Why that damned, uppity hunk o' metal!!!! I would proceed with continued
kicking until it decides to give you a good reason.

Rather than offer a good reason, it will probably just argue
compressor privelege.

Try using steel-toed
boots this time. It would be even better if you had someone with more
powerful leg muscles do the kicking.
