Before my mom died she handmade a custom wool bomber jacket for my dad. My dad remarried. My dad later died and I left the house immediately. My step mother and I did not get along. A couple days later I went back to the house to get that jacket that my dead mother made for my dead father. It was literally the only thing I wanted. She had already thrown it out. It’s been 20 years and I’m still not over it.
The Bush administration lied us into the Iraq War, at least hundreds of thousands of people died, countless injured. Trillions of dollars wasted. The entire Middle East destabilized. And not a single person went to jail for it. Or even faced any repercussions.
In school we had to do a project. We got to put a list of topics we wanted in the order of how much we wanted to. I got the topic I wanted,however someone in my class started the project early so they could get that topic. I had to change it. It still makes a little annoyed.
My guardian kicked me out because I offended her boyfriend (by telling him that calling the president a monkey and saying Black people are dumber was racist) and she claimed until she died that it was because I didn’t follow her rules or act like I belonged in her family. For some reason she could not explain which rules I broke or how I didn’t fit, but it was totally my fault and had nothing to do with her boyfriend.
After the spill, as part of a massive PR push, they literally gave out boats, boat motors, and every other fucking thing they could think of to the local population so they could “help” with the clean up. It was a massive bribery scheme that many took advantage of.
How my stepdad did my mom after he passed, Never told her he was to be buried with his ex-wife. She found out the day after he passed🥺 That still hurts her till this day. 32yrs together never said a word
In 1979 I walked my Darth Vader action figure across the Stovetop of Death. He melted into a black plastic patty with a light saber sticking out the top. Nobody told me those things would one day be a valuable collectible.
My ex boyfriend was a church favorite and after I broke up with him my “church family” dropped me. He got married and his now wife was quite rude to me multiple times. Weird things happened like people ignoring me, getting uninvited to parties so he and his wife could go. Nobody, not even friends who I opened up to about my hurt, stood up for me. I’ve since moved to a major city and built an amazing life, but sometimes I still think, ‘eff them’—even years later 😂
Disney messing up the John Carter of Mars movie. The books are incredible and worthy of a mini series. Instead they made a mid tier summer action movie that played fast and loose with the original material. Totally killed the chances for a real John Carter film. Now I have to wait for AI to reach the ability to generate full films.
I am still pissed my dad would not let me bat left handed in baseball.
I was a very good athlete that flinched when batting right(due to a stigmatism)
When playing with my brother and friends I hit the hell out of the ball from the left.
my ex and i were love interests in a musical who ended up dating real (yeah, don’t do that!!). he started cheating on me in the open with a girl that was supposed to be my friend and then I had to be the one with balls and ask if he wanted out. it’s been 6 years and i’m still angry/sad about it.
Taehyung’s character dying towards the end of Hwarang. I know it was dramatic and poignant. But the writers could have easily sacrificed one of the lesser known characters and had Taehyung’s character fight his half brother, beat him, and go on to help Seojoon’s character at the end of the show. They did my man dirty. I’m still pissed about it
I’m salty about a lot of things, but on a lighter note, I’m still salty that Esmeralda and Qausimodo didn’t end up together in the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
As a young Gen Xer, I saw firsthand how even flip phones with text messaging started to unravel the fabric of society. People used to be so much more connected. I knew everyone in school and everyone at work.
It started to get really bad after smart phones arrived. I went back to college for a different degree around age 30 and I was mortified by how anti-social and avoidant of eye contact the younger generation was.
Technology has ruined us. Things were so much better before.
3rd grade spelling bee. I got “doughnut”. Spelled it Donut. Now apparently that is an acceptable spelling. Also? I argued that’s the way Dunkin spelled it. I was eliminated. I’m 60. Still pissed. 😝
When I was a teenager, I didn’t want to be the pianist for my high school choir. I joined choir so I could sing and have fun with my friends.
However, I was a better pianist than my teacher was, so she made me play. (Why hire a professional when you can make a 15 year old do it for free?) Some of the music was way above my ability level (we’re talking a “Ragtime” medley), and I developed an anxiety problem that I still haven’t grown out of.
I spent a lot of time alone at the piano, practicing when no one else had to. During the concerts, the piano was usually down on the floor, while everyone else was up on stage singing. I was so upset at every concert.
My teacher never once said “thank you.”
I’m a choir teacher now, and I actively strive to be the opposite of her.
Obama. He promised “hope and change” and he changed in to his predecessor right down to the love of ordering war crimes. I wish the pre election Obama would have shown up for the inauguration.
How much money I spent on my siblings who and whose kids never shown affection to me. I had always felt guilty being more successful (by a long stretch) than them so I felt compelled to help. I’m the youngest and I ended up the sole breadwinner. If they gave any contribution at all to support our parents financially, only the very bare minimum. In the end it’s my fault, I enabled them.
Glad you asked, any chance I get to bring this up, I gladly will!!!!
This was maybe 14/15 years ago (2010? 2011?) junior prom. I was ironically campaigned for prom king, i didn’t want it, just thought it was funny because it was being memed to death at our school. I was that weirdo with autism who just found humor in these types of things.
Important context is that my school had the teachers pick king/queen, not a student vote.
Anyway, come prom, prom queen goes to the smartest girl in the year (deserved), prom king goes to some guy named KINGSLEY…..
Again I didn’t really want it, but it just felt like the teachers saw the irony in his name and prom Kong and gave it to him….
This kid was FAR from a role model, had bullied me + others previously, was friends with all the drop kick guys in our year, yet he still got awarded it
Just the pure laziness of the teachers giving that to some guy that was like THAT, makes me salty AF. So many other guys in our year who deserved it much more.
i’m 38 and can’t get over the fact that my mother allowed shrinks to dope me up on all kinda prescription pills as an out of control teenager. lost my entire childhood by sleeping and eating. then all my life no matter what i achieved i was barely praised or recognized compared to my brother. maybe it’s cause i’m “slow” but it bothers me still and i deserve to be treated better. such is life tho ig. it’s not really holding me back aside from trust and detachment issues
I used to be in a fraternity in college where some attendance at community service type events was expected. I didn’t show up for the big event of the year, a charity walkathon, because I was scheduled to go at like 3am or something, but I also at the time had more community service hours that semester (and this was more than halfway through) than literally the entire rest of the fraternity combined. Our fraternity ended up getting recognized by the university for outstanding community service that semester, because of me (I literally had 100s of hours). I ended up getting reprimanded because my lack of attendance “made us look bad.” I brought up my other community service and was told “this isn’t a dick measuring contest.” Fuck you Kevin.
