You place an item on a shelf, or in a cupboard where the item does not belong as the item is badly placed, when the item is retrieved by another person it dislodges something else that falls to the floor and breaks

Well, it was accidental but from what you are describing yes, it ptobably was my fault. If I'd done this I'd apologise straight away and offer to pay for whatever I broke.

I would be annoyed if having apologised, I was made to feel like a total idiot for days on end about it by other people. Sometimes in situations like this, people act like you are the only person in history who has ever broken anything. Things break - that's life - and that's also what insurance premiums are for.

if something was so bloody precious it should have been kept in a safer position .. but a sincere apology is necessary in that case.

Well you could always sue ...and then the Judge will determine what % of the breaking is your fault for placing it where it dopes not belong....and a % for the person as they tryed to FIX your mistake and the breaking resulted....grin



So in this case I would say it was a 50% on both sides....just say your sorry and get on with it...

Option 2 sounds good to me. Tell them to f..k off and that's it their own fault for being lazy gits and not putting it in the cupboards themselves laugh

If I was wrong I would own up to it and apologize. Especially if it wasn't done out of malice.

I'd own up to it and apologize and move on and hope the other person would too.

Oh dear. My days of walking on eggshells are long gone. This sounds like Obsessional Neurosis on her part which is a form of OCD. She needs help I'd say.
