The way the video is shot, it seems like that's her reaction after he initially ran into her. I.e., he ran into her (perhaps inadvertently) while charging toward whoever made him mad, and she pushed back. I'm guessing he didn't even notice her until she pushed back, which is why he's claiming that she was the…

THIS. I've *never* understood this. I'm a programmer with a college degree working for what anyone else would consider "good" money...but I don't think it's good at all. I'm not paycheck to paycheck, but I'm also never home. Half the time I'm asked to come in on weekends and work nights because some jackass up the…