I had a teacher whose son was my rival for YEARS. I got her for senior english. She made everything insanely difficult for me, consistently giving me crap grades whenever grading was subjective enough. I had A’s and B’s in my other classes all year.
Our senior final project, before the exam, she gave my group an A and gave me a D. I went nuts and apparently in the next class she showed my class work to them and asked if they thought it was worthy of the same grade as everyone else (my best friend was in the period after me.)
I needed a 77 on my final exam to pass her class. 40 percent of our grade was essays. I got a 76: 58/60 on the multiple choice/short answer, and 18/40 on the essays.
My final report card for my senior year? 3 A, 3 B, 1 F… a 69.3.
She screwed me out of graduating on time, walking with my class, and getting into college (I had to do a semester at the CC called bridge).
The most awesome part… my parents and I met with her, the guidance counselor (who I had been meeting with 3/4 of the year bc of her) and the principal, and she straight up denied it, until it became indefensible, where she announced to us and her boss “I’m quitting anyway and moving out of state to follow my son to college.”
I felt like I was in a movie. I’m 41 now and everything has worked out great, but that woman still burns my brain when I think about her. I have a hard time wishing her any kind of well whatsoever.
My father putting a cigarette out on my arm giving me a 2nd degree burn while laughing about it. Still rubs me the wrong way to this day, even more so now having a child.
Art teacher in 7th grade would pass out rubrics when we started a project so we knew what was expected. At the bottom was a section called “extra credit”. I realized halfway through the project that I wasn’t going to be able to fulfill the extra credit portion. I went to the teacher and asked her if we have to do the extra credit, because, y’know, it’s EXTRA credit, right? For doing extra stuff.
She told me, “You don’t HAVE to…”
So I didn’t.
And I lost points for not doing the “extra” credit, that she semantically told me I didn’t have to do.
Twenty years later, fuck you, Ms. Vuono. You’re a bitch.
Freaking Mama Melrose Restaurant at Hollywood Studios got rid of this really good dish. It was a pork tenderloin served over a bed of this cavatappi pasta in a cream sauce that had peas in it. So good.
When I am fairly new to my career my ex boss takes advantage of how naive and passive I was. Making me work long hours, uses intimidation and act like his god.
Years later and many promotion, I am now at the same position as him in corporate, I look back and realised the things he put me through was wrong and unacceptable.
Most of my childhood lol. I was a second class citizen because my step-dad didn’t like me but he liked my siblings. So I was either punished for existing, or being told it’s okay and just do what he says to keep the peace. Their peace, not mine, I never had any till I moved out at 17. I’m 34 now and still bitter about it.
Women in executive positions are allowed to harass and be verbally abusive to men in lower hierarchy, but men are not allowed to say anything back to them.
About 19 years ago, my childhood best friend and I went to the same college. For our first holiday since college, we were going back to our hometown via a five-hour bus ride for the first time. Her sister also went to the same college, so the three of us bought tickets to go home together for two weeks. Before and during the bus ride, I kept asking if we should buy the ticket back to college right after we arrived at the station in our hometown, because I was lowkey worried they’d sell out with everyone returning at once. They kept saying we could buy them later, like a couple days before we wanted to go back to the city. Fine, I trusted them, the sister had been doing this for three years already.
Fast forward to three days before we were supposed to go back. I called my friend about getting the ticket… and that b—- said she and her sister had already bought theirs on the day we arrived in town??? JUST for the two of them???? She said, “Well, we were already at the station, made sense to just buy it, and I wasn’t sure if you wanted to go back with us…” Excuse youuuu??? After I asked you a million times?? No time to even be mad, cause I had to rush to the station to see if their bus had any seats left, of course, it didn’t. I had to get a ticket for a different day, all by myself haha.
It was honestly terrifying because it was not just my first time traveling to the city alone, but also my first time being alone in the city at all. From the bus station in the city to my college was another two bus rides away, and at that time I had only been living there for about three months, and never once by myself. I was so scared lol.
In hindsight, the travel wasn’t bad at all, and it was the start of me becoming comfortable traveling and doing things on my own. But, still salty about that, not only because they didn’t tell me they had bought the ticket until I called, but also because they were the ones who said we didn’t need to rush buying tickets right after we got home and then proceeded to do exactly that but without getting one for me, and because they didn’t think they were wrong, so no apologies received. But we’re still friends, as she is otherwise a wonderful person and has never hurt me before or since lol
My older brother and I worked for a guy over a summer, in exchange for a used car. When my brother graduated High School, my parents paid for my share, so they could give it to him as a graduation present. So for graduation, he got his own car.
My little sisters each got a used car for their graduation.
When I graduated, I didn’t get a present from my parents. Nothing, zip nada.
When I was five I went to the doctor for a routine checkup. Being five I was terrified of getting a shot and my mom promised me that I wouldn’t get one on this trip.
But…
As it turns out the hospital got their first shipment of the brand new chicken pox vaccine that day and they decided to go ahead and poke me with it while I was there since they had it.
Naturally, five year old me was FURIOUS about having to get a shot because my mom LIED to me and told me I wouldn’t get one but then I did.
I had a roommate a decade ago with whom I did not get along. I was so eager to leave that i forgot to reclaim $950 deposit from her. She obviously never said anything, and by the time I figured out I forgot I realized there was no paper trail for this – no emails, no text messages. It was all agrees upon verbally I guess, so I couldn’t claim it back in any way. It wasn’t a game-changer sum but I’m still pissed at the injustice
Playing baseball in house league we have a 5 run mercy rule where the inning ends, I’m catching loaded bases a hit to the outfield the ump calls that its 5 (maybe a parent) well the batter turns and goes back fo their dugout mercy right?
I got my team to tag first and claimed she should he out, the inning is over (2 out at the time) and he run doesnt count
The ruling is all runners must be safe from force before any runs can count if it’s the last out of an inning. The only exception is runner on second and third 2 out you make the out at 3rd on the runner advancing not by force, if R3 touches the plate before the tag out happens then run counts even if the batter didnt reach first.
That wasnt the situation, either way the umpire didnt agree with me, I told my coach he didnt agree with me, I was an umpire at this time as well, I talked to some of my older umpires, they agreed with me, I told my coach next game saying I talked o veteran umpires and this is the rule, he still disagreed and fought me
My father coming home drunk at night trying to rape my mother and hitting her. Right there on the couch which was in line of sight of my bed. I was 7 or 8 at the time. Didn’t understand what was going on then, but really hate him for it.
