The girlfriend is walking down the street with her boyfriend, and her hard, leather handbag hits a woman (who is crouched down on the sidewalk, admiring a little poodle) in the side. The girlfriend doesn't apologize and just walks on with her boyfriend, but overhears the woman swearing quietly at her. The girlfriend rolls her eyes and speaks bad of the woman to her boyfriend.
Boyfriend says: You should have apologized
Girl friend says: Why? It's her fault anyways. She was crouched down in the middle of the sidewalk. So it's her fault. Why should I have apologized?
In this situation, how could the boyfriend persuade the girlfriend into realizing and accepting the fact that she should have apologized without actually pissing his girlfriend off and making her feel bad?
Ten points to the best answer!!!

The situation requires some tact. You can't speak to her as if you are chastising her or something like that. I would ask her to put herself in the other woman's position. How would she feel if someone walked past her and hit her and then swore at her? Maybe she never considered that. Or, ask her if she enjoys apologies from you when you do stuff that upsets her. That would make me think a little more about things.

Well...I agree with the girlfriend here. But if I did not.....
He could say that whenever you do anything without having the intent to do, you should apologize.

it's called courtesy. you know, being civil toward strangers. if the girl insists on carrying an unmanageable sack of rocks she should be gracious when it assaults an innocent bystander.
but the main point is when bad stuff happens it is not instantly some one else's fault. (does she always blame others for her misfortune?)
