When I was 8 or 9
I was in Edinburgh Zoo, and with the footballing skills of someone with two-left feet, kicked a stone, as young boys will. Like a speeding bullet ready to prove Murphy's Law, it hit some woman right in the shin. She was facing the other way, and turned instantly with a pain-struck look on her face to look where it came from - i.e. at me. I knew, and I knew she knew, that she knew I'd done it, but she evidently felt she couldn't come over and slap a young boy, though the look on her face when she turned round suggested that she'd really wanted to. I tried to pretend it hadn't been me, but it wasn't fooling anyone.

I've felt bad about this for twenty-five years.

Facing away from you, yet you hit her shin?
That's less two left feet, and more bend it like Beckham.

If I was facing north
She was facing west. Or do you want a really bad MS Paint drawing? (Trust me, you REALLY don't).

I guess that by not moving she gave her consent.

I can't be sure but I think you mean
I knew, and I knew she knew she knew I knew, that she knew I'd done it
