About This Quote

She wished she had had the guts to go up to him and say hello. Or possibly break his legs, she wasn't sure which. This quote is a humorous take on the idea of someone getting in your way when you are trying to do something. In this case, it is a woman who has been trying to avoid a man whose name she does not know.

However, instead of going up to him and saying hello or even apologizing for being in his way, she decides to go all out and try and hurt him. However, in doing so she sets herself up for a lot of trouble because he is a lawyer and will most likely sue her for the damages that she inflicted upon him.
