You may have heard that the best way to get over a past wrong is to forgive the perpetrator. But as with most things in life, that's usually much easier said than done. No matter if we need to pardon ourselves or someone else.

To explore these difficult situations (and hopefully learn a thing or two that would help to deal with them), let's take a look at a few Reddit threads (one and two) that asked people what bitter experiences do they remain salty about no matter how much time passes by.

We can't escape our past. It will always be there, following us like a shadow. If only accepting it would be as simple as flicking a light switch.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life I entered a competition where you had to be the first to type the lyrics to Auld Lang Syne.

I did it first with seconds to spare and was disqualified for not using the 'correct' lyrics. They apparently wanted the Americanised lyrics.

I'm Scottish. The song is Scottish.

I will never not be angry when I think about it.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life We used to play Candyland all the time at the babysitters. One time I drew the Snow Queen and the babysitter said "it's too early for that card," and made me put it back in the deck and draw again." Her daughter drew the Snow Queen a few turns later and the babysitter lit up like "oOOooO Snow Queen!!!" and moved her piece. I was 4, but will never forget.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life So in the 4th grade, a teacher made me stay after school to finish a project I had forgotten about. Now in my household, having to stay after school for whatever reason usually ended up in a beating because you messed up and embarrassed the family. Nine year old me left the classroom an hour later absolutely terrified, tearing up because I knew when I got home I was going to get beat. The next day the teacher pulled me in front of the class, told me to never make a scene like that again and basically called me a cry baby. I've never cried in school before and I was only 9 years old - you'd think she'd question why this kid was so terrified to go home? A few months later one of my brother's teachers realized something was not right, and we were taken out of my dad's house immediately. It's a small town so I know she must have heard why. I hope she took it to heart and never treated an ab*sed kid like that again. Part of me hopes it's still on her conscience after all these years, but I recognize that's not healthy.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life I used to work for a pretty evil tech company in tech support. I was miserable only because I couldn't seem to get promoted.

I got an offer at a place only 10 minutes from my house. Same pay, free parking, and happiness.

I put my two weeks' notice in at my current job, and they were suddenly falling all over themselves to give me the promotion I had so wanted (specializing in web tracking software, which I was really good at). I agreed to stay on if they would promote me to that position.

I was young and naive, of course. They f****d me. I declined the other job offer, and then they denied me the promotion after I'd jumped through a bunch of hoops to qualify for it.

I rage-walked out of work that day. I rage-walked 9.85 miles. I was furious.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life I have a mom friend. Our kids don't play together anymore because I am convinced her son is a budding psycho. He would come over to play with our kids, and purposely break toys, he took all our kids lego figures and pulled the heads, bottoms, hats off and threw them around our basement. We are pretty sure he took a bunch home, as we can't find about ten of them. We went to a water park with each other, and their son vanished. We were all yelling and running everywhere looking for him, we were in the middle of making the place go into lock down when he popped out from hiding. He was hiding the whole time watching his parents freak out. The breaking point for me was this; We used to walk our kids to the library together. I pushed my youngest in a stroller, as the hills in our neighborhood are too much for her little legs. One day her son asks if he can push my kid. I tell him sure, but be careful. He takes off with the stroller, running full speed up a hill, we are yelling for him to stop, and he's laughing, not slowing at all. He reaches the top of the hill, stops running, and shoves my stroller with toddler inside it down the hilly road. Thank god the stroller veered left and hit the curb and didn't speed down the hill through the busy intersection. I was done after that. The other mom thinks I'm super uptight and that her kid is an angel. Ugh.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life When I was in middle school, I played the flute and had a mullet. My flute teacher was one of those amazing teachers who stood up for me when I was bullied (I had a teacher and a bully who woulf hit me, call me names etc.) and really got me to look up to her as a person. I was also very good at the flute. 2nd chair to a girl who had been playing for years.

Final concert comes around, this solo would have made my f*****g life. 20 measures. All to myself. Front row. I practiced every day as soon as I got the music. F*****g K*LLED the audition and the girl hadn't practiced at all. But I lost it to her.

I'm a level headed guy, maybe I played off tempo or skipped a measure or something. But as I was runner up, I had to practice the part just in case the girl was absent. But as I was practicing in the sound proof room, I noticed I could hear my teacher and a bunch of girls talking.

1st chair girl: "Why didn't he get the solo? He is doing really good."
Teacher: "I can't let some funny kid with a mullet be the only person people look at. Its a good song, I don't want him to ruin it."

I dropped flute after that. Its one thing to be a guy who overcame the bullying for being a male flute player. Its another thing to have your role model undermine a passion.

