Building a Case

(verb)

The act of mentally collecting and storing every minor annoyance, slight, or shady move someone makes—without confronting them—instead choosing to silently stew and let resentment quietly pile up over time. Eventually, the collection of grievances becomes so vast and emotionally charged that you end up completely resenting the person, often without them even realizing they were on trial in the first place.

Basically the butterfly effect of hatred. One unwashed dish becomes the foundation for a full psychological prosecution.
"I didn’t say anything when she was late... or when she borrowed my hoodie and never gave it back... but now she breathes too loud and I want to scream. I think I’ve been building a case."

(The submission form wanted me to use the word 'spongebob case' in the example. But it didn't serve the joke, and the meme is widely known, hence this unnecessary text. Ideally the editor will remove this text before publication.)
