Inclusion

          Let me set up the scene. Our class was tasked to do a swatchbook for a paper company, as such, we needed to order whatever paper we needed from the company, and so I did, I placed an order by myself, as soon as I confirmed what I wanted. After the fact, a couple of other classmates also placed orders by themselves, following my example, none of us really thinking twice about it. Now, after this, the class decided: Hey, why don't we make a form and we can all fill in our orders? Then we can order it together! I thought: Eh, this didn't involve me, they ordered without asking me for the test print anyway, they won't miss me now. The order was placed today, and some papers were out of stock. Tons of phone calls and messages on multiple phones to sort out everyone's individual orders, a problem that could have been solved so easily if they were to have ordered individually.

          Now here comes the problem. Apparently, I was being SELFISH for ordering without them. Apparently, being an autonomous human being with free will is too much of an ask for them. APPARENTLY, being in the same class meant I had to be part of their morphed hybrid of a monstrosity. I was asked in class why I ordered alone, and why I didn't ask them, and I replied that I ordered alone for my test print as well, and that this didn't concern the whole class, just me and my timetable. I thought it was a flippant observation, turns out she was greatly offended by my exclusion. Why? Do you not have fingers? Can you not place a simple order? Why must things be done as a group? What would you do if left alone without instructions? Stand and die of thirst because nobody said "Let's go have a drink"?

          My god, how entitled are you to want others to go along with your schedule? How entitled would I be if I asked everyone to order when I wanted to order? Or maybe that wasn't the point, maybe the point was why didn't I ask you if you wanted to order with me? Well the answer is: Why would I? Do you need the whole class to be able to press the send email button? Are you that lazy that ordering your own paper would cause you that many problems?

          Another thing is: Selfishness. How in god's green earth am I taking anything away from you by ordering my own god damn paper? How is that selfish in any way shape or form? Are you crippled and can't order your paper? Ok, my bad for not helping you order. Are you stuck in an internetless hole? Ok, my bad for not helping you send the order email. Wait, you mean you're perfectly capable of sending emails and receiving phone calls? WELL BLOODY DO IT THEN YA NONCE. It's not like we set up a secret paper ordering club and excluded you and you alone, we INDIVIDUALLY ordered papers for OURSELVES, it just so happened to be before the group order. IF YOU WANTED THE PAPER EARLIER YOU SHOULD HAVE ORDERED EARLIER.

          I'm repeating myself but it's because I just can't get over how STUPID and ENTITLED you are to call me SELFISH for doing something that doesn't affect you in any way shape or form. I don't want to delay my paper ordering process by including 10 other people. My bad. Ugh. You're all so juvenile. Selfish, really? Hello pot, meet kettle.
