Are you 'effin serious?

I hit someone on a bike this morning! No, I am not kidding. I hit a cyclist with my van today! Let me explain... so that you don't automatically think I am an idiot. I was coming out of a residential neighborhood on to a busy street. I am STOPPED at the stop sign. There are fenced in apt. complexes on both corners. I need to turn right. I look to my right, NO ONE! I look to my left, no one, but I couldn't see far enough down the street to chance pulling out into traffic so, I took my foot off the break peddle to roll up about two inches and WHAM!!!! Some asshole on a bike is staring at me like I MEANT to hit him. So naturally, I panic. I jump out of the van "OH MY GOD ARE YOU OK?" He says that he is fine (Thank you Jesus!) So I ask him if he would like me to call the police, ambulance, insurance, a friend ... ANYONE! He says no and that he is fine. He looks at his bike and rides it in a  circle or two and tells me that the bike is fine also. The whole time I am trippin out. I am asking him if he wants me to take him to the ER, home, or to where ever he was going... What can I do, I have never hit anyone before! He said that everything was ok and he was just going to leave. Umm... ok? Well let me give you my name and number. So I do and thats when he turns into a jerk. After I said I was sorry for about the millionth time and he says "Don't be, I am from San Fransisco and they are just more cautious to people on bikes, I shouldn't have expected you to look first!" Umm, Are you kidding me? So I said "Well, down here we normally stop at the corner and don't pedal out in front of vehicles!"  I was mad. Any way, so he pedals away. I call everyone I can that is up that early cause I am still pretty shaken up about the whole ordeal. Then I get a text message from the guy about an hour later saying that his front tire is bent and wanted to know what I was going to do about it. I thought you said it was fine is what I was thinking but I didn't say that, I still felt pretty bad. So, I told him to take the bike to a bike shop, get an estimate, and we can split the cost (He did pull out in front of me after all.) Then the lil twerp writes back applaud that I said split the cost. That he thought me replacing the tire would be a gesture of good faith for HITTING HIM WITH MY CAR (He caps it, not me) and that I need to just forget about it and how society never fails to disappoint him and what not and finishes his lil hissy fit with Have a Good Day! I was SOOO pissed off. You know what you lil bastard, I did have a good day, all because you told me to forget about paying for it! So HA, you can take that self-righteous attitude and shove it up your ass buddy... Gesture of good faith, you should be grateful I was so damn nice and gave you my real name and number. Hell, I offered everything in the book for you, Asshole! As you can tell I am still pretty mad about it. Just thought I would share that lil story with you, the rest of the day was great though :)
