So, I was on a train (it was a 4 hour ride). I took my seat and put my bag in the dedicated space. In front of me there was a girl who had not put theirs, but instead had it on the floor, in the space between me and her. The thing is, that space is not that big and none of us could stretch their legs. After an hour or so I started to feel some pain in my legs and decided to try to stretch them, and accidentally touched the girl’s bag a few times. Note that I couldn’t stretch them sideways because there were people both next to me and her. She didn’t say anything then, but at the end of the ride, she told me that I was deliberately kicking and dirtying her bag. Was I the asshole in this situation? Like, I could have tried to move a bit but I didn’t want to bother the passengers next to us, but at the same time she could have placed her bag in the designated place and not on the floor.
