botgrrrl and I had just begun dating, when we went to buy groceries together. She still had a hatchback Colt at the time, and when we went to put the groceries into the back, after I had leaned in to put the last bag down, she slammed the hatch down onto the back of my head.
Luckily for me (and our relationship), it was a glancing blow, and I was more stunned that she had done such a thing than injured. I stood there, staring at her in shock, while she stood there, horrified and probably figuring I was about to kill her, when I did what was probably the best thing I could have done in terms of avoiding an argument or other recriminations.

I started laughing.
