At work as an apprentice TA (in a school) a member of staff gave me a child’s coat to put on their peg as they’d dropped it. It had lots of mud on that got on the member of staffs hand. They tapped/wiped their hand on me to seemingly get the mud off, onto my upper arm. Then I was doing something behind the door as the pigeon holes were there, they came through the door and the door hit me quite hard and they just said ‘ooh’ didn’t apologise or ask if I was ok. Would this annoy you or am I over thinking

The door may have been an accident but they should have apologised nevertheless. But - they wiped the mud off on your arm ??? I’d have clocked them with the coat just for that !!

Yes it would annoy me if I had to work with an inconsiderate oaf. next time it happens you need to say something

They actually wiped their hands on you?
on purpose? That’s bizarre and yes they sound inconsiderate to say the least and I’d be annoyed!

They wiped their dirty hand on your arm?! I'd be disgusted if someone did that. The door I'd assume was an accident.

For starters they shouldn't be touching you without consent, especially not using your body as a makeshift cloth for muddy hands?!

If that really did happen I'd have said 'why did you wipe your muddy hand on my arm?' as soon as they did it. And look horrified.

Who wipes their hands on other people?

That very odd behaviour in the extreme, does the person have some form of additional needs and doesn't understand social norms?

If someone wiped mud on me I'd wipe them through a wall. What the utter fuck?

Han86 · 22/09/2025 19:14

I work as a TA and can see the door hitting you as an easy accident to make. The deliberately wiping their hands on you though sounds weird. If I gave a colleague a muddy coat I might comment on it and mention to them about holding it carefully, but I wouldn't be wiping my hands on them. Did they or you not say anything?

AgnesX · 22/09/2025 19:15

Why didn't you say something. Someone who wiped muck on me would be told in so uncertain terms.

As for the door they'd definitely be told.
