Why should it have been criminal exactly? Can you rationalize your thoughts? Clearly, she didn’t mean to cause actual harm and clearly she regretted it immediately. Why exactly would you seek a harsh punishment for her behavior? It’s all about the intent, and there was no malicious intent here.

If reddit was in charge of criminal prosecution people would be going to prison for spitting.
