[quote name='Mr. Beef']Damn, this one girl at work is a total bitch, always on my ass for something. Then, I accidentally hurt her ankle when she had her foot on a pushcart I was pushing. Nothing serious, but still.
Should there be an apology, or should I keep quiet and let her know who's boss?[/QUOTE]
Keep quiet.
My best friend used to work at Kmart, with me, back in the days. We both worked on Easter, one year, and the store was ridiculously dead. So, we were just hanging out in one of the toy aisles, talking to a female co-worker (I think we were both, in tandem, hitting on her, because she looked helluva good).
The female co-worker had a shopping cart in front of her, like she was pushing it, but she was leaning on it, instead, while talking to us. My friend, who is like a rambunctious toddler, did something, by accident, where he kind of kicked the front of the cart, causing the cart handle to hit the girl in the stomach.
After the handle hits her in the stomach, she roars, "I could have been pregnant!!!!", and stormed off.
My friend and I looked at each other, and just laughed at how absurd of a comment that was. The laughter was enhanced after I spat out the analogy of, "That's like you holding a razor to my face, and me yelling, 'I could have had a moustache!'"
