Do you hold grudges? For a really, really long time? Join the club. For some people, being salty is a way of life. And sometimes the reasons for being salty are really warranted.
On Reddit, folks are sharing the thing they are STILL salty about—even if it’s been years.
You know what? No matter how old you are, stay salty, my friends. It was awful that your teacher didn’t believe you handed in that assignment on time. It was the absolute worst that your boss didn’t recognize your hard work. It was an atrocity that your co-worker coopted your birthday celebration and blew out your candles.
May they all rot in the fiery pits for eternity!

“In a 5th grade science test the question was, ‘Are there any stars in the solar system.’ I answered, ‘Yes.’ Teacher marked it wrong. I went up afterwards and said, “What about the Sun?” He said, he meant that all the other stars are not in our solar system and kept it marked wrong. Although I am harboring this for 50 years now, he was all-around one of the best teachers I ever had and just passed away a week or so ago. But damn, that should have been marked ‘right.'” — tres_chill

“When I was in high school someone tagged up the school. They announced there would be a reward for anyone who rats anyone out. I get called in the office and find out I’m suspended for vandalism. I didn’t do it and had no idea who. 4 days later I’m allowed to come back to school because they found who actually did it. I just got an apology.” — Imlouwhoareyou

“When I was in high school, I was occasionally allowed to drive my family’s third car. It had a slow leak in one of the tires, so we were all supposed to check the pressure and put air in it if we needed to. I picked up a friend to go to a movie, and when we came out one tire was completely flat. It wasn’t the one with the leak, so I put the spare on and drove home. I got absolute hell from my parents about it. How irresponsible I was to not check it, I’d have to pay for the repair, why didn’t I call roadside assistance, etc. Took it to get fixed, repeat the whole lecture as we’re dropping it off, and the tech who did it called my mom and told her he’d found a nail in the tire and there was no way I could have seen it coming. She refused to apologize and I still had to pay for it.” — EradiKate

“On a fourth grade math test we had to make a shape that had only four sides, one set of parallel lines, and only ONE right angle (there were probably more requirements but I cant remember) I remember almost crying at my desk and spending 20 minutes on that one question while constantly telling my teacher that it wasn’t possible but according to her it was. And the next day we went over the answer key, and the answer had two right angles.” — Gloomy_CowPlant

“In fourth grade English class (EU) I’ve used the word ‘gross’ in a random sentence we had to write. The teacher argued that it isn’t a real word, I said that it is, that I saw it a few times in video games and movies and she said that they aren’t a reliable source. I said to her that I’m gonna show it in the dictionary, but she instead grabbed me by the arm and took me out of the classroom and locked the door. To this day I am still fuming about this. And then she had the nerve to be all chummy when I met her once in a supermarket. Gross. In both cases it was meant like “disgusting” and I know there are even more meanings behind the word. I wonder if she knows by now.” — kuroishi_x

“3 months ago I went on maternity leave. The woman hired to cover for me was being paid 3 dollars more than I’m currently paid. She was going to be kept on as a full time accounting assistant after I returned, but she couldn’t keep up with my daily tasks and completely fucked up several databases that I had to correct when I returned to work the following month. When I asked for a raise, they offered me .50 after telling me how crucial I am to the structure of the company. Needless to say, I’m looking for a new job.” — chumbokosh

“Twenty years ago I had three friends show up at my house and when they left my wallet with $80 in it was missing. One of the guys felt bad and gave me $20 back. Three years after that we are in the BK drive thru and he whipped out my wallet. Still salty. His FB friend request has just been sitting there for like two years.” — justsomeguynbd

“I was probably 5 years old visiting my mom at the hospital after she gave birth to my brother and she was given food on a tray which she didn’t want so she gave it to me. I put the tray on the table and as I was eating, the nurse takes the tray away from me and throws away the food. That may have my first true instance of anger in my life. I’m 27 now and I’m pissed as I’m writing this haha.” — TwoGoalsOneCup

“Came second in food tech competition. Made a lovely main course then Langues du chat biscuits with lemon posset for dessert. I made this dessert because the judges prior to this day told us ‘don’t make a cake for dessert.’ Guess what won first place? A fucking cake.” — AtheistCreationist

“That my 6th grade teacher refused to believe I had no idea the dude sitting behind me was copying my answers on the test.” — JustOurThings
