"It's Uncomfortable, Please Don't Touch Others' Belongings"
"She Monopolized the Outlet Alone," a Rebuttal

A complaint was posted in a university library community claiming that a fellow student used her charger without permission while she briefly left her seat. However, it was later revealed that the student who posted the complaint had actually 'monopolized' the power outlet, preventing others from plugging in their chargers, which became a hot topic.

On the 16th, a post titled "(Library) Female student who used someone else's charger without permission while they were away" was uploaded on a university community accessible only to students. The author, A, said, "It's really uncomfortable, so please don't touch other people's things from now on," adding, "Not touching others' belongings is basic common sense."


At first glance, the post seems relatable. The moral principle that one should not use others' belongings without permission is deeply ingrained in us. However, B, presumed to be the female student targeted by the post, responded directly in the comments. She claimed that A monopolized the power outlet that should have been shared by multiple people.


B explained the situation, saying, "A was using two out of the four available outlets alone for several hours, so others couldn't charge their devices. When I asked A if she was using both outlets, she replied that both chargers were in use because her batteries were dead. Common sense dictates that one person should use only one outlet, but she didn’t understand the point of my question."


A continued, "A monopolized the charger alone for several hours. I had no battery left, and when A left her seat, I removed her charger and charged my phone. Of course, I left a note asking for understanding." She added, "At first, A said 'Okay,' but 30 minutes later, she accused me of using the charger without permission. I don’t understand why she didn’t say she was upset from the beginning and only complained later." B also left a rebuttal post filled with profanity and harsh language.



Netizens who came across this story are debating fiercely over the side that monopolized the charger and B’s aggressive defense and attack filled with strong language.
