Not weird to me. I still remember every single teacher’s name to this day…I started school in 1978.

I remember all my teacher's names from preschool through high school, is that strange?

Trauma sticks with a person.

We don’t know that was why they denied it, this could be shadenfreud (sp?) because they would be denied regardless.

At least I choose to believe that, because I can’t imagine being petty enough to do that.

Oh my god, yes. Your best victory is the victory of succeeding at something and moving the fuck on with your life if you can. People are shitty. Our environment is shitty. It is what it is. Keep trucking. I am a product of my environment, but I can control some of it. In my opinion, chasing your goals, time and distance is a solution for all social ills. Well maybe not all but I mean shit you gotta try

Right? "Made me cry on a school trip" (for reasons that I'm sure we're totally out of line on the teacher's part and omitted just for brevity's sake)

This type of thing is the nominal purpose of credit scores, I believe. (Whether they're implemented effectively is another story...)

You're going to send your kids to these schools. And as we start lowering the bar more and more, we're going to have some very anti-social human beings around people's children. And those children are going to become citizens in our society. Hurt people, hurt people, in which they shouldn't. You should break the cycle and overthrow kings. There is a reason why things are the way they are. And if not aware, you can become a product of your environment.

They didn't say they rejected it out of revenge.

Maybe the teacher was a shitty mortgage applicant with terrible credit and multiple foreclosures and the fact that they got to reject the application was just the cherry on top.

Depends on the circumstances. One might feel a bit smug when karma strikes back as long as one acts professionally. The teacher might have gotten rejected for absolute objective and normal reasons. Like thousands of people do.

And after handling that professionally the poster can humanely feel smug and happy for a short moment in their otherwise likely stressful adult life. And that's okay.

By profession (emergency medicine with a stint in forensic mental health) I get into contact with some really bad people who have done really nasty things. Will I treat them as professionally as I treat every patient? Yes. But there are moments. Years ago I responded to a patient getting bitten in his ass by a police dog(as in the dog literally did bite a seizable piece of meat out of it)after fleeing a scene of a DUI stop(and punching a young police officer). At the same time as we arrive the detective superintendent arrives(as it is protocol here in these cases when someone gets injured by police directly). He is a fairly nice chap I went to school with - and who was relentlessly bullied by a guy a few grades above us. Like...really really bad...to a level that would land one in prison these days. Well, the world is small and guess who Mr. Dogfood was.

Well. We did our job as professionally as we do it with everyone. But when the patient was handed over in hospital we had a good chuckle, cracked a few bad jokes somewhere no member of the public could hear us,asked each other how the respective wives were doing and went on with our workday. And that's okay.

Mortgage applications are not yes or no. There is a checklist that if met, gets approved. The name doesn’t even matter. Just basic credit bullshit.
