Has there ever been a time in your life when it felt like nothing was going your way and any minor inconvenience would set you off?

One woman recently felt like this and, as a result, got into a fight with a woman over a donut. 

She’s 20-years-old and recently had a very tough week. She had gotten into a fight with some of her family members, broke up with her partner, and found out she had gotten bad grades on some of her school assignments. Sounds rough, right?

“Due to that, my tolerance for stuff is a little less high than usual,” she explained. 

To try and cheer herself up, she headed to the famous Canadian coffee shop chain Tim Horton’s for one of her favorite sweet treats, a chocolate coconut donut. 

By the time she got to the front of the line, only one chocolate coconut donut was left. As she was ordering it, a middle-aged woman interrupted her and asked if she could buy the donut for her daughter. 

The woman politely explained that it was her daughter’s 14th birthday and that donut was her favorite kind, so she asked if she could please have it.

Then, the woman said their family had been struggling and that the donut would make her daughter’s day. 

She explained to the woman that she was really looking forward to the donut herself, so she asked if she could cut it in half and give her one half for her daughter.

That’s when the woman snapped and said, “It’s a cheap thing to do, to only give half a donut. You are so stuck up. Can you not suck it up and just let me have the donut? She’s really looking forward to it.”

The woman’s sudden rudeness made her snap as well. She turned to the woman and told her that she tried to be polite, but she’s also been having a really hard week. Then, she said that she should’ve gotten to the shop earlier if she wanted the donut so badly. 

Her outburst caused a bit of a scene in the store.

“The rest of the people in line sighed at me and looked angry,” she remembered.

The woman then told her that she was a working single mom and her job wouldn’t allow her to leave early. Tired of fighting, she paid for the donut, kept it to herself, and walked out of the store.

Now, she’s wondering if she should’ve just given the woman the donut for her daughter, despite how rude she was.

Should she have given up the donut?