I’m still salty about the time my music teacher in elementary school took my “dog tags”. Our mascot was a bulldog, so we had a school currency for good behavior. Once you earn them they can’t be taken away. So she gave them out to a few of us and said she didn’t want to see them or she would take them. Well we weren’t allowed to get up ( from the carpet), and I didn’t have pockets, so I hid them in my fist. This woman called on my to come up to the front of the class and answer a question. Then she saw a hint of them in my fist and took them. Still mad about it.

Happens with male clarinet players too. In high school there were only 2 of us guys in the band that played clarinet (think there were 6 or 8 total clarinet players). I was learning so i could jump to sax when i had the money to get one. Was borrowing my aunts clarinet until then.

I had to join band a little late in the year in 7th grade (I forget why) but I had been practicing the flute all summer before. Because I joined late, I had to be last chair. The boy who was first chair was a bully and said nasty things to me. When we did auditions for chair position in the middle of the school year, we swapped--I became first chair and he became last chair. I have no idea why he was even first chair to begin with. But the music teacher also later told me privately that my audition "blew everyone else out of the water" which really made my day!

The worst part about this is how the teacher told the other students - effectively encouraging them to exclude kids because of appearance. It’s one thing to do it and another thing to broadcast it to the kid’s peers.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Sometimes people are crazy. My son played flute. He stayed after school to practice and stopped to take my call. The teacher told him never to do that again. Now, it was just my son and I. The kid says looked at the teacher knowing how my son was. My son said, "I will always answer the phone for my mom". He stayed to the end of practice and never went back. Say her on campus and reiterated.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life One time I took a piece of cake to school as my lunch food. It was all I had for that day. One idiot decides because it's cake I have to share it. I explain that it's all the food I brought for this day and thus will not be sharing, he suddenly gets up and smashes his hand into my cake. I try to protect it but I was too slow. It also happened after the cafeteria closed so I had nothing to eat that day.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life My parents kept talking about getting rid of their piano but weren’t ready to. I said that since it was the one from my childhood that I grew up playing, and I didn’t have one, I’d like to have it. They could let me know when they were ready to part with it. They said it was too much of a pain to move (we lived a block away. You could have literally rolled it out the back door and up the street) and they didn’t want me paying a mover. So I said no worries, I’ll wait as long as you like. This went on for a year. It came up almost once a week. I’d ask if I could just come get it. They said no they weren’t ready. No worries. They’d bring it over sometime.

Then one day I came over and the piano was gone. I asked what was up and they said my cousin, who lives 3 hours away, had been looking for one for her daughters, so my dad had loaded it up into a truck he rented and personally delivered it.

My parents claimed they didn’t think I was interested in it.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life During dinner time as a child (around 6-9ish) my 3 siblings and I would have to finish our plates then ask our Mam for permission to leave the table, presumably to go do some dumb 6 year old stuff.

One time we had pasta and tuna (my favourite) so i wolfed it down in record time, strolled into the living room with my head held high and my chest puffed out, to inform my mother that It was time for me to be excused to go play Cool Spot on the Sega Megadrive.
As she followed me back into the dining room my plate was miraculously full of pasta and my older brother's was completely spotless, and despite my pleading for her to see reason my brother got to go upstairs and claim the Megadrive for himself and I had to sit through another helping of inedible pasta (since he had diabolically covered it in enough salt to dry up my tears).
I later found out that he had "paid off" my younger brother and sister to back him up with the promise of listening to his new Busted CD.

To this day I feel as though i harbour resentment towards him for his betrayal.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life My family went on holiday without me three years in a row when I was a teenager. Aged 16, my mum booked the holiday for when I was sitting my GCSEs so couldn't possibly go. She says we'll go somewhere good the next year. Next year rolls around and she books it for the week I have my AS levels and my driving test (test was booked 3 months in advance as waiting lists were so long). Following year she booked it for when I was doing my A levels. I was royally pissed that one week I could do with my mother's support she was gone. My friends had parents bringing them revision snacks and celebratory dinners after exams and I was home alone. Worst bit was my mum's a teacher so she knew when the exams would be and shouldn't have been going on holiday during term time herself.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life when I was like 8 years old I came into possession of a comic book. I don't remember what it was, all I can remember is how excited I was to open it up to read it. I had an older cousin who was around 14 and he demanded he read it first, even though it was mine. We got into a huge fight about it and for some reason all the adults who were around said I should share with him and let him read it first, so I begrudgingly let him. I sat across from him as he read the comic, and I swear he took his sweet a*s time. He took forever reading, and I waited patiently for him to finish. As soon as he finished, he got up, walked it over to me, and just as I reached out to read it, he ripped it up and shred it into pieces while laughing. To say I was pissed is an understatement; if I had a knife on me at that exact moment I swear I would have stabbed him.

This was over 30 years ago and anytime I run into the same cousin I say hi but immediately mutter to myself "you comic book ripping motherf**ker..." It's insane how much these little things stay ingrained in us.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life This trivia quiz I was a part of, at a nearby social club.

