At the end of our flight to our holiday destination the plane landed and taxied along the runway. I took my reading glasses off and put my sunglasses on my head ready for the blazing sunshine when we left the plane. The second the seat belt signs were switched off, a woman a few rows back leapt up and came and stood by my seat, opened the overhead locker .... and dropped her hand luggage on my head. "Whoops" she said, "that was heavier than I thought". "Sorry".
I was stunned, in more ways than one, and swore, several times, not at her, but generally, whilst checking that my sunglasses had not been broken. She said again "Well I've said I'm sorry" and then stomped off back to her seat.
Now, I know that what she wanted me to do, and what I probably should have done was say "Oh don't worry about it" thereby absolving her of any guilt. What I wanted to do was rant at her about the stupidity of people like her who ignore all the warnings about taking care when using the overhead lockers and who simply have to be first up when the seat belt signs go out despite the fact that they can't go anywhere and end up having to wait for the whole plane to empty before the buses set off for the terminal.
So in the end I didn't do anything except rummage in my handbag and swear under my breath.
And my head still hurts.
