Well, I was walking home from school today, and some guy on a bike yelled for me to get out of the way. I raised my saxophone (I'm in the school band) to get it out of the way of this guy, but the timing was off, and he plowed right into it, knocking him off the bike. I went over him and asked him repeatedly if he was all right, and if he needed help up. He didn't respond, and after a minute or so was able to lift himself up. He then started telling me that I had better pay him some amount of money or he'd call the cops on me, or sue me, or both. I told him I was sorry, but he continued. Finally, I reached into my wallet to get him to leave me alone, but I didn't have any money, so he was all "You better have $20 by Monday or I'm calling the cops." I said "Whatever." and he got on his bike and left and I finished walking home. So, what do you think I should do? I don't think he has a case, and I really don't want to pay this idiot (who didn't even really bother to brake) any money, but on the other hand, I don't want this to turn into a big ugly issue. What's your advice? Pay him the money or just ignore this guy? :rolleyes:

PS. I don't think anything was broken. He was able to get up in a second. He also seemed to have tough skin; that is, there wasn't any blood. I'm sure it was painful, but I made it very clear that I was sorry, and he didn't seem to really need any medical attention or even any bandages. Plus, he has no legal grounds anyway Razz

EDIT: Sarcasm is difficult to detect over the Internet, so I added a few things to reinforce the meaning here.
