So what happened.... I bought a new bike, my old bike was a cruiser and you push the pedals backwards to stop. Well I didn't really try this new bike out, I woke up and was running late for work and just hopped on.. well this asshole parks his beaten up truck like half way on the handicap curb (he has no handicap btw) and I tried to slow down but I forgot to use the brake pedals at my hands ..

So..

I hit his mirror, and sorta dented the side of his truck ... I was more cut up than his beater. But I popped the mirror back just fine... And I went to work.



All day it wore on me. "I've got to tell him what happened." Against all advice I received I went downstairs to his apartment and knocked four times and waited over 10 minutes. He never showed up. So I went back up stairs.



It's been 4 days. I see the dent every morning but I still haven't told him. I feel like I should but my boss said his wife barely rear ended a car and they sued her for damages over $ 2,500... And that if it's already a beater truck to leave it be.



Do I leave it be? Or do I clear my conscience? Or do I leave it be and clear my conscience too.