My sister-in-law wanted to watch a TV show, and she called my wife to let her know that if we came over (which we often did) not to disturb her because this show is something special for my sister-in-law. Naturally my wife doesn’t mention it to me.
Her son then wants to play a board game (a typical thing we did) and because the dining room is occupied with stuff on the table, plays it in the kitchen breakfast area, adjacent to the open plan living room where the TV is on extremely loud because this show apparently has awful sound recording.
I can’t her her son, who’s setting right next to me. He asks his Mom to turn the TV down, and the Mom explodes. She comes up with a rationalization that I told her son to ask her to turn the volume down, because I knew what she said to my wife, and I was manipulating her son to say what I wanted. She creates a huge fight, throws me out of her house, forbids me to come back and holds that line for ten years. During that time, she invites my wife and daughter over often, giving gits and treats to them to ensure they come, and talks badly about me (and later supports any negative comment my wife might make about me).
Then after a full decade of trashing me to anyone that she can when my name comes up, she tells me I can reenter her new home (recently became rich) and I can act like nothing happened. I simply say “I can’t go back there just because I want to, I’ll have to be invited so I can be welcome.” That causes her to blow up again, and she now sees me as insulting her hospitality (of not actually letting people know I’m welcome, as I’m just permitted to ignore her previous words).
It’s still going on, and she’s an insufferable bitch to me, even if she is warm and welcoming to others. I personally hope she gets her comeuppance, but the reality is that she won’t. Her recent wealth means that many in the family pander to her and believe that I must have done something awful to get the treatment I’ve received.
I might feel deeply guilty about thinking such an awful thing, but I hope she suffers as much as the pain and suffering she’s caused to me, and I hope her family suffers an equivalent amount of damage as she’s done in years of persuading to my wife and daughter that I’m the source of all their problems.
The YMCA. Visited a friend of my partner. The parking signs said go inside and see the front desk for a parking slip. The lady on the desk refused to give me one. She was rude and difficult just so we could meet our friend at uni. We were there 5 maybe 10 minutes max.
We left. The parking camera issued a fine. The YMCA refused to acknowledge it, so the parking company wouldn’t accept non-payment and threatened me with escalation and further fees. I had no real choice other than to pay their £60 fine.
My best friend at primary school betrayed me and joined the people who bullied me. It got so bad I stopped going out in the playground eventually. I did beat one of the bullies up on a bus when he attacked me about a decade after we left primary school and I refused to let him talk nasty to me because I had spent time learning how to look after myself so had the confidence to not be a victim anymore. It didn’t make me feel any better but it sure made him feel worse. But yeah. Fuck you Joe Green. Its been about 25 years and I still hope you choke on something. The rest of the bullies I don’t care about anymore. But I HATE TRAITORS!
We had this hot exchange student in high school, from somewhere in the Netherlands. I got lucky and sat next to her on the way back from a field excursion. I was already friendly with her, but I decided that now was the time to chat her up. I was doing pretty well, and she was responding in kind, things were going perfectly, until the bus went over a fairly big bump in the road, and the air conditioner/air vent unit above each pair of seats completely fell out of its mooring and fell on me, hitting me square on the head, leaving me slightly bloody, embarrassed, and laughed at by my mates around me, who knew full well what I’d been trying to do. It totally broke the mood, and I was too embarrassed to ever hit on her again. Worse still, I had to hold the unit until we got back.
When I die I want the people I did the group project for research methods in psychology with to lower me into the ground so they can let me down once again. 30 years later I’m still bitter that I got a 65 in that class even though I got all 80s and 90s on my individual work and exams. I switched my major from psych to English lit and as soon as I found out any class had a major group project component I would drop it.
Lost out on entire shift of wages/tips because Portlandia apparently was filming at the breakfast restaurant that day and had hijacked the space . Nobody decided to tell me (dishwasher/busser) about it until I showed up to work . I was broke and needed every single cent. Pretty sure the restaurant owner was compensated but not me . Fuck Portlandia . It’s a funny show at times but I’m jaded still lol . Sad me living off a dishwasher wage at the time .
I’m the oldest child. Youngest sibling is my half sibling. Dad remarried. My mom and dad fought in court from the time I was in 5th grade until I was 25. My parents didn’t pay for my college (my mom couldn’t). I worked 3 jobs while taking 22 hours. I was told if I was 18 I was old enough to pay for my own schooling. I did everything in my power to keep my college pay as low as possible. My college used to charge one price for full time no matter how many hours you took, so I took 25 hours each semester. I still had to take out loans, which I’m still paying. (This was the recession btw). At one time I was trying to rent a house by campus with my friend that my family knew really well. I needed a co-signer on the lease. I had never made a late payment on a single bill. I wasn’t asking for any money. I just needed a signature. My dad made a huge deal out of it and made me feel like a greedy horrible person. Anyway… fast forward.
My half sibling goes to college out of state, and they pay for it. They don’t have to work bc they want them to focus on classes. While I’m so happy for the sibling, I’m hurt. It makes me feel invalidated, not necessarily jealous, but more so just hurt that they didn’t seem to care about my success in the same way. I read somewhere that parents treat you this way bc they know you’ll land on your feet, which I always do, but it still hurts each time I hear about them doing something else special and leaving me out.
My brother inherited the contents of the townhouse my mother lived in and hired a company to take every single thing out and throw it in a dumpster parked next to her car without telling me. The only thing she didn’t want to have happen was her stuff trashed. I lost every memento of my parents and childhood.
Moved approximately 2000 kms in spring of 2022. With friends help and multiple cars, it was about 8000 kms of driving.
Gas in Canada has not come close to those numbers. Over 2.00 a litre for nearly the whole drive, with a peak of 2.20/litre. That move was expensive, and gas came down after, and hasn’t gone back to that level!
Don’t get me wrong, I deserved it. but the bit they didn’t seem to consider is because of the logistics of equipment in the different labs, they covered the sylabus in different orders. So by the end of the year and final exams there’s things I’ve never seen and things I’ve done twice.
And i just know that bastard sat there, looked at the scores and felt justified and it never once entered his head that he sabotaged me.
In 2010 FutureShop (Canadian Best Buy) broke my MacBook pro and refused to admit it.
I had some minor software issues and it was under warranty so I took it to their warranty department. When I picked it up, they had taken care of the issues I had, but now it didn’t respond to the clamshell being open or closed. Found that out when I nearly cooked it to death in my backpack.
