There is no such thing as inconsiderate by accident.

inconsiderate: careless of the rights or feelings of others

People are either mindful of the rights or feelings of others or they are not.

Any action you take that is not mindful of rights or feelings of other is inconsiderate. [/b][/quote]
I completely disagree with the "inconsiderate isn't an accident" theory. I think the word inconsiderate by definition mandates an accident. They failed to consider. If they considered the discomfort it caused you and did it anyway, it wouldn't be an accident or for that matter inconsiderate. It would be just plain wrong. In this case it sounds like it wasn't on purpose, they just didn't think about it. It certainly doesn't make borish behavior ok, acceptable or even cool. But, it is different than someone setting out to crowd you, make you nervous..... That would be on purpose (the opposite of on accident)

Then again I'm probably WRONG.....I'm married you know.

Webster defines inconsiderate as
inconsiderate: careless of the rights or feelings of others

This would mean any action that is careless of the rights or feelings of others be that action deliberate or accidental is inconsiderate.

For example lets say Im driving down the road, I change lanes withour looking cutting someone off. I have been inconsiderate by default, I did nothing to make sure I was not careless of the rights or feelings of another.

Same example Im driving down the road, I go to change lanes I see the vehicle but cut him off anyways. I have now deliberatly been inconsiderate.

In both hypothetical situations I was inconsiderate due to an action or lack of action on my part, which cannot be considered an accident.
