Oh gosh ... I've wanted to post this ALL DAY but no time and wanted to be on the laptop.
I had an awful experience last night, I had gone out with an ex colleague from work and she also had two friends with her to celebrate her birthday, I knew one of them vaguely but hadn't met the other one at all.
I had been drinking but was not drunk, I had had two and a half glasses of wine at this point!
The thing is, I cut my hand, quite badly, I didn't notice at first because it was in the fleshy part where my thumb is. It didn't hurt so I only noticed as I stood up and quite a lot of blood gushed out and went over the woman (the one I didn't know's 
) top.
I apologised really nicely and said I was so sorry and she was all "this is brand new, it's dry clean only" and she was quite aggressive but I put it down to being upset over a new top, and I said look, get (friend) to send me the bill, I'll pay.
Then 
she went psycho, she said, "it cost £99 and you'll pay for a new one bitch!" and jabbed me in the chest! I do not do confrontation and my heart was HAMMERING but I said "I will pay for it to be cleaned but I am not being spoken to like that!" (okay I probably squeaked it, I was upset!) friend told this woman to calm down but then told me I should just withdraw the cash from an ATM and give it to her then we could relax and enjoy our night ... I said I haven't GOT £99! This woman was all "well you'd better fucking find it!" and I am ashamed of this but I RAN out mainly as I was crying but also just panicked. I got a taxi home and my phone has been going mad with messages from "friend" and her friend (she must have given her my number) and I've also had horrible Facebook messages. I rarely use Facebook, I've blocked & deleted and managed to set things so people I'm not friends with can't send me messages though.
But I'm scared! Could I be arrested for criminal damage or something?
and also, wibu to run out ...

I know it does sound like we're 18! I'm 32 though which makes it so much more embarrassing I think the lady might have been about 25 though?
I promise I wasn't drunk (I will concede to 'tipsy' 
) but I think I just didn't notice the cut as my hand was up and so it didn't bleed until I stood up.
I wish someone had video-d it, you'd all understand then!!

Sounds hideous, I also hate confrontation and would probably have left too. No normal and rational human being would have reacted quite so badly. Ok inside you might feel quite pissed off if it cost £99 which I doubt it did, probably Primark ,but most people would graciously accept your offer of paying the dry cleaning and get on with enjoying the rest of the night. Lets hope you don't have to see either of them again.

I once managed to slice the tip of my thumb off helping pick up a broken glass. It was so sharp I didn't feel it at all.
Anyway, sounds to me like OTT woman was a bully, and 'friend' either a bit of one or a coward.
You offered to pay for the cleaning, it was an accident, they can fuck off.
Personally I have had a very night out involving blood and split alcohol. When you feel better I'll share my shame ?