I took it back to have them take care of that, and they told me the warranty was void due to water damage. Well, there clearly wasn’t any water damage the first time, or they wouldn’t have done that work. So the only conclusion I can draw is that they caused the water damage and wouldn’t take responsibility. I became a major thorn in their side for weeks trying to get my laptop fixed or replaced and in the end they gave me a $100 gift card for me to go away.
My freshman year of high school, i was in band and the end of the year band trip was to HAWAII and performing at the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. My family couldn’t afford to send me.
Also, Covid happened during my senior year of high school 2020 so I didn’t get prom or a graduation. I already had bought my prom dress and cap and gown. (Yeah high school was cruel to me).
My grandmother was an amazing woman. When I was about 10, she was over and I was at school. She decided to do some picking up and went into my room. She threw out some of my basketball cards that were on my nightstand. One of those was a fleer, Michael Jordan 3rd or 4th year card in a hard plastic case. She legit took it and tossed it out.
I loved my Grandmother but that was a hard pill to swallow
My friend had to get a major operation, and we got about 20 close friends together for a dinner a few days before. It was like 7 of us jammed in a car on our way there, we all love the same genre of music so we were passing around the aux and showing each other new songs.
His girlfriend was sitting all the way in the back and started whining in this annoying shrieky voice demanding we put on Morgan Wallen or some other pop country that nobody liked. He folded and we listened to that shit the whole way there. I’m still mad.
I corrected my 6th grade teacher’s spelling of the word “lens” for the second or third time in a week and she insisted she was correct. She spelt it “lense”. I’m 30 now. She’s still a dumb bitch that barely graduated college to my mind.
When I was in middle school, we were being taught about the senses the human body has, specifically eyesight. The teacher was talking about eyesight problems and complete blindness. She said that all blind people only see pitch black. I was confused how someone without eyesight can see “pitch black” so I asked her how they can see pitch black She proceeded to shame me in front of the entire class about “asking a stupid question” and used me and my question as an example of “not paying attention in class” to her other classes.
Years later I was watching an interview with blind people who once had eyesight but lost it completely. One of them said something like “I don’t see black. What does your hand see right now? Nothing because your hand doesn’t have eyesight That’s how my eyes see now, nothing.”. I got shamed for being right.
I loved art, made art constantly, drawing, building, stories, painting, sculpting… at 12 years old my entire family told me i’d never make it as an artist. I’m salty at myself for taking it personally and quitting something that made me happy.
I know it’s a silly thing compared to some of ther things in here…but I’m still salty about Disney taking Daredevil away from Netflix. I know I know…their property, their right…but that show was so freaking good and Disney’s continuation is a pale shadow of what it once was.
I went to high school with Joe Cardona, the long snapper from the Patriots, and we got into an argument about privilege during our junior year that still makes me mad to remember. The fact that that douchebag has multiple Super Bowl rings now certainly doesn’t help
Not being invited to 2 birthday parties in elementary school. One was when I was about 8…she was my “best friend”…I helped her plan it. I assumed I was invited…assumed wrong. I wasn’t invited.
Party 2. Around 11. Was talking to a classmate who I thought was my friend about the movie Miss Congeniality. The classmate was like “Well we’ll watch that movie at my party…oh wait, you’re not coming to my party”.
I’m 35 now and I still can’t watch that movie without thinking of that hurtful moment
Broke up with my fiance baby dad after he cheated. Him and the homewrecker moved down the block from me. I had to move to a new city to get away from them both. More to it, I can’t type it all out. He was abusive, then I had her to put up with too. She was also mean to my son. Took him to the hairdresser, had his hair chopped off, he cried the whole time, not once did she comfort him. He wasn’t even 3 years old yet! The hairdresser thought she was the worst mom ever. Well she wasn’t his mom!
I can’t get over him not protecting our son! I can’t get past that she enjoyed making my life hell, hurting my son, when she was the other woman!
The Iran-Contra scandal. High members of the Reagan administration funneled weapons to Iran (during an Embargo) and used the money to fund a militia that was fighting the Sandinista in Nicaragua. They also traded arms for hostages. I think the only person to go to jail was Oliver North, and now he’s a darling of right wing media
Comments
That anybody thought packing dozens of thirteen-year-olds into the same room was a good developmental idea.
Before my mom died she handmade a custom wool bomber jacket for my dad. My dad remarried. My dad later died and I left the house immediately. My step mother and I did not get along. A couple days later I went back to the house to get that jacket that my dead mother made for my dead father. It was literally the only thing I wanted. She had already thrown it out. It’s been 20 years and I’m still not over it.
taking second place in third grade egg drop im have think it’s rigged
The Bush administration lied us into the Iraq War, at least hundreds of thousands of people died, countless injured. Trillions of dollars wasted. The entire Middle East destabilized. And not a single person went to jail for it. Or even faced any repercussions.
Giving the right answer in class and my teacher telling me I was wrong. Happened twice and I’m not over it lol
Season 6 of Gossip Girl
The 1966 FIFA World Cup final.
the pull out of Afghanistan
the last 2 seasons of GoT
Giving away my first edition Pokémon cards to my sister’s ex-stepson and pretty much never seeing him again.
In school we had to do a project. We got to put a list of topics we wanted in the order of how much we wanted to. I got the topic I wanted,however someone in my class started the project early so they could get that topic. I had to change it. It still makes a little annoyed.
The ending of Lost.
My guardian kicked me out because I offended her boyfriend (by telling him that calling the president a monkey and saying Black people are dumber was racist) and she claimed until she died that it was because I didn’t follow her rules or act like I belonged in her family. For some reason she could not explain which rules I broke or how I didn’t fit, but it was totally my fault and had nothing to do with her boyfriend.
Parking meters at the beach.
Nothin
This president
My sister made a fake page to troll me
Chips way better with salt 😋
The Exxon Valdez oil spill.
After the spill, as part of a massive PR push, they literally gave out boats, boat motors, and every other fucking thing they could think of to the local population so they could “help” with the clean up. It was a massive bribery scheme that many took advantage of.
I’ve never bought gas at an Exxon since.
Socom 3
School bullies
How my stepdad did my mom after he passed, Never told her he was to be buried with his ex-wife. She found out the day after he passed🥺 That still hurts her till this day. 32yrs together never said a word
Asked all through my childhood for a dog, repeatedly told no.. Moved out, 2 months later they got a dog for my younger sister 😭
In 1979 I walked my Darth Vader action figure across the Stovetop of Death. He melted into a black plastic patty with a light saber sticking out the top. Nobody told me those things would one day be a valuable collectible.
