I think if you ever see him again,, you buy him a coffee, and just explain that it was an instinctual reaction you felt bad about later.
Sometimes we just react strangely to things, but humans have a "first response" instinct for a reason. Even though it's not always the best response socially, instinct's first priority is survival. So "it is what it is" ((sorry GC)
