Shot dead for texting? Does it matter who was in the wrong?

If you pick a fight with a stranger you may come off worst. If somebody asks you to stop doing something, you apologise.
   Is it ever worth getting into a row? Clearly not. An elderly person with a hearing aid finds small sounds magnified. Their problems is not your problem. But if you escalate a fight it could be a bigger problem for both of you.
   It doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong. Apologise and move seats.
   I'm reminded of the rhyme, 'He was right, dead right as he drove along, but he's just as dead as if he were wrong."