My ex boyfriend was a church favorite and after I broke up with him my “church family” dropped me. He got married and his now wife was quite rude to me multiple times. Weird things happened like people ignoring me, getting uninvited to parties so he and his wife could go. Nobody, not even friends who I opened up to about my hurt, stood up for me. I’ve since moved to a major city and built an amazing life, but sometimes I still think, ‘eff them’—even years later 😂
Disney messing up the John Carter of Mars movie. The books are incredible and worthy of a mini series. Instead they made a mid tier summer action movie that played fast and loose with the original material. Totally killed the chances for a real John Carter film. Now I have to wait for AI to reach the ability to generate full films.
Stranger things getting delayed like 400000 times every single season:(
I am still pissed my dad would not let me bat left handed in baseball.
I was a very good athlete that flinched when batting right(due to a stigmatism)
When playing with my brother and friends I hit the hell out of the ball from the left.
Hmmn … does this even matter – well yes and no
my ex and i were love interests in a musical who ended up dating real (yeah, don’t do that!!). he started cheating on me in the open with a girl that was supposed to be my friend and then I had to be the one with balls and ask if he wanted out. it’s been 6 years and i’m still angry/sad about it.
Taehyung’s character dying towards the end of Hwarang. I know it was dramatic and poignant. But the writers could have easily sacrificed one of the lesser known characters and had Taehyung’s character fight his half brother, beat him, and go on to help Seojoon’s character at the end of the show. They did my man dirty. I’m still pissed about it
Never having my love reciprocated 🥲
The Waco siege. I get it, they were allegedly hurting children but that doesn’t mean you get to kill all the children and run tanks over the corpses.
My parents encouraging me to go into severe debt to get a college degree
I’m salty about a lot of things, but on a lighter note, I’m still salty that Esmeralda and Qausimodo didn’t end up together in the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
As a young Gen Xer, I saw firsthand how even flip phones with text messaging started to unravel the fabric of society. People used to be so much more connected. I knew everyone in school and everyone at work.
It started to get really bad after smart phones arrived. I went back to college for a different degree around age 30 and I was mortified by how anti-social and avoidant of eye contact the younger generation was.
Technology has ruined us. Things were so much better before.
People glazing Rami Malek playing Freddie Mercury, but completely missing Taron Eggerton’s amazing performance as Elton John.
The Waterloo battle. Against all odds Napoleon almost won that one too.
Man City winning the league in 2011-2012 with a last minute goal. That was the last time I was salty about anything, then I grew up.
how the sequel of Star Wars went 🥲 I had high hopes
3rd grade spelling bee. I got “doughnut”. Spelled it Donut. Now apparently that is an acceptable spelling. Also? I argued that’s the way Dunkin spelled it. I was eliminated. I’m 60. Still pissed. 😝
My Social Studies teacher in High School giving me a 90% on a geography test (I usually aced them) because I refused to use a neologism for a country.
When I was a teenager, I didn’t want to be the pianist for my high school choir. I joined choir so I could sing and have fun with my friends.
However, I was a better pianist than my teacher was, so she made me play. (Why hire a professional when you can make a 15 year old do it for free?) Some of the music was way above my ability level (we’re talking a “Ragtime” medley), and I developed an anxiety problem that I still haven’t grown out of.
I spent a lot of time alone at the piano, practicing when no one else had to. During the concerts, the piano was usually down on the floor, while everyone else was up on stage singing. I was so upset at every concert.
My teacher never once said “thank you.”
I’m a choir teacher now, and I actively strive to be the opposite of her.
Capitalism.
Obama. He promised “hope and change” and he changed in to his predecessor right down to the love of ordering war crimes. I wish the pre election Obama would have shown up for the inauguration.
How much money I spent on my siblings who and whose kids never shown affection to me. I had always felt guilty being more successful (by a long stretch) than them so I felt compelled to help. I’m the youngest and I ended up the sole breadwinner. If they gave any contribution at all to support our parents financially, only the very bare minimum. In the end it’s my fault, I enabled them.
Covid.. the masking. How people treated other people. George Floyd riots. That whole year just sucked.
Glad you asked, any chance I get to bring this up, I gladly will!!!!
This was maybe 14/15 years ago (2010? 2011?) junior prom. I was ironically campaigned for prom king, i didn’t want it, just thought it was funny because it was being memed to death at our school. I was that weirdo with autism who just found humor in these types of things.
Important context is that my school had the teachers pick king/queen, not a student vote.
Anyway, come prom, prom queen goes to the smartest girl in the year (deserved), prom king goes to some guy named KINGSLEY…..
Again I didn’t really want it, but it just felt like the teachers saw the irony in his name and prom Kong and gave it to him….
This kid was FAR from a role model, had bullied me + others previously, was friends with all the drop kick guys in our year, yet he still got awarded it
Just the pure laziness of the teachers giving that to some guy that was like THAT, makes me salty AF. So many other guys in our year who deserved it much more.
i’m 38 and can’t get over the fact that my mother allowed shrinks to dope me up on all kinda prescription pills as an out of control teenager. lost my entire childhood by sleeping and eating. then all my life no matter what i achieved i was barely praised or recognized compared to my brother. maybe it’s cause i’m “slow” but it bothers me still and i deserve to be treated better. such is life tho ig. it’s not really holding me back aside from trust and detachment issues
Trump winning in 2016
Fuck you Jennifer. And fuck you to Alicia.
Ahhhhh. That’s felt great!
The FAA using 9/11 as an excuse to stop walk-in service at their offices. Imagine if the DMV did that.
I don’t recall Osama declaring war on America’s paperwork.
I used to be in a fraternity in college where some attendance at community service type events was expected. I didn’t show up for the big event of the year, a charity walkathon, because I was scheduled to go at like 3am or something, but I also at the time had more community service hours that semester (and this was more than halfway through) than literally the entire rest of the fraternity combined. Our fraternity ended up getting recognized by the university for outstanding community service that semester, because of me (I literally had 100s of hours). I ended up getting reprimanded because my lack of attendance “made us look bad.” I brought up my other community service and was told “this isn’t a dick measuring contest.” Fuck you Kevin.
That one time when I accidentally fell into the Dead Sea.
Dances with Wolves over Goodfellas
I had a teacher whose son was my rival for YEARS. I got her for senior english. She made everything insanely difficult for me, consistently giving me crap grades whenever grading was subjective enough. I had A’s and B’s in my other classes all year.
