Teasing amongst friends is common, but some sensitivity is often needed.

This woman explained to her friends why she couldn’t take the bus home, but they made fun of her and called her a “princess.”

Now she’s wondering if she’s wrong for standing up for herself.

Read the whole story below.

AITA for arguing with friends when they told me I was overreacting about a bus ride

I (19F) and my friends are university students.

We are studying the same degree.

Today, one of them suggested that we should hang out on Friday because one of our professors made a schedule change, so now we have a lecture from 5 pm to 7 pm on Friday.

This woman and her friends couldn’t agree on where to hang out.

At first, we all agreed to hang out in the city where one of us lives.

It is also close to where I live.

Then, one friend suggested we hang out in the city where our university is located.

And this is where she lives.

She can’t hang out because her brother needs the car.

Here comes the problem.

I don’t live in a city.

I live in a small town, so I always drive to university, but on Fridays, my brother needs the car at 8 pm sharp.

They told her to take the bus.

So, I said that I couldn’t go for that reason, because I needed to take the car back home.

So, they told me to take a bus to university instead of taking the car.

But it’s too time-consuming.

The thing is that I need to first walk 20 minutes to the train station.

Then, take a 10-minute train ride to arrive at the city.

Then, take a bus for another 50 minutes.

All that just to hang out after class for one and a half hours.

Then, repeat the same thing back again to get to my house.

They said she was overreacting about taking public transport.

I explained all this to them.

And they said I was overreacting over taking the bus.

They said it was nothing and that I was such a “princess” because I don’t take public transport.

They said I always use the car.

She stood her ground.

This is absolutely untrue.

I only take the car to go to university.

The car is my parents’ and not mine.

So, AITA for sticking up for myself? And for getting angry at them for saying such things?

These friends don’t sound very friendly. She’s not missing out on anything by not hanging out with them after class.

Let’s see what others have to say about this on Reddit.

This person perfectly understands her.

This person has a similar thought.

Your classmates are clueless, says this person.

People are siding with her.

And finally, an honest opinion about the friends.

True friends would understand a friend’s struggles.
