Today, while in class, my friend would not stop annoying me by tapping me on the shoulder every so often. After the fifth time, I lost my patience, told him to F off, and slapped his hand. Only it wasn't my friend tapping my shoulder this time, it was my teacher. FML

Just explain the situation and you should be fine.

In middle school there was this girl who sat behind me. In class she kept ramming her desk into the back of my chair. I allowed this to go on for a few weeks (shame on me) and talking to her did no good. One day I just had enough, I turned around yelled "Just ******* stop it!" And slapped her arm so hard it bruised. She went and complained to the principal and I explained what had happened. The principal brought the teacher in as a witness. The teacher told him that the girl was rocking her chair and pinched her arm in between her desk and the back of my chair, and gave me a wink like "don't worry, I got your back". Best. Teacher. Ever!

I had a friend pull my hair every day and I kept warning her to stop. Well one day she did it in the bathroom and I didn't even think before I slapped the **** outta her. Left a handprint and I was only a third grader. The teacher wrote me up and made it seem like I was a big bully who picked on small kids. She was a grade behind me because she got held back and we were the same size! Her mom said I should've hit her harder. Never heard from her again after that. We all have our limits.

If you can't handle that everyone is different and has different reactions then maybe YOU need to see a therapist

Did I say you should "like" it? No, I just suggested getting some help so you didn't have such strong negative reactions to innocuous stimuli. You don't have to let your past abuse continue to rule how your body responds to a simple tap on the shoulder.

you know, it isn't that important... i hate being touched, too, and you know what i did? i stopped caring about it, stopped getting angry about it, and i stopped doing anything about it. people will be people, and if they must touch, then whatever. they don't mean anything malicious about it. because, compared to everything else, not liking to be touched is just too minor to get militant over... but, that's my opinion. you may call me a troll, but everyone has their own methods on dealing with it. i got perspective over the whole thing, and deemed the touch phobia too silly to maintain.

that is a great story! if your teacher doesn't think so, tell him to f off again!

YDI. You shouldn't have slapped your friend, either, nor tell him to F off.

My friends are the ones who get told to **** off the most.

I resent your comment. Not all Missourians exploded at the wrong person, just like I'm sure where ever you are, people do the same. Sincerely, the people of Missouri.

I'd say YDI, because if this was in class you should've been paying attention to the teacher in the first place.

23: Yes, because it's so easy to pay attention when someone keeps constantly, and annoyingly, tapping you in the shoulder. Everyone has their limits.

Think about a classroom. Where is your attention? Teacher is talking, you are most likely listening or taking notes. So unless OP is doing something like texting in class and not paying attention and his/her friend is tapping to say "Hey, incoming teacher" but I could be horribly wrong if this wasn't during class time.
