Counterpoint, every super old and active person I know holds ancient, mystically enchanted grudges - ThreadSky

I'm pretty sure my Nana and her sisters are going to outlive me and my brother just because none of them wants to die first.

My grandfather negotiated a union contract with Fred Trump in the early 1980s & held a grudge against him & his son deep into Alzheimer's. He saw Donnie on TV ca. 2018 & said incredulously "He's the president?!? He's a BUM"

Even with the memory issues he was fucking yoked right to the end

Accurate. My 75-year-old father walks daily and still holds a grudge against Big Bear groceries (which closed all of their stores in Columbus nearly 20 years ago) because they wouldn’t break a $100 bill.

reply

jaredberry.bsky.social•12 days ago

He will also claim his boycott of Big Bear caused their demise. But he’s still bitter about the whole thing.

I hate most of the Hanna-Barbera cartoons and years ago declared “I don’t wish death on Hanna and Barbera, but I’ll be happy when they’re dead”

Have also wished terrible things on Shawn Mullins, as I consider “Lullaby” the worst song of all time.

2. I had the craziest Pog collection ever in grade 5… I had the entire collection of the hockey Pogs and so so many more. One day I came out after class and someone stole them all from my backpack. Never found out who the little douche was that stole them… And let’s not get into real grudges

reply

geresmusic.bsky.social•12 days ago

I have so many… 1. When my brothers and I were kids in the 90s my mom made us write our names in marker on the back of our hockey cards. Literally flushing thousands of dollars down the drain in retrospect.

I still think that Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys only because, as a fan since college, he was livid about the Cardinals leaving St. Louis.

If STL could never win, neither should Dallas. That's his motivation.

Paranoid? Moi?

reply

printisdead.bsky.social•12 days ago

And Jones was so incompetent that he accidentally won three super bowls before getting the hang of sabotage? And he fired Jimmy Johnson *because* of the two super bowls he won? As a cowboys fan, I now subscribe to this theory 👍

PS fuck Jerry
