In 7th grade this girl who liked the boy I was dating, decided she was going to hit me every time she saw me, in order to get the boy. At one point we were at a weekly event called teen night, we were standing directly in front of an adult and she was punching me, the adult was…

I’m not sure if you welcome submissions from people who have thin privilege, but this happened to me recently and i found it ridiculous.

Thin privilege is never having to deal with shit like this while you’re at work:
(I am working the reference desk. I have a great rapport with our patrons, and am often complimented for my positive attitude.)
