The user continued, "This girl i go to school with (F17) is the most obnoxious girl i have ever met. she likes to compare our disablities and say hers are worse without ever actually disclosing what she has. I physically cant walk without supports, she can walk just fine. she will inturupt class to talk to the teacher about personal issues. everyone ive talked to about her has disliked her as well."
'She complains about her box all the time'
The user then explained about the girl's disabilities and wrote, "She is fully capable of using a backpack but she instead uses this box. a rolling box that gets in everyones way and is always a mess. last time i saw it, it had trash from a field trip we went on a month ago. it always gets in the way and gets upset when i need the accessible class seats cause i physically cannot walk. she complains about her box all the time."
He then added, "I will also use noise canceling headphones when sounds are too overwhelming and she'll come to me and say shit like "its not fair you can use them when the school says headphones arent allowed in class." shes reported me to security for wearing my favorite ninja turtles hoodie to school cause it has weapons on it."
'You do not need that God damn box'
The teen then wrote about when a small agrument took place between them, "One day i sat in the accessible seat in my chemistry class. its low to the ground with shorter seats to accommodate wheelchairs and a clamp on the side to hold crutches/canes in place. i sat down and as soon as this girl came in she started getting all mad at me. she said 'one day im gonna get here before you to get that seat. i need the extra space for my box.' ive been dealing with her for 5 years at this school and i finally had it with her shit. i looked at her and started yelling 'oh my f**king god dude. you do not need that goddamn box.'"
The user then wrote, "You are not special. shut up please i hate you stop acting like were friends we are not. i hate you so much leave me alone. you annoy me so much. i need this more than you i cant walk dude." He added, "I had tears dripping down my face from how angry i was. she started crying and left the room taking the BACKPACK she kept in that goddamn box." In the end, the 16-year-old wrote, "My friend walked me out of the room and took me on a walk around the school to calm down a bit. i feel really bad about what i did but i dont know if im the asshole or if i went about it the right way. Am i the asshole?
'She's being incredibly selfish'
As soon as the post went online, people brutally slammed the girl and wrote, "NTA. She's being incredibly selfish." Another user noted, "You are NTA at all i have me/cfs its not a joke at all it sucks big time and mist people wont or will not understand Im jumping on top comment because if you see this and need someone to talk to im here and i can give you a few support groups that can help too Sending love."
Someone else added, "And why can't she just get one of those backpack with rolls and a handle to extent. Why a fucking big box to store a backpack? To get attention and be the special one? This giel sounds awful and i can understand that OP just lost it at one point. Every day of selfish remarks was a waterdrop in his patiens glass and someday the the glass is full. NTA."
