I Can't Believe I Just Did This
I have to give some background first: the office doors in our building are sliding glass doors. The bottom half is smoked glass, the top half is clear glass.
Anyway, there is a small person who works in our building. He sits in an office at the opposite end of the wall where mine is. A few months ago I was walking out of my office and crashed into him. I cannot see the top of his head over the smoked glass portion of the door. I felt terrible. Fast forward to today. I completely took him out about an hour ago. I was on my way downstairs to grab lunch and walked out of my office door and ran into him so hard he fell and hit his head on the floor. I felt terrible. And stupid me says, "I'm so sorry, I couldn't see you." Why did I have to say that???? So he said I need to avoid your office, it's dangerous. So now, he has walked past my office twice and each time said "Don't open your door I'm coming through." I feel like such a jerk.
Re: I Can't Believe I Just Did This
I'm sure he doesn't think you did it intentially, besides your line of sight is slightly impaired with the two baby belly, I bumped into everything when i was pregnant.
It almost sounds like he thought you were saying you couldn't see him because of your belly. I hope he didn't really take offense to it.
It sounds like he took it well, well if he's saying that he's walking by in good humor. I also think he probably thinks that your babyx2 tummy was in the way.
How are you feeling?
OMG, I'm sorry Kristi, but I was just rolling from laughing. The guy doesn't seem to take offense, but sounds like he's trying to keep a good sense of humor about it.
I think Heather's right - you're moving a little differently than you normally would.
Is he okay after hitting his head? And honestly - I've said the same thing to non-little people "Oh, I didn't see you there." It happens regardless of height (and honestly, I've had that said to be by people over 6 feet when I'm only 5'3"!)
Wow.. WTF is my mind today? I read this and thought "Hmm, sounds like someone who wanted some privacy for anything below the waist..."
We don't have those kinds of doors here. LOL And I don't have an office!
I was thinking more along the lines of "Some executive thought those might hide some Monica Lewinsky-type activities." (I want to insert
here, but that's just wrong and too obvious.)
