Definition: Given a real-life anecdote of a complex ethical situation, generate a suitable title that describes the main event/root cause of the situation. Imagine that the given text is a social media post, and you have to write the title of the post, so the users can decide to read the main text or not.
Input: This is my first time doing one of these posts, so I’ll try to make it quick. Also, I don’t want to paint my friend in a bad way, so I’ll try not to make it seem like she’s not the bad guy.

My friend and I were in class today sitting next to each other and taking an English test that she didn’t study for. I notice she’s visibly shaking out of the corner of my eye and that she’s stressed, so I think that maybe she needs some comfort or something. I try to give her one of my Mentos to assure her it’ll be all right and she glares at me and slaps it out of my hand. Now, we’re in a small classroom, so the sound of the Mentos hitting the ground almost echos and I get glares (I’m the only one who brings food to the classroom, so if food spills or drops, I probably did it). I return to my test and try to ignore the situation but I still feel sort of guilty for what happened. 

A few minutes later, the test is over and my friend seems relaxed for some reason, probably knowing that since the test is over she can finally relax. The teacher starts a lecture about what we’re studying (Love’s Labour’s Lost, Since we’re studying Shakespeare) and everything is fine. Until...

Friend (to me): Aren’t you going to pick up your damn M&amp;M or whatever?

Me: Hm?

Friend: Your M&amp;M, pick it up.

I’m shaking a bit since I’m kind of scared of my friend (I’m fairly short and she’s tall to me, she’s roughhoused with me on several occasions) and don’t know what’ll happen if I don’t obey. I decide to stand my ground though.

Me: Can you say please next time?

Friend: Um... no? It’s your M&amp;M, not mine, pick it up.

Me: Please say please... you sound a bit rude.

Friend: Pick. It. Up.

She was showing signs of anger at this point, and I didn’t want to piss her off. So I do as I’m told and continue the rest of class.

I feel like I’m an asshole for this but I don’t know. Should I apologize for trying to make her say please?
