for those of you who "made it" in science and math, how bitter are you toward former bullies? I have a story to share.

>be me
>dumb fucking kid at age 8
>allegedly tell some chick from my class or grade who said she wanted to be a scientist that "girls cant be scientists"
>this will come up later
>do ok in school, go into trade
>become an automechanic, decently comfy life with wife and warhammer games on the weekend when I can, listening to philosophy books and shit when I'm fixing people's cars
>have my own house at 27
>First kid at 28
>second kid at 30
>2019
>I'm 31
>go to an anniversary for my highschool graduating class
>some chick I barely recognize comes up to me
>HEY ANON REMEMBER ME
>no
>WHEN WE WERE 8 YEARS OLD BLAH BLAH BLAH
>ok sure i guess
>WELL I WORK AT FUCKING CAMBRIDGE NOW HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT
>hey, that's great! congratulations, your hard work paid off, jenny(her name is christine)
>wife comes up
>"honey whats going on, whose this?"
>"I dunno, I think we used to trade pokemon cards or something"
>walk away
>keep catching her staring at me, absolutely seething and I raise a beer to her in a cheers sign

Why the fuck was she able to carry hate like that for like, 19 years? I don't even remember what the fuck happened six months ago in detail. Do you people fantasize about this shit? What was I supposed to do, melt into a puddle of slime or burst into flame? I have bills to pay and three mouths to feed. The moral of the story as far as I can guess is that reunions are fucking retarded and a waste of time
