Magistrate Miranda Moody told Greer Fletcher she was fortunate the victim wasn't an equally aggressive large man.
If she did so again, Ms Moody said, that might be her fate - becoming the victim of an assault.

"Ms Fletcher, that was a really stupid thing to do," she told the 28-year-old.
"You have got to be very careful doing these road-rage matters."
Fletcher, the court heard, pursued the victim's car to Thurgoona's Kinross pub, where she used a key to scratch two door panels.
The court was told that Fletcher was "clearly in an emotionally charged state" when she pursued the other motorist, aggrieved by having been overtaken by the victim's car.
Fletcher suffered from anxiety, defence lawyer Mark Cronin said, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
These were related to incidents of domestic violence.
Fletcher pleaded guilty this week to destroy or damage property.
The court heard the victim was driving his station wagon along Table Top Road, Thurgoona, on August 19 about 1.45pm when he overtook Fletcher's car.
Fletcher followed him to the Kinross.
Both got out of their cars, then yelled about the other's manner of driving.
The victim walked towards the hotel entrance.
But before driving off, Fletcher used a key to mark the victim's front and rear passenger doors.
This was captured on CCTV footage.
He saw the damage so got into his car to follow Fletcher, but she couldn't be found.
Fletcher was placed on a 12-month conditional release order.
