Tokyo life again ! Part 1: Dasai (ださい)

Today I arrived at my home in Tokyo safely.
I had not came back for 2 years, so many new buildings and shops were constracted around my house.
For the flight from Amsterdam to Tokyo, I enjoyed chatting with my nebouring lady on the right side. She was very friendly, so we talked a lot.
After having sushi for lunch with my parents, I went shopping with my bicyle. But I walked slowly and enjoyed window shopping. When I saw a traffic signal, it became red. So I stopped walking, then something banged my bicyle and shouted "Gyaaa." The something fell down on the street. It was a young business man who wore a nice business suit and had a cool baggage. He hit his shin by my bike stand. We, Japanese, called "弁慶の泣き所". This means that a strong person like Benkei also feel pain and even may cry. He stared at me from the street, so I said "I am sorry."
But I wonder I am wrong? Then two ladies behind me started chatting: "the woman with the bicyle had stopped already." "Yeah, he hit his shin by himself."
He stopped staring and could not complain to me suddenly. ^^ He looked a nice businessman from good belongings. But I felt "he is hick and crude ...だ さ い !!!"
This is the first impression of my first day in Tokyo life!

This means that a strong person like Benkei also feels pain and even may cry. (or a strong person will also feel pain < more natural)
Getting stolen and re-stolen.
Bruising people's shins while stationary.
