It bounced off her head and I had to slam it again to close it.
I was so pissed I just walked away.
Then that group of girls, plus more that weren't even there, tried to get me suspended/expelled a few months later. I was called down to the office and it was like 8 girls vs. me. The vice principle was a black lady. As soon as I explained my side of the story, and apologized specifically to the girl whose head I injured, they were chastised and told to apologize to me.
I missed this. Good to know there are still some reasonable people in charge.
I am suspicious of groups of women like this. Usually, there's a mob mentality that has blown out of proportion from one person who (perhaps) has a legitimate issue. I tend to think, tho, that a truly legitimate issue doesn't require a group of irate banshees to provide 'support'. Its more often a sign that their position is weak and they think they can bully a decision-maker into siding with them. I just tend to get pissed off then b/c it needlessly complicates what is usually a simple fix.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
