How to Cancel out a Good Deed at the Train Stop

1 Approach stairs heading towards train platform and take a few steps upwards.
2 Notice suburban family walking down the stairs.
3 Note that the mother and young daughter are walking hand-in-hand down the steps with each person holding opposing handrails.
4 Conclude that the daughter will not let go of handrail and her mother will not ask her to get out of a stranger's way.
5 Retreat backwards down the steps so the family has a clear path down the steps.
6 When you back off the last step onto the sidwalk, inadvertently step on a woman's toe with the heel of your shoe.
7 When your apology and polite concern is ignored, shrug shoulders and continue as if nothing happened. Realize a few hours later that she could have been in too much pain to respond. Oops.
