#29: That's probably what happened, the girl went full-tilt diva when she got hit. People at parties, concerts, sporting events, etcetera tend to overreact or even start fights with others when they think their "good time" is being *remotely* threatened, regardless of how they probably are in the rest of their lives. I've seen it countless times before at the concert venues I work at. I'm reading this as OP knocked into this girl on accident with her prop (most likely made from a light material, say foam) and the girl went into "drama queen mode" - water works, tantrums, and all. This girl's reaction didn't click in OP's head until later when her BF told her. Brain surgery or not, it's still rude to go nuts on someone like that when it was a) most likely an accident and b) OP even "apologized profusely" and made sure she was okay, hence the remark. Should OP have been more mindful of her prop? Yes. Should this girl have probably stayed in that night if she was still that sensitive on her head? Yes.

I find that unlikely. I suffer neuropathy issues from fibromyalgia, so not the same, but when someone causes me pain I usually am first of all too stunned to react beyond saying "Stop!" Especially if it's to the head,I immediately am overtaken with a wave of dizziness and need support or I'll fall. I find it unlikely this girl yelled at OP and was more likely quietly gathering her senses after the initial blow. I think she was probably too busy worrying about her pain and coordination to be yelling at OP.

Where the hell do you get "threw a tantrum" from "blocked and walked away"? Because I can tell you that anyone who was in pain from being knocked lightly on the head wouldn't behave the way you describe because it would quickly put them in too much pain to do so. If anything, the "drama queen" tag came from the person "blinking" back tears as they walked away very quickly because they suddenly felt like their head was going to explode and they didn't take time to tell the OP that it was okay. From my personal experience, people who have genuinely been through painful procedures or experiences are usually not dramatic because they've been through the hell that is having a painful condition taken seriously.

From previous observations of people being lightly tapped on the head on accident (myself included), the offhand "drama queen" remark, and little to no experience of dealing with head pain on that level. People are confusingly random - some can just wave it off, make a face/cringe (like this girl did, which to me is not too much of a "drama queen" reaction), or go batshit over being knocked on the head, it can depend on their mood and other factors, like physical health. That was how I interpreted OP's FML until her follow up was posted. Obviously I was way off target.

I'm assuming she wrote that because that was what she thought when it happened, not once she found out. Chill.
