I would never say I would kick ANYTHING, a bike, a person, an ant on the ground.  Nothing in this world would make me say, "I am going to kick some of your personal property."  Outlandish!  [/quote]

I find it outlandish to dismiss someone's feelings by saying "calm down" instead of a simple, polite sorry. The bicycle owner sounds like the one carrying around hostility to me.[/quote]

So it would be fine then to kick his bike?  [/quote]

No. But I also don't think it's fine to tell someone to calm down when I've (inadvertently) done something wrong to them. A rude response like "calm down" is one that I would expect to elicit a rude response in reply.[/quote]

I don't think someone who has threatened to kick someone's belongings has any manners-based ground to stand upon. She lost her battle at this point.  You cannot insist on manners and point to the other person like a crazy maniac if you have just lowered yourself to say, "I will kick your belongings."  Your credibility is gone and you are now the crazy one.  He may have been in the wrong and you may have had a very strong case, that is for sure.  WE may now never know!  But she  lost it the second the words, "I will kick your belongings," came out of your mouth.[/quote]

You would have a point if the woman had said that first. Based on the OP's story, she didn't. [/quote]
