If you opened your door into a colleague's car what would you do?
I came back to two big grey streaks on my car, having had a grey park next to mine after I'd gone into work. One has left a small scratch, and their door lined with where it would have hit my car.
I reckon I can probably T-Cut it all out with a bit of work and leave little damage, but am I wrong to be annoyed they've said nothing? I've already had a bad day so wondering if I'm being precious? |  |

I wouldn't do or say anything, because they'll just deny it, unless you catch them in the act then sorry Mullet you just have to let it go, I know they're totally in the wrong and your blood is semi boiling but you just have to put it down to a annoying car par scrape and sort it the best way you can.. |
100% right. This type of annoying but minor damage happens regularly & no good will come of shaming the perpetrator. He/she will almost certainly deny all knowledge, possibly innocently or they may go the other way and apologise profusely. Either way, I reckon you will both feel more awkward. |  |

With insurance companies telling their clients to deny everything, it's no small wonder that this behaviour is, sadly, all too prevalent. |
That's thoroughly sh1tty IMO. If you prang someone's car you should own up to it. I did it once in Colchester some years ago and left my number and a note under their windscreen wiper. Got a text later that day thanking me but saying not to worry about it, he said it's a bit of a banger anyway and he can't be ar5ed with the paperwork. Result. |  |

Indeed. I was the victim of an incident in a car park a few years ago. I was reversing out of a space & could see another car moving straight for me. So I stopped, honked my horn but the other driver drove straight into me. It only looked like minor damage to my car so he gave me his details & when I gave him an estimate as to the repair cost, he baulked & wanted to go through insurance & then he came up with a completely spurious version of events, so it ended up being a 50-50 claim. There were no witnesses so I had to suck it up. | |

I was the victim of a no-fault accident as an 18 y/o but this older bloke and his mate lied and I lost out, having to pay for my own car's damages.
I found him on FB about 25 years later and reminded him he still owes me money.
I'm not good at letting these things go and still hope to get it back one day. |  |
