If I were you...

I'd give him/her a quick explanation of why you feel you did nothing wrong and then drop it at that.  I know how you feel, and I bet this person is just the type of person that will never be happy with anything.  If you know you didn't do anything wrong, then don't let this person make you feel bad about it.

I had a situation where my former SIL hated me from the day I got married.  In an effort to try to win her over, I threw a bridal shower for her.  She ended up leaving angry.  She wasn't happy with anything.  The food was wrong, the cake was wrong, the decorations were wrong, and she was embarrased by the invitations I sent out because I bought them at Wal-Mart.  She left mad, never thanked me for all the work and hundreds of dollars that I spent, and to top it off, when someone threw her a baby shower a few months later, she insisted that my 3-year-old daughter be invited without me and that another family member should come pick her up so that I would not attend.  Of course, I refused to allow my child to attend without me.  For years I beat myself up about what I could have done differently.  But you know what?  I did nothing wrong.  I did something nice, I had the best of intentions, and it was not appreciated.  It's her problem, not mine.
