People can be pretty negative, that's no secret. Anger, bitterness, sadness – you name it. While it can be pretty uncomfortable to experience all of them, it's also what makes us human – we were created to feel a lot.
Well, today we want to shine a light on one of the feelings probably all of us have experienced at least once – a grudge. It can be brought on by various factors, and interestingly, it can last way longer than some of the other feelings. So, let's jump in to check out some examples, shall we?

North Face refused to honor the warranty on a backpack I bought from the gear store I worked at. I followed the instructions that I’d gotten from the TNF sales rep who did a training at our store. It wrecked the straps. (Hand wash, line dry.)
I bought the bag in 1990 and it was my EDC for years. I washed it in 1994. They said I shouldn’t have cleaned it. A******s didn’t return the bag to me, either.
F**k north fake.

Verizon. Totally screwed up my bill, fixed it after a 2 hour call, then sent me a $100 voucher for the trouble. A few days later, I got a nasty call from their fraud department for somehow "stealing" the $100 voucher. I requested a record of the call, and they tacked on $50 for the transcript on the next month's bill. This was right around the time MVNOs were becoming mainstream, so I got a better plan at half the price and never looked back.

Matthew. In grade school he hit me on the head with a hockey stick when we were arguing. I was aquaman and he was the 6 million dollar man. Ain't no way the 6 million dollar man can run on water. I stand by this. I'm 56 and a half.
Edit:
since this blew up a bit I'll fill in some more details. Matthew lived next door. I was 8 or 9 and he was a year younger, but actually bigger than me. Anytime things didn't go his way he would run home crying and then his mother would come barreling out and yell at me. Any little thing would set him off and it happened a lot. So we got into this argument and I threw a snowball at him. Now remember we wore these big a*s puffy coats in the 70s and his went down to the tops of his legs. Ugly a*s s**t brown jacket too. I hit him with it near the bottom on the side. I doubt he even felt it, but he started crying and he picked up a hockey stick and hit me in the forehead. Then he ran home crying. I booked it because I knew what was coming next. Sure enough Mathews mommy knocks on our door all p**s and vinegar that I hit her son with a snowball. My mother calls me over and lifts my bangs (ya, I rocked those) and showed her the welt on my forehead. She went silent and just walked away. I still have a mark from it.
I have practically no other memories from this age, but this I still see clear as day. Right down to his s**t brown jacket. Memories are weird. And f**k you Matthew you fat a*s pancake. I'm not still bitter. Really.

Jello! When they discontinued pudding pops I went on a boycott. And would only eat hunts pudding and royal gelatin. Think I'm going on nearly 30 years. I was pregnant with my 2nd and couldn't get them, and it is a grudge for life.
I do have a slightly longer personal one. Dates to 1984, I stole a pen from a store, and when I showed it to my neighbor and said I "found it on my walk home", she said her cousin lost one 2 days before and I had to give it to her to return to him. I still call her "Esther who stole my stolen pen" when I talk about her. Takes a thief to catch a thief, lol.

That f*****g kid who talked s**t about my mom in 3rd grade. I waited until the teacher left the class for a minute. When she came
back his desk was sideways on the floor with him still in it, crying. F**k that kid!
