A Snobby Girl In Her Class Kept Posting TikToks Rating People’s Belongings, So She Called Her Out On Her Rude Behavior
by Mila Cardozo
Unfortunately, sometimes you come across people who are a bit too out of touch.
In this case, a girl shares how a classmate started posting TikToks rating people’s belongings and even blatantly calling them “poor.”
She asked her to take a video of hers down and she refused, so she gave her a reality check.
Was she too harsh in her approach?
Let’s find out.
AITA for telling a girl to check her privilege?
My school made the switch from paper to laptops/iPads two years ago, and since then you can really see whose parents have money.
This sounds like a great opportunity for bullies to pick their next targets.
I’m currently using some Asus my uncle gave me because my family is below the poverty line, he bought it in 2011.
Although the battery is shot, it still runs and Word works so I don’t need much else.
There is a pretty big financial divide in my town, and thus a large divide in the school, which is one of two secondary schools.
Someone was about to disturb the peace…
A girl in my class posted a TikTok where she was rating people’s laptops/iPads.
She recorded mine which was plugged in with its external hard drive and you could very clearly see the left side of the screen that is broken.
She rated it a -3/10, wrote “Poor girl” and zoomed in on my shoes to prove a point.
My shoes are fine they’re just not Air Force 1s.
Other laptops that weren’t the latest MacBook or the latest iPad got rated pretty low.
This is not funny and it made her extremely uncomfortable.
One of my friends showed me her video, and I confronted her about it.
She seems really sheltered and I asked her to take it down.
She refused, so I told her that it’s incredibly classist and I don’t want that on the internet.
She still refused and I got madder each time. Eventually, I just said, “check your ******* privilege, not everyone can afford a €2000 laptop and not everyone ******* prioritizes flashy over functional.”
What a mic drop! I think she will not be forgetting that anytime soon.
She hasn’t taken down the video, and my friend who showed me it says I overreacted and that made me an ******.
She said that “she’s just sheltered” and I shouldn’t overreact like that.
AITA?
Bullies (and the world) can only benefit from such reality checks.
Let’s see if Reddit agrees.
A reader shares their thoughts.
Not a nice person!
This person shares a good point.
Someone gives her advice.
Another reader chimes in.
This commenter shares their point of view.
This is another good point to consider.
Sadly for her, you can’t buy common sense.
If only.
