    All I'm talking about was an honest mistake that didn't cause anybody any harm.

    Guess she didn't accept your apology. Maybe she thought it was some kind of a Frank Constanza pick up move.

    I would look at the positive- it gave you a thread idea.

    If you were sincere in your apology you wouldn't want a reward for apologizing. What are you, 8?

    spnited would have asked her to pump his gas. Way better than an apology acceptance. :)

    Does anyone else see a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode here?

    And there's nothing like following up your apology with "What is your problem?" Such sincerity.

    What's your problem, spnited?

    By her not saying anything harsh to you immediately after, she did accept it. Then, you continued to be in her personal space, which is a SEPARATE issue.

    Smallp,

    Minor faux paus is redundantish.

    As for the lady you trampled, why worry how someone else responds?

    Hell, you're lucky she didn't sue you.

    I think the obvious lesson here is that when you bump into a 70-year-old woman in a convenience store, you should make sure she doesn't get up and walk out under her own power.