Our senior final project, before the exam, she gave my group an A and gave me a D. I went nuts and apparently in the next class she showed my class work to them and asked if they thought it was worthy of the same grade as everyone else (my best friend was in the period after me.)
I needed a 77 on my final exam to pass her class. 40 percent of our grade was essays. I got a 76: 58/60 on the multiple choice/short answer, and 18/40 on the essays.
My final report card for my senior year? 3 A, 3 B, 1 F… a 69.3.
She screwed me out of graduating on time, walking with my class, and getting into college (I had to do a semester at the CC called bridge).
The most awesome part… my parents and I met with her, the guidance counselor (who I had been meeting with 3/4 of the year bc of her) and the principal, and she straight up denied it, until it became indefensible, where she announced to us and her boss “I’m quitting anyway and moving out of state to follow my son to college.”
I felt like I was in a movie. I’m 41 now and everything has worked out great, but that woman still burns my brain when I think about her. I have a hard time wishing her any kind of well whatsoever.
My father putting a cigarette out on my arm giving me a 2nd degree burn while laughing about it. Still rubs me the wrong way to this day, even more so now having a child.
Art teacher in 7th grade would pass out rubrics when we started a project so we knew what was expected. At the bottom was a section called “extra credit”. I realized halfway through the project that I wasn’t going to be able to fulfill the extra credit portion. I went to the teacher and asked her if we have to do the extra credit, because, y’know, it’s EXTRA credit, right? For doing extra stuff.
She told me, “You don’t HAVE to…”
So I didn’t.
And I lost points for not doing the “extra” credit, that she semantically told me I didn’t have to do.
Twenty years later, fuck you, Ms. Vuono. You’re a bitch.
Freaking Mama Melrose Restaurant at Hollywood Studios got rid of this really good dish. It was a pork tenderloin served over a bed of this cavatappi pasta in a cream sauce that had peas in it. So good.
When I am fairly new to my career my ex boss takes advantage of how naive and passive I was. Making me work long hours, uses intimidation and act like his god.
Years later and many promotion, I am now at the same position as him in corporate, I look back and realised the things he put me through was wrong and unacceptable.
Bastard got away with murder.
Most of my childhood lol. I was a second class citizen because my step-dad didn’t like me but he liked my siblings. So I was either punished for existing, or being told it’s okay and just do what he says to keep the peace. Their peace, not mine, I never had any till I moved out at 17. I’m 34 now and still bitter about it.
Women in executive positions are allowed to harass and be verbally abusive to men in lower hierarchy, but men are not allowed to say anything back to them.
Dad was killed by a drunk driver in front of a church in 1985. I’m still salty with god
Too many things. I have a hard time letting some things go.
Discontinuing “I am not ok with this” 😐 I am NOT ok with the cliff hanger.
About 19 years ago, my childhood best friend and I went to the same college. For our first holiday since college, we were going back to our hometown via a five-hour bus ride for the first time. Her sister also went to the same college, so the three of us bought tickets to go home together for two weeks. Before and during the bus ride, I kept asking if we should buy the ticket back to college right after we arrived at the station in our hometown, because I was lowkey worried they’d sell out with everyone returning at once. They kept saying we could buy them later, like a couple days before we wanted to go back to the city. Fine, I trusted them, the sister had been doing this for three years already.
Fast forward to three days before we were supposed to go back. I called my friend about getting the ticket… and that b—- said she and her sister had already bought theirs on the day we arrived in town??? JUST for the two of them???? She said, “Well, we were already at the station, made sense to just buy it, and I wasn’t sure if you wanted to go back with us…” Excuse youuuu??? After I asked you a million times?? No time to even be mad, cause I had to rush to the station to see if their bus had any seats left, of course, it didn’t. I had to get a ticket for a different day, all by myself haha.
It was honestly terrifying because it was not just my first time traveling to the city alone, but also my first time being alone in the city at all. From the bus station in the city to my college was another two bus rides away, and at that time I had only been living there for about three months, and never once by myself. I was so scared lol.
In hindsight, the travel wasn’t bad at all, and it was the start of me becoming comfortable traveling and doing things on my own. But, still salty about that, not only because they didn’t tell me they had bought the ticket until I called, but also because they were the ones who said we didn’t need to rush buying tickets right after we got home and then proceeded to do exactly that but without getting one for me, and because they didn’t think they were wrong, so no apologies received. But we’re still friends, as she is otherwise a wonderful person and has never hurt me before or since lol
When my sister pushed me downstairs
Closest friend got with my ex, and all our mutual friends either defended him or pretended that nothing happened
My older brother and I worked for a guy over a summer, in exchange for a used car. When my brother graduated High School, my parents paid for my share, so they could give it to him as a graduation present. So for graduation, he got his own car.
My little sisters each got a used car for their graduation.
When I graduated, I didn’t get a present from my parents. Nothing, zip nada.
When I was five I went to the doctor for a routine checkup. Being five I was terrified of getting a shot and my mom promised me that I wouldn’t get one on this trip.
But…
As it turns out the hospital got their first shipment of the brand new chicken pox vaccine that day and they decided to go ahead and poke me with it while I was there since they had it.
Naturally, five year old me was FURIOUS about having to get a shot because my mom LIED to me and told me I wouldn’t get one but then I did.
27.5 years later and I’m still salty about this.
I had a roommate a decade ago with whom I did not get along. I was so eager to leave that i forgot to reclaim $950 deposit from her. She obviously never said anything, and by the time I figured out I forgot I realized there was no paper trail for this – no emails, no text messages. It was all agrees upon verbally I guess, so I couldn’t claim it back in any way. It wasn’t a game-changer sum but I’m still pissed at the injustice

My parents joked that the Houston Astros were named after a playing surface, but never explained the joke, so I grew up taking it as truth.

It’s been 15 years and I’m still mad as hell about it
Playing baseball in house league we have a 5 run mercy rule where the inning ends, I’m catching loaded bases a hit to the outfield the ump calls that its 5 (maybe a parent) well the batter turns and goes back fo their dugout mercy right?
I got my team to tag first and claimed she should he out, the inning is over (2 out at the time) and he run doesnt count
The ruling is all runners must be safe from force before any runs can count if it’s the last out of an inning. The only exception is runner on second and third 2 out you make the out at 3rd on the runner advancing not by force, if R3 touches the plate before the tag out happens then run counts even if the batter didnt reach first.
