I was in the supermarket just now and reached to take a bottle for a shelf. Further along the shelf a glass bottle fell and smashed on the floor. Don't know whether I was responsible or not (I want to say not but realise it doesn't matter) but I turned immediately to look for a member of staff to help clean it up. I was aware of a woman standing next to me glaring at me and another behind me with her jaw ajar but was focused on getting help as there was broken glass on the floor. Caught the eye of someone and said "A bottle has smashed on the floor" He jumped up, sealed off the area and began to clean up, I went to move off and continue my shopping. Glaring Woman was still looking me up and down so I looked at her and she says: I am waiting for an apology (there were two specks of liquid on her shoes from the bottle). I muttered "Oh I'm sorry" but I am soooooo upset. I have been in a situation before where someone's child broke a bottle and she didn't know what to do and I said don't worry these things happen I'll go and get someone to help. So, AIBU to think that in any crises you look to see if you can help and if you can then do so but if you can't then back the f off and take your slack-jawed yokel friends with you. (In defence I am very pre-menstrual and this incident may not have even registerd with me on a different day so maybe I just need a grip)

AIBU?
to think look to see if you can help and if you can't move along now.
