If you had to ask the question, you were probably the culprit. Especially if something fell over in your wake. When I walk past something and it falls I usually attribute it to my large posterior which sways when I move, so I don't bother asking. But SOME people must think they're infallable; I mean that stack of tomato soup cans falling wasn't MY fault - even if I DID hit it with my shopping cart...
Responsiblity for ones actions is something that doesn't seem to be the first thought in people's minds nowadays. "Hell, the clerk will clean it up; that's what they get paid for." Well, yeah they do. But being unaccepting of something that one does can be a hazardous thing as well. Say you leave the fallen cans all over the aisle and someone falls on one of them. That's a lawsuit against the place you're shopping at. And, it's most likely the prices of things will go up to a degree to cover any damages that the company might incur as a result. If it's a small business, well they just might lose their business in the financial climate that we're currently in.
So, take responsibility for your actions - whatever they are!!! NO, it might not FEEL good when you have to say, "yes officer I was the one to hop the curb and hit that mailbox splilling all the mail out into the street filled mud from the recent floods because I was texting my best friend about this cute guy who smiled at me from the car next to me in traffic..."
Yeah, it's the RIGHT thing to do - so DO IT!!!!!!!!