That wasnt the situation, either way the umpire didnt agree with me, I told my coach he didnt agree with me, I was an umpire at this time as well, I talked to some of my older umpires, they agreed with me, I told my coach next game saying I talked o veteran umpires and this is the rule, he still disagreed and fought me
We didnt get along me and my coach
Joe Carter in the ‘93 series.
Foul on Darren Anderton in 1993 FA Cup semi final. Clear penalty.
6th grade. 1997. Last day of class. The World Studies teacher went around telling students individually what grade they got.
She goes up to me and my friend and says “(darkmeathook) and (friend). I don’t know how you guys did it, but you both got As.”
I was excited since I definitely didn’t do A work the last quarter of her class. Turns out i did not get an A in her class. I got a C.
Fuck you, Gina M.
I got a toothbrush for Secret Santa…after I put in lots of effort for the gift I gave.
Salsa flavored Doritos in the black bag just vanished and left a hole in my heart forever.
My father coming home drunk at night trying to rape my mother and hitting her. Right there on the couch which was in line of sight of my bed. I was 7 or 8 at the time. Didn’t understand what was going on then, but really hate him for it.

My sister-in-law wanted to watch a TV show, and she called my wife to let her know that if we came over (which we often did) not to disturb her because this show is something special for my sister-in-law. Naturally my wife doesn’t mention it to me.
Her son then wants to play a board game (a typical thing we did) and because the dining room is occupied with stuff on the table, plays it in the kitchen breakfast area, adjacent to the open plan living room where the TV is on extremely loud because this show apparently has awful sound recording.
I can’t her her son, who’s setting right next to me. He asks his Mom to turn the TV down, and the Mom explodes. She comes up with a rationalization that I told her son to ask her to turn the volume down, because I knew what she said to my wife, and I was manipulating her son to say what I wanted. She creates a huge fight, throws me out of her house, forbids me to come back and holds that line for ten years. During that time, she invites my wife and daughter over often, giving gits and treats to them to ensure they come, and talks badly about me (and later supports any negative comment my wife might make about me).
Then after a full decade of trashing me to anyone that she can when my name comes up, she tells me I can reenter her new home (recently became rich) and I can act like nothing happened. I simply say “I can’t go back there just because I want to, I’ll have to be invited so I can be welcome.” That causes her to blow up again, and she now sees me as insulting her hospitality (of not actually letting people know I’m welcome, as I’m just permitted to ignore her previous words).
It’s still going on, and she’s an insufferable bitch to me, even if she is warm and welcoming to others. I personally hope she gets her comeuppance, but the reality is that she won’t. Her recent wealth means that many in the family pander to her and believe that I must have done something awful to get the treatment I’ve received.
I might feel deeply guilty about thinking such an awful thing, but I hope she suffers as much as the pain and suffering she’s caused to me, and I hope her family suffers an equivalent amount of damage as she’s done in years of persuading to my wife and daughter that I’m the source of all their problems.
The YMCA. Visited a friend of my partner. The parking signs said go inside and see the front desk for a parking slip. The lady on the desk refused to give me one. She was rude and difficult just so we could meet our friend at uni. We were there 5 maybe 10 minutes max.
We left. The parking camera issued a fine. The YMCA refused to acknowledge it, so the parking company wouldn’t accept non-payment and threatened me with escalation and further fees. I had no real choice other than to pay their £60 fine.
The YMCA employ cunts.
My best friend at primary school betrayed me and joined the people who bullied me. It got so bad I stopped going out in the playground eventually. I did beat one of the bullies up on a bus when he attacked me about a decade after we left primary school and I refused to let him talk nasty to me because I had spent time learning how to look after myself so had the confidence to not be a victim anymore. It didn’t make me feel any better but it sure made him feel worse. But yeah. Fuck you Joe Green. Its been about 25 years and I still hope you choke on something. The rest of the bullies I don’t care about anymore. But I HATE TRAITORS!
We had this hot exchange student in high school, from somewhere in the Netherlands. I got lucky and sat next to her on the way back from a field excursion. I was already friendly with her, but I decided that now was the time to chat her up. I was doing pretty well, and she was responding in kind, things were going perfectly, until the bus went over a fairly big bump in the road, and the air conditioner/air vent unit above each pair of seats completely fell out of its mooring and fell on me, hitting me square on the head, leaving me slightly bloody, embarrassed, and laughed at by my mates around me, who knew full well what I’d been trying to do. It totally broke the mood, and I was too embarrassed to ever hit on her again. Worse still, I had to hold the unit until we got back.
Howard Schultz (Starbucks) sold the Seattle Supersonics basketball team to businessman Clay Bennett.
Clay Bennett swore he wouldn’t relocate the team to Oklahoma City.
He moved to the team to Oklahoma City.
Fuck that guy.
His daughter is hot AF though.
When I die I want the people I did the group project for research methods in psychology with to lower me into the ground so they can let me down once again. 30 years later I’m still bitter that I got a 65 in that class even though I got all 80s and 90s on my individual work and exams. I switched my major from psych to English lit and as soon as I found out any class had a major group project component I would drop it.
Preston manning and the Reform Party. He turned Canadian Parliament and politics into a fucking clown show and it’s only gotten worse since.
Lost out on entire shift of wages/tips because Portlandia apparently was filming at the breakfast restaurant that day and had hijacked the space . Nobody decided to tell me (dishwasher/busser) about it until I showed up to work . I was broke and needed every single cent. Pretty sure the restaurant owner was compensated but not me . Fuck Portlandia . It’s a funny show at times but I’m jaded still lol . Sad me living off a dishwasher wage at the time .
I’m the oldest child. Youngest sibling is my half sibling. Dad remarried. My mom and dad fought in court from the time I was in 5th grade until I was 25. My parents didn’t pay for my college (my mom couldn’t). I worked 3 jobs while taking 22 hours. I was told if I was 18 I was old enough to pay for my own schooling. I did everything in my power to keep my college pay as low as possible. My college used to charge one price for full time no matter how many hours you took, so I took 25 hours each semester. I still had to take out loans, which I’m still paying. (This was the recession btw). At one time I was trying to rent a house by campus with my friend that my family knew really well. I needed a co-signer on the lease. I had never made a late payment on a single bill. I wasn’t asking for any money. I just needed a signature. My dad made a huge deal out of it and made me feel like a greedy horrible person. Anyway… fast forward.
My half sibling goes to college out of state, and they pay for it. They don’t have to work bc they want them to focus on classes. While I’m so happy for the sibling, I’m hurt. It makes me feel invalidated, not necessarily jealous, but more so just hurt that they didn’t seem to care about my success in the same way. I read somewhere that parents treat you this way bc they know you’ll land on your feet, which I always do, but it still hurts each time I hear about them doing something else special and leaving me out.
