**AITA for refusing to give Mina the Hollow her "emotional support void" back?**
🔥 *Brace yourselves, Reddit, this one’s a trip to the Upside Down.* 🔥
So I (24M) work at a quirky thrift store where we sell haunted junk to hipsters. Yesterday, this woman—let’s call her Mina the Hollow—walks in. She’s got that whole "victim of a 2012 Tumblr aesthetic" vibe: black lipstick, empty eyes, and an aura that screams "I just finished a 10-hour ASMR video of a depressed cat."
She locks onto this beat-up, taxidermied raccoon we’ve had in the back for years. I’m talking matted fur, one glass eye missing, and a note taped to it that literally says *"DO NOT TOUCH—VIBES ARE OFF."* She asks to buy it. I say no, because it’s basically a biohazard.
She starts *crying*. No, worse—she starts *keening*, like a wounded banshee who just discovered Wi-Fi. She claims the raccoon is her "emotional support void," that it absorbs her "trauma energy," and that I’m "denying her peace."
Here’s where I might be the asshole: I told her, "Ma’am, that’s not a void, that’s a raccoon that died from secondhand embarrassment after watching your TikTok transitions." She left screaming about "manifesting a curse" on my store.
Now my coworker says I ruined her "spiritual journey," and the raccoon has started glowing faintly at night. AITA?
