in tescos with my mum, on saturday, and it was pretty crowded. as i said , it was a saturday afternoon, and,
my trolly bumped in to another trolley, and bumped into a womans little finger.
it must of been really painful, the woman sucked in a breath and grabbed her hand and held it to her chest .
i was apologised straight away, i felt dreadful.
anyway, the woman just looked up and glared at me, .........i repeated my apology, and she just, totally ignorned me.
i managed to get a quick glance at the finger, and am sure she was getting a bit of bruise.
as she continued to ignore me and just look daggers at me, i stopped talking, and she grabbed her trolley and flounced off.
now, i didnt expect her to say , ok its alright, but an aknowledgement that it was a accident, would have been ok, and i would have even dashed to grab a bag of frozen peas for her at that point, but she totally just looked at me as if, i had done it on purpose! and that i was the most evil, nasty thing, she had ever seen.
i wonder if she would have found more satisfaction if i had not said sorry, and had given her the chance to shout back at me, perhaps she felt robbed of the chance?
or maybe, she ran of to have a quiet sob about it............which isnt a nice thought, and to be honest, unless she has a extremely high pain threshold, its really not a sobbing type of pain.
my worst crime in all this is that i was a bit clumsy, (but not all trolleys are easy to control) and i am truely sorry.
