AIBU to want an apology after a colleague injured my ankle?

Your username is quite fitting for the explanation of your question. I would imagine OP was wearing heels and when this troll came barging through the door and knocked into the OP, she stumbled, twisted her ankle and her shoe came off.

Seen it many times whilst out on a Saturday night when people have had too much to drink. It’s really not difficult to imagine 🙄.

I’m guessing you are feeling a bit sad and pissed off that you didn’t get to run in the GNR today. It’s unfortunately just one of those things. An accident and bad timing.

Don’t waste your time to trying to explain it. I despair at how utterly dense some people are that they can’t possibly fathom how this incident has occurred! You’d be better off explaining it to the snail on my garden path.

How did you manage to get X rays and see a doctor so quickly? Did you attend A and E? If so there will be records of it.

absolutely this of course

she might find it funny
I would get time off out of it

The door didn’t open into OP, the woman bumped into her when rushing

Op said she flung the door open, so presumably she didn’t just open the door normally. If she’s knocked OP off her feet she’s come rushing through like a idiot and the door has opened with some force into the OP?

I have been in a similar situation at work before in the ladies toilets. There’s a particular colleague who refuses to touch the door handles so she kicks the door to the main toilet open and then again goes and kicks the cubicle doors too before using toilet paper to close the latch. The main toilet door is a fire door in our workplace so it’s heavy and she has to kick it with a lot of force to open it. It’s solid so you can’t see through it, I was coming out of the main toilet as she was coming in and she smacked me in the face with the door! I didn’t see her and wasn’t expecting her to be kicking a door into my face at the time. So these people really do exist unfortunately!

It’s reasonable to wear comfortable well fitting shoes in the work place, that’s incredibly basic.

And you can’t judge she’d have hurt herself if she’d just stumbled backwards and not fallen out of the shoe, she fell out of the shoe awkwardly. Regardless it did fall off so it doesn’t matter

Agreed. So much gaslighting going on here.

It doesn’t matter. If you are injured at work on their premises then you can legally claim compensation. As long as a doctor has seen the injury and logged it on their records. Just like a burglar can claim against a home owners insurance if they are hurt on their property. Mad but true!

I'm not so sure about that. I don't think it's reasonable to expect people to go through a scenario where, when they get dressed in the morning, they think in terms of, well, I had better put on really secure shoes in case someone pushes me down.

It sounds as though the OP would have been injured even if her shoes had stayed on.

Did you submit an accident in work form?

Because it was, doesnt matter what occurred , it happened in work

Im not an ambulance / compo chaser, but I have worked with so many over the years who have been hurt in the workplace - daft accidents - but have been left struggling later on

I’d be surprised if this worked for OP, she fell out of her own shoes which must have been unsuitable.

I don’t really understand the value in a forced and not-genuine apology. If they aren’t sorry, they aren’t sorry. Making them say sorry doesn’t mean they’re sorry.

Agreed. You need to log it as a work place injury and contact a solicitor about claiming for an injury that happened at work. HR will get involved and set up a meeting. It won’t be funny when it starts costing them money. My friend was barged into at work and fell over a cone in the hallway. It was when they introduced a one way system and coned off lots of space. He damaged his knee and took a long time off work to recover. HR are involved and he is claiming compensation from the works insurance as he was injured on site. You should do the same.

I had a "minor" issue like this turn into something serious. If it's not getting better, please get it seen to. And there will be some people with disabilities in most workplaces. Even my 7 year old knows not to run into places without checking it's clear.
Sounds like you don't work with nice people. Are they the kind that say bet you're fun at parties if you complain about their "banter", too?

Say yes in the staff room with everyone there, yes it's great that
I have been in pain and had to have x-rays so all of my colleagues can have a good laugh- I wish you all to have hilarious injuries so I can be similarly entertained.

This. Report the accident.

Your post is a bit full of hyperbole, "flying in", "flung the door open" then you fell out of your shoes? nobody should laugh but you sound a bit drama llama

I agree that it indicates that, it doesn’t mean she was running. She flung the door open… doesn’t mean she ran through it. It’s a clumsy accident

You were injured at work so did you report it as such ?

Fair enough, I misread - but either way, it was an accident. They both bumped into each other and unfortunately OP took the brunt of it and got injured.

Not ideal but I’m not sure how an apology several weeks later is going to help.

Where did OP say she was standing directly behind the door - she said she was coming out of the room.

What sort of shoes do you fall out of?

If you have an issue speak to the individual or raise it with management.

I would apologise if it was me to be fair, but maybe they think you are also in the wrong somewhat.
