After reading this Twitter thread about holding grudges, I feel so much better about being a petty binch

I still hope you die, Michaela from summer camp

Grudges are beautiful. They're some of the most fun a person can have without taking their clothes off. Grudges can last generations.

Yesterday, Nicole Cliffe asked Twitter to reveal their grudges and boy, did Twitter deliver. Here are some of the best grudges of all time.

I am starting a new thread for "tell me your oldest, most cherished grudge."
