pure reaction............. absolutely.. no thought on my part.

I had a similar incident last week in a busy fast food restaurant. I am very aware of my surrounding and this little elderly woman approached me from my left. I saw her approach--she was a little old woman who could not possibly be a thread to me. She walked behind me to get a napkin from the condiments area. She must have been afraid that I didn't see her and might back into her, so she lightly touches my back. Do you know I immediately squared myself to her, and about scared her half to death. She apologized to me and I felt REALLY bad. I was so embarrassed and apologized back. There was no excuse for my reaction. She was like 80 yrs old and maybe 100 lbs soaking wet. I knew she wasn't a threat, but my body reacted reflexively.