He asked the question. I knew the answer. I raised my hand. Someone in the other team shouted out the answer instead. They got the points and won. No one even stopped to look at me.

Screw you, idiotic quizmaster.

EDIT: Someone asked me what the question was. It was "2nd October is celebrated as Mahatma Gandhi's birthday all over India. But which other prominent leader was also born on the same day?" (The answer, as most Indians will know, is Lal Bahadur Shastri, the second Prime Minister.)

So no I wasn't very happy at the time. He then lied to the unemployment agency about why he fired me, thought I was going to lose my unemployment benefits. To find out that I was fired so he could hire a friend of his, who he ended up firing because he didn't like her attitude. Hmm maybe it wasn't her attitude that was the problem, peter, A H.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life A few years ago I ordered the Shrimp and Chicken Gumbo at Cheesecake Factory. It wasn’t until a few minutes into my entree that I noticed they forgot to add the shrimp. Well when we told our waitress, she started to accuse me of having eaten all the shrimp and was being very abrasive. Didn’t replace the order. Didn’t bring out any shrimp. A few minutes go by and we hear someone from a nearby table complaining to the same waitress and demanding their gumbo be remade because they asked for no shrimp. Pretty obvious the waitress got our orders mixed up but nope, the only logical explanation was that I picked out and ate all shrimp and was only complaining to get my meal comped. I still can’t go back...

We have a local restaurant where the manager got all pissy because a group of us dropped by in the middle of a slow afternoon for coffee. We had called ahead and explained that was all we were looking for and whomever answered said it would be fine. Been 5 years and I have never gone back.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life When I moved and had to leave the high school I was at I found out one of my teacher thought I was a smoker which is why they were always sh*tty to me.

No, my clothes just smell like s**t because my parents and brother both chain smoke and there was nothing I could do about it at the time.

I relate so much! I developed what I later found out was asthma at 16. Suddenly I couldn't run or exercise like I was used to. I went to my pediatrician who told me that she knew I was smoking and she had no help for me until I quit. I told her that my parents smoked, I had never even tried it. She told me she knew I was lying and she wouldn't see me again about my breathing until I quit smoking then ended the visit.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life My 7th grade English teacher accused me, in front of the class, of having copied a short story that I had written. It wasn't even loosely based on anything I had read prior to that, it was just well written. That episode led to a lot of mistrust of teachers thereafter. Its been about thirty years, but I still get steamed up when I think about it.

I can write really well, and teachers used to get at me for using technical language. Annoyed the living daylights out of me. So many just didn't believe that someone my age can do what I can. (For context, I'm in my early-mid teens)

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life Live in a community with an HOA. Was member in good standing, owed no dues or anything. Property manager didnt get pool pass mailed to me. 2 weeks into pool season, I'm pregnant. Manager says "its in the mail." I try to go to the pool to use it. Pool guy will not let me in. Prop manager says I cant go in until the pass arrives at my house even though she admits it is me on the phone, I have ID, and it is 2 weeks into pool season. Threatens to call the cops on me for being hostile.

WTF.

Will never understand why people buy property governed by HOA. One personality conflict and your entire time in that house is miserable.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life When I was a senior in high school, I wanted to be a National Honor Society officer. I was also in the marching band. The lady who in charge of NHS was also the librarian, and I spent my 5th period every day working in the library. Because I was already in NHS, she had me helping her doing a bunch of the stuff that an officer SHOULD have been doing (organizing records, keeping track of everyone's service hours, etc.) When it came time to choose officers for the following year, I thought "Hey, I'm a shoo-in, right? I've literally already been doing the job."

Nope. She decided not to let me be an officer because she didn't think someone in the band could have the time to really perform the duties, even though I'd been doing it for six months. Turned out she had some vendetta against the band because she thought we got too much special treatment.

F**k her.

I was once offered the chance to apply for a paid position I'd been doing as a volunteer for a charity. They had been training me for months and told me to apply, but they had to consider others because of what they called "fair competition". I thought I'd get it, I'd been with them for over a year, but my job role switched about 6 months in as they needed someone in this other role. In the end they chose someone else, and I left because I wasn't going to work for free after being offered a paid position. Joke's on them, though, as a few months after I left some of the management were caught embezzling funds to buy personal items like laptops and TVs.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life When I was like 6 or 7 I went to McDonald's with my grandmother and my teenage aunt and uncle.

My grandmother bought my uncle a full meal and made my aunt and I share a small fry.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life The sh*tty Hobbit trilogy.

Instead of returning to Middle Earth for a three hour tale recounting Bilbo's adventures to Lonely Mountain, they 'adapted' a ~300 page book into a gaudy, soulless trilogy in order to make three times the money.

Shame on them!

Not many times films are improved with follow ups. Terminator 2 is very good, but should have stopped there, I think. Same with Rocky. Toy Story is about the only one that seems to get better and better.
