Not like ideologically, but personally. I wanna hear about your beef
Oh dear. Had this friend, J. She was an artist and taught classes for kids. My kid started her class when J and I were already friend.
A few months later we were supposed to co-host a big New Year’s Eve party for a bunch of our friends. J was moving, had job troubles, she bailed on the party the week before–didn’t help, didn’t even come. I was annoyed but I could understand.
In the same time period my kid decides she won’t re-enroll on J’s class because… well, because she’s 7 and she got bored. I try calling J to let her know. 15 times as I recall it, let’s say 7 times because I may be wrong. She doesn’t return my calls. I have other things in my mind and eventually forgets about it.
Two weeks later, first art lesson of the new year, Kid doesn’t go. Two minutes after the lesson ends, J is calling me screaming that I forbade Kid to come back because I was angry about the misses New Year’s Eve party.
Nothing I said could convince her otherwise, and my numerous “I should have told you, I tried to, I called you 10+ times and you never called me back, and then it was the holidays and it slipped my mind” could have been in Ancient Greek for all the good they did.
It’s been 4 years. Small town. To this day she crosses the road to avoid me. She’s telling people I’m a terrible mother and person.My grandiose narcissistic boss… waiting for this f*cker to get retired.
Then I gonna open the most expensive bottle of champagne I can afford to buy!
The older kid who stole my PSP then helped me look for it. I saw him with it 3 months later, told the school deputy. I ended up getting it back.
He knocked up some girl in high school and started working at Burger King. I went to college and got a degree. Neither of us have made good choices it seems.
seems like you made the better path in life. college and degree, is better than a pregnant teen mother and working at fastfood.
Not when Im in 130k debt and no job. Or, only getting minimum wage jobs still.
true that. but being burdened by raising children you are not ready is probably much more difficult.
Definitely sounds like you made a few better choices than him. Petty larceny led him down the dark path.
It’s like 1-sided but from his perspective. Dude cannot stand me. I think he’s smart and cute, except he’s the world’s most shitty communicator. It’s not my fault you only communicate via inference.
There was a family that was associated with the same social organization i still am. They attemped a power grab and were fairly successful in a subset of the organization. However they bit off more than they could chew and ended up being kicked out but they tried to take me down with them. It didn’t work only because I had the backing of the larger organization.
The dad’s resume came across my desk for a job recent. Sadly, he didn’t make the cut.
the plot twist would be that you were the scumbag HOA president and that the family was trying to stop your tyranny and fails.
joined a start up. making bank, but the ceo is wicked. constantly saying people don’t work hard enough in front of others.
No and I don’t want one.
I have people I don’t want to work with, but I don’t wish them anything worse than not having me in their life.
There was this guy that I thought was my friend. Whenever I felt down or had pretty bad thoughts, he assured me that was normal. I get that sometimes it helps, but he also never let me take things for granted, and even made me question genuinely positive things. He ended up ruining both of my major relationships and led me from a decently paying job (that I kind of enjoyed) to working a minimum wage job that ranges from decent to awful. He prevented me from enjoying things in life that I can never go back to experience ever again. I can’t say we’re besties anymore. That guy? That’s me.
You! I hate youuu grrrrrr
Very understandable, me too!
My old manager from 15 years ago, she tried several times to get me sacked, because she absolutely hated me for a reason I never found out. The company started to struggle so I was the first one to be made redundant because of her. A few weeks later I am working somewhere else in the same town, my new manager comes up to me and asks who the hell (my old manager) was? I asked how they knew her and apparently she had been phoning up trying to bad mouth me to get me sacked! Massively upset me how someone could hate me so much and I never found out why
I had one like that, but managed to get promoted to equal standing so she’s no longer a direct threat. After nearly a decade of subtler sabotage, the company was sold to a competing firm when my boss retired, and one of their admins who had worked with her bad-mouthed her to hell and back but sang my praises. They had to keep her to do the shitty overcomplicated stuff nobody else wants to learn how to do, but at least now I don’t have to talk to her and I’m doing okay at the new place.
Wow that’s turbo fucked, what an asshole
Time … and junk food.
Junk food may well be the greatest enemy of all
My ex wife.
I am a domestic abuse survivor. For almost 15 years I was subjected to all manner of verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Like most domestic violence victims I had difficulty breaking away, for the usual reasons that I’m not going to get into. I eventually had a psychotic break, which she used to portray herself as the hero and the victim in the family, effectively destroying my reputation and many of my relationships with my friends and family.
I’ve since built a new life that I’m pretty darn happy with, but if I were to ever see her in person again, I would attack her without hesitation. When she dies, I hope she is in agony, terrified, and alone.
Hey there. I had just over 10 years together with mine.
She OD’d, alone. It was satisfying TBH. I know that runs in the face of accepted modern morality, but it was satisfying.
Completely different reason, but I felt that same satisfaction when my dad died of a painful stomach cancer. Shit head abandoned his wife and kids for his affair partner and her 4 kids. He did a bunch of stupid shit because he was a stupid shit. I was sad for my aunts because they lost their brother, but his death has made me closer to them so that’s a win 🤷♀️
Otherwise, it was so satisfying knowing that he died in pain without his own children or hers there. I don’t feel guilty for feeling that and neither should you 💚
The abusive thing that I grew up around may or may not be dead, haven’t spoken to her in 20yrs. But the history of cancer on the women’s side took all her grandmother, all her aunts, and my grandma, so there’s a strong chance she’ll rot and die without family. And while she’ll undoubtedly continue to bemoan her victimhood and abandonment to the end, won’t change that she’s driven her children away. I can totally understand your satisfaction.
Oh, I don’t feel guilty for it.
I’m glad you’re living a good life now
Everyone at Costco on a weekday morning who is walking a little too leisurely. These aisles are for the living and I want to check you into the goddamn boards.
That shit would not fly at my local Costco. I stopped for the first time on a weekday morning and it was a bloodbath of efficient cart movement. I almost died because I was too slow grabbing a bag of sugar and putting it in my cart in a fluid motion.
Bless those people, though they scare me.
Now the motherfuckers that show up later in the day after they start handing out free samples, on the other hand…
I am my own worst enemy.
This is no surprise to me…
Guess again. I have found you!
(Just kidding by the way)
In high school, there was a guy who banned me from his discord server for no reason. A few months back I get a linkedin request to connect from him. Fuck no.
FUCK YOU ALAN
