when i first entered secondary school, i was appointed as my class vice chairperson. all my duties were essentially me acting against my own interests since i didn't want to be chairperson to begin with. i had to wake up early to open up the classroom, and i had to stay back to close the classroom doors during recess or after school. i also had to bring up a box to collect everyone's phones and bring them back down, every morning and every day after school. the duties themselves were manageable, at least. my classmates favoured the class chairperson, so they'd leave the classroom when he asked, and they didn't bat an eyelid whenever he sauntered in to open the doors late. however, they would loiter in the classroom to chat with their friends when i was the one with the keys, and they'd yell at me if i didn't come early. as a result, i was more than happy to be demoted to a class secretary the following year. they bothered me much less after that.
