But having said that, some people are very touchy about their property/territory and she could very well have seen you intruding on her property without a damn good reason. I know if you were on my fence, I probably would have reacted very similarly.
Of course, I probably would have reacted similarly if someone tried to get my attention whilst I was listening to music on my headphones and it's some random person whom I don't know from Adam.

Yeah, but I don't really see what I was doing as intrusion of any kind. If I were kicking it or trying to get over it, I'd see her point. I just think she was bitching for the sake of bitching, to be honest.
If I were leaning against the outside of your fence and not even paying attention to your house, you'd have done the same?

She didn't seem in the mood for conversation, believe me, or I would've inquired further.
I imagine they'd be expensive to repair, but I hardly think putting a teensy bit of weight on something bigger than me is going to cause it to tumble to the ground. Looked and felt pretty sturdy to me.

Poking is just plain wrong. She could have lightly tapped you, she didn't because she pre-judged you as being a disrespectful young person with no regard for property or authority. She was wrong in that regard. Don't worry about it, let is slide off your back. Sounds like you didn't say anything back to her that you can't live with. Just take it as a lesson that some people are very sensitive about their property and move on. |
It was mostly the way she approached me that pissed me off. I would've had no problem with it if she'd been a little more tactful. Eh, I'm over it. It just wasn't a good day to have that happen.
