorry for me on the work side and offered to write the paper for me. He was male, more senior, and couldn’t do a thing wrong. Boss assumed I had done it, and got the same, torn up and “redo” written on it. When his death is announced I’m cracking open the Champagne. It should have been an amazing job in a fabulous city. I left after a year as I couldn’t stand it any longer.

Morrisons. One of their huge trucks bullied me as I crossed a lonely moor in Scotland in a snowstorm with my DC, driving up my arse then finally overtaking so close I ran off the road. I thought we were going to die. I can’t set foot in their stupid green shops.

FancyFran · 22/04/2023 21:00

I have just had my grudge reignited.
My bitch of a sister told my cousin the reason we are non contact is I stole from my late father. She said this at my brothers funeral this week.
I could fucking kill her. The reason I don't speak to her is because she said someone who caused my daughter to try to kill herself was not in the wrong. He was entitled to stalk us because we left his house 'in a state' post a tenancy. What on God's earth logic is that shit. I will hate her forever. I heard this ten minutes ago, what a throughly nasty fucker.

Write a little card and put it under her windscreen wipers?

I can relate! My DMIL rearranged my kitchen cupboards when I had a trip home with my DH. Tip of the iceberg!!!

WoollyRosebud · 23/04/2023 03:14

My sister and her best friend ate my Easter egg. It was plain chocolate with sugar flowers on it. I had nibbled carefully all round the flowers and had the remainder by my bed where I could admire it. They left me some old threepenny bits in place of it. Decimal coinage had come in so they were no longer valid. I was inconsolable. She ran away from home and hid in a local park so our parents were more worried about her than consoling me. I remind my sister every year, it is now over 45 years ago and I still bear a grudge but did learn to always eat ALL my Easter eggs up quickly.

The people at the end of our street who bought the run-down little house that I loved but couldn't afford. It had the most amazing garden, surrounded by trees. They cut down every single tree, razed the entire plot to ground and built a hideous fucking thing that looks like a toilet block. 15 years ago but I do a little out of sight 'v-sign' and mutter 'fuckers' if I see them when I drive past it.

BuntyFayreweather · 23/04/2023 07:13

@Marmite0nToast love it. I hate tree choppers.

Roussette · 23/04/2023 08:18

Morrisons. I bought some prawns in the usual sealed packaging.

They were going in a pasta sauce. I pulled open the film on top and inside was a not small metal nut and bolt! (maybe an inch and a half in length, it was hidden under the label when I put it in my trolley) I immediately didn't touch it anymore, took photos, and drove straight back to Morrisons with it (an 18 mile round trip)

OMG over the next weeks/months they didn't half give me the runaround. I even took to Twitter about it. They sent it off for tests, they wouldn't reply to me when I was politely asking for updates. They gave me back the price of the prawns and £5 for petrol. That was it. As I was about to tip it into a tomato pasta sauce, I could've broken my tooth on it!

When they eventually concluded their investigations, they said they couldn't locate where it came from, and the underlying message about it all, was that I was lying and had planted it there.
I was NOT. I have better things to do with my life.

Won't shop at Morrisons again. They handled the whole thing appallingly.

the PCO’s (I think that’s what they’re called) come out occasionally as there’s bigger parking issues than just this, everyone behaves on these days - including her! And then goes back to normal the next!

Show quote history

That’s a good idea, although if the head teacher has emailed and asked not to park there without a blue badge I can’t see my note doing much sadly :(

beeflin · 23/04/2023 10:12

45 years ago I bought a step-thru motorcycle for £30 while a university student. I also lent the same person £30. He forgot the loan and claimed he didn't owe me anything, I'd just given him the money for the bike. I did stop fuming at some point in the last decade. I think lockdown wiped out the resentment.

Wexone · 23/04/2023 10:41

@Psalmbodytolove I would be taking pictures every time and putting them on Facebook to shane her also write notes and leave on her car. if possible spray cream or shaving foam saying not blue badge on her car.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 23/04/2023 11:00

A very trivial one - my least favourite aunt, when I was 7 or 8, accused me of nicking a glacé cherry off a fairy cake - a party tea was laid out all ready in their dining room but it wasn’t teatime yet.
I had never liked glacé cherries - still don’t! - and vehemently protested my innocence, but she refused to believe me.
She’s been dead for ages but I still resent that (when I think of it, which is admittedly not very often now.)

Amberglass · 23/04/2023 11:14

At primary school I was shoved by a boy in the school corridor just outside an open classroom door. I said 'Do you mind?' in a rather cross tone. A teacher inside the classroom heard what I said but didn't see the shove. She hauled me into the room and told me off 'for rudeness' in front of a class of older kids. It's been over 50 years and I'm still burning with humiliation and anger at the injustice of it.

Shintyhappypeople · 23/04/2023 11:34

Years ago I was dumped by text message. The worm in question was applying for jobs at the time and Brewdog ended up employing him. How could they not know how much of a dick he was? Anyway, they still get a small frowning when I pass.

LeChatChat · 23/04/2023 12:36

There was a poster on here once called eatshitderek. I always wondered what Derek had done to her.

Latenightreader · 23/04/2023 13:20

I still resent that my mother made me share my goldfish with a boy I knew because he wasn’t allowed a pet. His involvement pretty much stopped at naming it. I wanted to call it Snow White (the fish was white with a pink stomach and I already had Hansel and Gretel) but he wanted to call it Ramsbottom (even at four I didn’t find bottom jokes funny). I think Snow White Ramsbottom died 40 years ago but I am still cross that they were made to have such a silly name.

Around the same time I was playing at his house and his mother gave us both a banana milkshake. I have never drunk milk - it always makes me feel sick I tasted it and left it. At lunchtime he had a ribena and the milkshake came out again for me. I went upstairs and had a drink from the bathroom tap.

Forty years on. Still grumpy about both.

Tidsleytiddy · 23/04/2023 15:12

Over thirty years ago I got a job for a shitty little office supplies company in Margate. Every single person who worked there was some sort of arsehole. The idiot I had to share an office with ran to the manager and told her I was interested in having a baby. They sacked me on the spot for having the cheek to utter this. All wrong. Absolute bunch of cunts. I’d still like to put their windows through but I’m hoping they went out of business
