What's the longest you ever held a grudge?

Since 2007, Pizza Hut. They screwed up big time with having my order delivered after 75 minutes. I was 20 minutes from their location. I called the store to complain and the manager said, "so what?". I said where is my discount due to it being so late? He told me to get lost. I told him him the same thing and haven't ordered from them since.
 
I'm ignoring a FB friend request right now from someone who stole thousands of dollars of my stuff, much of which I couldn't replace, just so she and a friend could get weed.

Daughter of former landlady.
On house-arrest.
Living downstairs in the house where I rented the upstairs.
2004.
I'm sure I posted a thread about it.
 
28 years. super bowl xxv when the giants beat the bills. But earlier in the game they should have been called on a foul but the refs overlooked it. Hated the giants since.
 
Footlocker, but not so much a grudge. More just a "I'll never shop there again".

In college, I played pickup soccer and wanted to get a new pair of cleats. Thinking an athletic footwear store would carry them, I converted some credit card points to a gift card to the store. The store in Chicago didn't carry cleats, and then proceeded to helpfully suggest I go to the Sports Authority. I pointed out that they obviously don't take Foot Locker gift cards.

Resigned to online shoe shopping hell, I found something on their site that seemed okay. Order it - box arrives several days later with one correct cleat and one lacrosse cleat. Start the exchange fun: second box gets lost; third box is the wrong size. Then they tell me the size is out of stock and I have to pick something else out.

Picked out a different pair, but they offer nothing for my inconvenience with this affair. At least that arrives with no issue. But the whole process took over 3 weeks from my initial store visit.

So I wrote a letter to their corporate office to complain. I got an apology from them and a $50 gift card, the very thing that precipitated the adventure. I was pretty pissed off at the time, so I bought some stuff just under the amount of the gift card, left the remainder on tbe counter and have since refused to shop there.
 
My brother and his dumb friend for messing with the carb on my 69 Chevy Malibu and catching the motor on fire while I was in basic training. 30 odd years ago.

No way am I buying him the Ferrari he wants until he replaces it with as good or better !
 
About 10 years against Rite Aid. I had a regular prescription i picked up there and i picked one months supply as normal.

I went to take a evening dose of my medication and the label and everything as usual claimed it was the proper medication so i open the bottle put a pill in my hand and almost pop it into my mouth until i saw it was a bit smaller then usual.

I find the pill isn't my usual horse sized pill so i check the label on pill and check on the web to find out it was a heart medication pill!

Never again with Rite Aid.
 
+17 years. It was that long before I decided to start talking to one person in my family again (and not any of the others). But folks from Rhode Island are known for holding grudges.
 
maybe ... Costco ... since 2004

My first ever visit to the store, I was curious to find out what the newly opened facility contained, and had time to kill before my doctor appointment, so ... I parked outside and walked into the large garage-door open on the store's front corner. Two steps in, some store employee asked me to go back out and instead enter the smaller human-sized doors nearby. Annoyed, I refused to jump through hoops to enter the place, so I said "Nevermind", did a 180, and returned to my car.
Never darkened the door of a Costco since. They need to learn to be more welcoming.

Probably so they could police memberships. Person checking was probably at that door. I'm pretty sure they do that at checkout now but BJ's Wholesale Club (a direct competitor) was still doing it at the door last I checked.
