@pintsizehorror As I remember, a teenaged girl bumped an older woman's shoe with her own muddy shoe by accident. The older woman demanded an apology. The teenager apologized. The old woman demanded groveling. The teenager said, "I've already apologized, what more do you want?"Permalink On twitter.com

@pintsizehorror The old woman then assaulted her. Netizens were split three ways (pretty evenly, in polls) about whose fault it was: the old woman, bystanders (for not intervening), or the teenager (for "talking back"). Video showed the whole thing online. The poll results were... crazy.Permalink On twitter.com
