Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I go to a boarding school and recently we had our annual school race. You can walk or run the race and a lot of people walk. My school is divided into separate boarding houses (roughly 50 people per house) and there's a competition on which house is the fastest in the race. I walk the race instead because I'm really bad at long distance runs and just really like walking in the countryside. 


Some people got annoyed at me when the house came second in the competition and said that I didn't have "house spirit" and that if I ran the race our house might have won. I told them that they shouldn't tell me that I don't have "house spirit" considering that in the house singing competition barely anyone took it seriously despite that it was optional to join so they should have been more committed than I was in the compulsory race. Also, in the singing competition I tried hard to teach them how to sing, I played the piano and did everything just to get us on stage, and none of them apologised to me afterwards for messing around.


AITA?
