You have no idea how much this irritates me. Almost a year ago, I was riding to class and, unbeknownst to me, there was a doofus on a road bike behind me, fiddling with his ipod and trying to overtake me on the right. He was trying to pass me because I was slowing down to make a right turn, apparently. As I hooked my right turn he plowed into me, sending us both ass over teakettle onto the ground. I jumped up and unleashed a stream of profanity, asking him wtf he was doing; he responded that he hit me because he was changing a song on his ipod. the also tried to blame the crash on me because I didn't make a hand signal. Like he would see it anyway, staring at his ipod.

The damage: out of true front wheel, bent brake caliper, huge paint scrape on my downtube from the brake hitting it, bloody palms and damaged nerve endings in the skin above my knee which still bothers me to this day.

The ****er rode off before I could get his info, sticking me with all the costs At least his ipod broke (it was pretty much shattered) bottom line: **** your ipod.
