Re: No good deed goes unpunished

Minor, but it still really shocked me at the time:

I was in my freshman or sophomore high school Spanish class, and there was a girl in my class who was known for being...let's say tense and short with people. So people would tease her because she was easy to set off. They were probably jealous of how smart she was. So I always made a point to try to be nice to her and say hello and be patient with her when she'd get snippy. She and I were both in honors classes, so I understood she was probably over-reacting due to stress or something.

One day in class, right as it began, our teacher was having a warm-up exercise. Five of my classmates, including this girl, put their books down and went up to the board to do some translating. Well, as the girl was at the board, our teacher said she wanted us to pass our homework up to the front. Our teacher also had a policy that if you didn't turn homework in when she called for it, you'd lose points.

Well, I noticed that the girl had left her homework out on top of her books, so I thought, "Oh, I don't want her to lose points/get no credit, so I'll pass up her paper for her! One less thing for her to worry about."

A minute later, she sits down beside me and starts moving her stuff like she's looking for something. Then she asked me where her homework was.

"Oh, I turned it in for you while you were at the board!" I said with a smile.

Good lord, you'd would've thought I told her I killed her mom!!!

She started literally screaming at me! Why did I touch her things without permission!? Why did I move her stuff!? Why did I think it was okay to violate her space!?

I kept trying to tell her that I didn't want her to lose points, and I was sorry for upsetting her, but she wouldn't listen.

She kept going on and on at full volume, and the teacher came over like, "What the fuck is happening here???"

I told her my side of the story, and she looked at the girl like she was batshit since the teacher knew I had nothing but a good intention. She kept having to tell the girl to please calm down and told the girl that she's pretty sure she'd never have to worry about me "interfering" again. (The teacher was obviously saying this to placate the girl to get her to stop her hysterics.)

I never spoke to the girl again after that.

That sucks, but maybe there was something else going on there and that's why she overreacted. If she was bullied, maybe people liked to mess with her stuff or her parents were over critical and didn't respect her privacy, so she became very protective of anything that was hers and you were just a safe target for her anger.

That's what I assumed, but it didn't make the encounter any less surprising!
