I was meeting a friend for coffee today and on my way through a well known dept store, a toddler no older than 2 ran out of a clothes rack and ended up in front of me, him being so far down and literally coming out of nowhere my next step sent him flying,
Of course he ended up on the floor crying, I looked round for his parent and it was a good while before she appeared glaring at me, I apologised profusely, to which she ignored and after apologising several times and pointing out he came out of nowhere, she gave me another filthly look, ignored all my sorries and I walked off.
After a few more minutes I spotted my friend and went over to her to say hi, the mother of fallen over child saw me and gave me another filthy look.
I refuse to feel guilty about this, I apologised, it was an accident, young child was running around the clothes racks so what does she expect.
When mine were toddlers if something similar had happened to them, I'd have apologised to the adult as my fault for not having them under control in the first place.
Aibu to not feel any guilt after that treatment.