My brother inherited the contents of the townhouse my mother lived in and hired a company to take every single thing out and throw it in a dumpster parked next to her car without telling me. The only thing she didn’t want to have happen was her stuff trashed. I lost every memento of my parents and childhood.
Moved approximately 2000 kms in spring of 2022. With friends help and multiple cars, it was about 8000 kms of driving.
Gas in Canada has not come close to those numbers. Over 2.00 a litre for nearly the whole drive, with a peak of 2.20/litre. That move was expensive, and gas came down after, and hasn’t gone back to that level!
PPP loans.
The asshole that cheated on my sister. My sister couldn’t care less at this point, but I still really, really hate his guts.
Getting dropped a group in science at school
Don’t get me wrong, I deserved it. but the bit they didn’t seem to consider is because of the logistics of equipment in the different labs, they covered the sylabus in different orders. So by the end of the year and final exams there’s things I’ve never seen and things I’ve done twice.
And i just know that bastard sat there, looked at the scores and felt justified and it never once entered his head that he sabotaged me.
I had a fairy epic hockey card collection that my mom sold at a garage sale for $5.
What could a few Gretzky rookies be worth anyway…..
In 2010 FutureShop (Canadian Best Buy) broke my MacBook pro and refused to admit it.
I had some minor software issues and it was under warranty so I took it to their warranty department. When I picked it up, they had taken care of the issues I had, but now it didn’t respond to the clamshell being open or closed. Found that out when I nearly cooked it to death in my backpack.
I took it back to have them take care of that, and they told me the warranty was void due to water damage. Well, there clearly wasn’t any water damage the first time, or they wouldn’t have done that work. So the only conclusion I can draw is that they caused the water damage and wouldn’t take responsibility. I became a major thorn in their side for weeks trying to get my laptop fixed or replaced and in the end they gave me a $100 gift card for me to go away.
The discontinuation of Just Right cereals. I would kill for one last bowl.
My freshman year of high school, i was in band and the end of the year band trip was to HAWAII and performing at the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. My family couldn’t afford to send me.
Also, Covid happened during my senior year of high school 2020 so I didn’t get prom or a graduation. I already had bought my prom dress and cap and gown. (Yeah high school was cruel to me).
Jethro Tull beating Metallica for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal act at the ’89 Grammys. You know what you can do with that flute.
People who have done me wrong in the past
My grandmother was an amazing woman. When I was about 10, she was over and I was at school. She decided to do some picking up and went into my room. She threw out some of my basketball cards that were on my nightstand. One of those was a fleer, Michael Jordan 3rd or 4th year card in a hard plastic case. She legit took it and tossed it out.
I loved my Grandmother but that was a hard pill to swallow
My friend had to get a major operation, and we got about 20 close friends together for a dinner a few days before. It was like 7 of us jammed in a car on our way there, we all love the same genre of music so we were passing around the aux and showing each other new songs.
His girlfriend was sitting all the way in the back and started whining in this annoying shrieky voice demanding we put on Morgan Wallen or some other pop country that nobody liked. He folded and we listened to that shit the whole way there. I’m still mad.
I corrected my 6th grade teacher’s spelling of the word “lens” for the second or third time in a week and she insisted she was correct. She spelt it “lense”. I’m 30 now. She’s still a dumb bitch that barely graduated college to my mind.
Back in high school, I was playing Trivial Pursuit with a friend and I was in the middle with a full pie.
The question for the win:
“Where are Utah, Omaha, and Juno beaches?”
I answered with “France”.
He immediately said “Wrong, Normandy!”
Commence the argument that I still bring up with him to this day (just to give him crap).
I was technically correct, but if the answer on the card is something more specific, then I argue that he should have asked me to be more specific.

When I was in middle school, we were being taught about the senses the human body has, specifically eyesight. The teacher was talking about eyesight problems and complete blindness. She said that all blind people only see pitch black. I was confused how someone without eyesight can see “pitch black” so I asked her how they can see pitch black She proceeded to shame me in front of the entire class about “asking a stupid question” and used me and my question as an example of “not paying attention in class” to her other classes.
Years later I was watching an interview with blind people who once had eyesight but lost it completely. One of them said something like “I don’t see black. What does your hand see right now? Nothing because your hand doesn’t have eyesight That’s how my eyes see now, nothing.”. I got shamed for being right.
I loved art, made art constantly, drawing, building, stories, painting, sculpting… at 12 years old my entire family told me i’d never make it as an artist. I’m salty at myself for taking it personally and quitting something that made me happy.
I know it’s a silly thing compared to some of ther things in here…but I’m still salty about Disney taking Daredevil away from Netflix. I know I know…their property, their right…but that show was so freaking good and Disney’s continuation is a pale shadow of what it once was.
I went to high school with Joe Cardona, the long snapper from the Patriots, and we got into an argument about privilege during our junior year that still makes me mad to remember. The fact that that douchebag has multiple Super Bowl rings now certainly doesn’t help
Yowza! I thought I held contempt too long until I came here.
Thanks for making me feel better.
Not being invited to 2 birthday parties in elementary school. One was when I was about 8…she was my “best friend”…I helped her plan it. I assumed I was invited…assumed wrong. I wasn’t invited.
Party 2. Around 11. Was talking to a classmate who I thought was my friend about the movie Miss Congeniality. The classmate was like “Well we’ll watch that movie at my party…oh wait, you’re not coming to my party”.
I’m 35 now and I still can’t watch that movie without thinking of that hurtful moment
Broke up with my fiance baby dad after he cheated. Him and the homewrecker moved down the block from me. I had to move to a new city to get away from them both. More to it, I can’t type it all out. He was abusive, then I had her to put up with too. She was also mean to my son. Took him to the hairdresser, had his hair chopped off, he cried the whole time, not once did she comfort him. He wasn’t even 3 years old yet! The hairdresser thought she was the worst mom ever. Well she wasn’t his mom!
I can’t get over him not protecting our son! I can’t get past that she enjoyed making my life hell, hurting my son, when she was the other woman!
The Iran-Contra scandal. High members of the Reagan administration funneled weapons to Iran (during an Embargo) and used the money to fund a militia that was fighting the Sandinista in Nicaragua. They also traded arms for hostages. I think the only person to go to jail was Oliver North, and now he’s a darling of right wing media
Somehow ending up in two abusive relationship back to back. Trauma is a shitty thing
