    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.

      Without reading into this a single bit further I’m just going to assume it’s because you have an incredibly flat ass. My condolences

        A true booty enthusiast would find beauty in all booty no matter the shape. I think they lost their rear entirely in a tragic accident, Booty Enthusiast was still enthused, that stirred up deep emotional confusion regarding their passion, and the confusion manifest as hate.

    I’m not a beefy person, more like an emotional vegetarian tbh. Plenty of people have had beef with me, some for known reasons and some I can only speculate about. People are allowed to have their feelings, and even when it bothered me I never saw a reason to change myself to in response to others, so I’ve never returned the favour.

    Except one person. This fucker tormented me for years until I finally accepted him as an enemy. I finally won (had him fired while I got to stay on), but I still don’t feel good. I think this beef fundamentally changed me. I’m so much more petty and on edge and unwilling to trust people and let them in now than before. I don’t know if I wish that I had pushed back years earlier or just left years ago without engaging, but I don’t like myself as much now as I did before.

    Not an enemy, more like a rival. He’s really good at what we do, clearly better than me. He lives a different life style than me, and is really smug about anyone who doesn’t share that life style.

    He always makes me doubt myself, but I know it’s not on purpose. We have plenty of shared friends, so I guess we’re actually more friends than enemies. But I can’t help thinking about how excellent it would be to see him taken down a notch.

    I did about 10 years ago. I was working as the entire marketing department for an Oil & Gas services company and I could not stand the owner’s son. At first we were friendly. He and I both struggled with mental illness and sort of bonded over being a little weird (I much more than him).

    The problems didn’t start until he came back from a voluntary stay at a mental health facility determined to prove himself to his father. He took over my department (which was just me) and started making big sweeping changes to how I was supposed to work. He had a degree in business management and his only experience in marketing was that he was the CEO’s son.

    We started clashing and arguing over every little thing and the more we quarreled the more involved he got. One day I was gchatting on my work computer with my SO at the time and expressed my frustration about the situation. Later that day he came by my desk to watch me work on a piece of collateral and saw that chat which I had forgotten about and left on one of my monitors.

    From that moment on he was aggressively an asshole. His sister, the head of hr, put me on a performance improvement plan which is just HR code for looking for a reason to fire me. A few weeks later I was working on a major redesign of the website to reflect the new direction the President (my former boss) wanted to take the company, which Owner’s Son hated. He thought it was a waste of time so he set a bunch of really short deadlines he thought I would fail. When I came in on time and under budget for the second phase of the redesign he couldn’t keep the thin veneer of professionalism that kept our beef low key. He laid into the prototype as if it was final delivery and told me that if it were up to him he’d cancel the project (it wasn’t because I had gone over his head and got the entire C-Suite to approve the project). I was so angry I was shaking and all I could manage to say was that I was glad it wasn’t up to him.

    I walked from his office to his sister’s and asked her to fire me (I gravely misunderstood the unemployment laws in Texas). After an hour of conversation she agreed and told me she would in a few days. Unfortunately for me my grandmother died the next day so I ended up taking a few days of bereavement leave. When I got back, while I was at lunch I got a notice from facebook that I had been removed as the admin for the company’s page so I knew before I finished my sandwich it was over.

    I carried a grudge for many years after that and many times considered getting revenge. I even concocted a very vile plan to frame him for a crime by hacking his wifi and planting illegal content on his personal computer. Fortunately for everyone, I never did and eventually I realized the best revenge was to forget about him and live my life.

    My brother in law. Dude is a lazy pos who barely takes care of his kid and complains about everything. He does nothing to make my sister’s life easier, she does all of the housework, childcare, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, etc. She’s starting to slowly stand up for herself though, which is good. I’ve already said my piece to her, so she knows I’m waiting on the sidelines with a shovel if need be.

    Every pensioner that goes shopping on weekends. You have the whole week to roam around in the supermarket but no, you just have to choose the time when I’m off work to block every aisle and move at a snail’s pace.

    But for real, probably my birthgiver. She’s the most narcissistic piece of shit I ever had the displeasure of meeting. Luckily I cut any contact years ago but I still wouldn’t piss on her if she was on fire.

    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 💚

    No. The entire concept of that is incompatible with my world view. I can’t honestly even say that I hate anyone.

    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.
