Yesterday afternoon, at the end of a long four days of lectures, I was tired. We were listening in a classroom to the examination marker giving tips for the written piece soon to be submitted. A woman, the nearest to me, at the next table, was talking to the person next to her. and had been repeatedly for the last two hours In my head, I thought 'shut up'. Accidentally it came out of my mouth as 'Shut... ' at a volume of say a loud whisper. She did stop talking. As the word slipped out, I knew I needed to apologise for my rudeness as soon as class finished. I was fatigued, and she was talking over the speaker but my thought was verbalised and it was wrong.
As the lesson finished, I was arranging something with a colleague when this woman approached and aggressively demanded me to listen. I asked her to hold on a second, and I'd be with her. She then reverted to the teen girl (prob late 30's in reality) who talks loudly and non stop telling me all about my wrongdoing and her thoughts about me in front of the entire class of 25+ nonstop, without pausing for air. 90+% of the room had no idea what had happened until then. She went on and on. I tried to interject and ask to speak to her in private. It was so embarrassing. I apologise over her aggressive and raised voice, and tried to explain I spoke in error. I also said she should be more considerate than to talk through a zoom meeting - but she just kept shouting how dare I be so rude to her
I have to see these people in 3 months
- Do I try and speak to her and apologise via text
- Do I apologise on the group chat
- Do nothing
- Something else, tell me
thank you, I need input here
