Petty Injustices that People are Still Salty About


As an adult, you have to deal with some pretty disappointing garbage, but for some reason the real stuff that keeps you up at night, seething with rage, is the thought that in 4th grade you got pinned with calling another kid a butthead when in fact it was actually Dylan. We all just have stuff we're still salty about.

Text - BZUKAjoe 2.7k points · 1 day ago S I found a bongo next to the trash at my old apartment and it was a perfect time capsule of the 90's. it had grateful dead stickers, a smiley face holographic sticker, a pot leaf sticker, and alien. i'm telling you if someone made this as a prop for a movie about the 90's, I would have told them that it's too on the nose. When i came home from work the first thing my GFs friend said was "You're welcome" and I was like "What?". She had peeled off ALL of th

There were also "special" pencils that had stars on them. If you got one of these special pencils, you could take it into the office and get a prize. One day, I decided to get a pencil. I put in my quarter and out popped TWO pencils. And one of them was a special pencil! I went into the office and told the lady

I had won in the third grade, and proceeded to win in the fifth and sixth grades as well. The unfair disqualification in fourth grade ruined what would have been a four year streak.

So with my new photos I went to hand in my project, only to be told that we were doing a peer review of them.. no-one in my group did the project and couldn

And the next day we went over the answer key, and the answer had two

Text - Portarossa 20.4k points · 1 day ago 2 I've mentioned this before, but when I was about eight or nine, we had a big project in school which ended with us writing a story. I spent fuckin' hours on this thing. It was going to be the best book ever. It was only a matter of time before it was snapped up by some publisher and then it would be the talk of the Scholastic Book Fair, no doubt in my mind. It absolutely had to be in by the time school finished for Christmas, so my teacher could mark

Text - whatnofood 18.6k points · 1 day ago A child in my child's class at school told their teacher that their mom was taking them out of school for the day of their birthday and so they would be absent on that day. The teacher admonished the child and told them that if they weren't present the following day that there would be hell to pay. The child was rightly upset and decided to go into school, they hadn't taken down their homework properly and so did three different pages of work. It was th

Text - justsomeguynbd 18.1k points 1 day ago 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.

Text - TZH85 17.2k points · 1 day ago · edited 22 hours ago I'm 35 now. When I was 14 or 15, my mom stormed into my room one evening and accused me of smashing a glass and getting rid of the evidence. It was one of these retro coke glasses. I swore I didn't break any glass - and if I did, why would I hide such a small accident? But my mom didn't believe me. She was so mad and accused me of lying. She wouldn't even say why I was her prime suspect. Somehow it just had to be me. Anyway, I got into

Text - scottevil110 16.7k points · 1 day ago When I was 10, I (the goody two-shoes nerd) was sat in the back of the bus, next to the class trouble- maker, because we had assigned seats (thanks to him). He took apart someone's science fair project that was being kept back there, and threw a piece out the window. When someone tattled on him, he blamed it on me, and since the teacher couldn't prove one way or another, they just punished both of us, despite 15 kids coming to my defense. Fuck schools

After the celebrations I put what was left in the freezer to have some other time as a nice treat (birthday cake being a novelty). The fucker demolished every last bit of it. This wasn't just a little slice of cake leftover, at least half of the cake remained until he got his mitts on it. Was absolutely fuming.

"It depends on how big their books are" is absolutely the correct answer and shouldn't have been marked wrong. And you fucking know it, don't you, Mrs. Kay? Don't you?!

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 mar

I trained maybe half a dozen other people who started there after I did and was never promoted to crew trainer for that sweet $0.15 an hour raise.

We show up and not a single kid built those cars, it was pretty much a "dad competition". My son came in dead last and I was sad for him because his friends literally said that their dads all built their cars. So for the next 4 years my son picked the design and color scheme, and I built them while at w

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 sti
