AITJ for snapping when my friends kept making fun of me over a soda?
So we were sitting around after game night at my friend Aaron’s apartment and somehow the conversation turned into “weird human habits.” I don’t even remember how. Someone spilled popcorn everywhere, the dog was licking the couch cushions, total chaos honestly
Anyway, I said I absolutely hate sharing drinks with people. Like genuinely. The second I see little crumbs or backwash floating around I’m done. I’d rather stay thirsty
Then Aaron goes, “But you literally make out with people.”
And everybody started laughing like he’d caught me in some huge contradiction. I laughed too at first because okay fair, but then they KEPT going with it. One friend started pretending to guard her cup from me and another said I was “selectively germophobic” which… maybe? I don’t know
I tried explaining that kissing feels completely different than accidentally sipping somebody’s half-chewed pizza particles through a straw. It just does. It’s not the same thing in my brain at all
Then Aaron actually handed me his soda and said “face your fears” like this was some kind of intervention. I just stood there like… what
I got annoyed and told them maybe people should stop acting entitled to other people’s drinks just because they don’t understand boundaries
Now they’re acting like I overreacted and made it awkward. Maybe I did a little. Still feels weird though
