Carpark 'Ding' - Am I over reacting?

[Calza]

As I was reversing into a bay at morrisons today, the guy behind me drives into the bay next to mine while I'm still manouvring to even myself up - that should have been my first warning.

He opens his door straight away so I sit waiting for him to finish up fishing around inside for something then thud he's bumped his door into mine. I put the window down and asked him to close his door to inspect it, he acted like I was barking and told me there was no damage. When I pointed out the paint on my car he then tried rubbing it off with a wet finger and insisted it was fine - despite there still being paint.

I know it's not the biggest mark, and hopefully will polish out, not that I have any polish so I'd have to buy some. But to me he should accept responsibility and at least apologise for damaging my property?

Tar and glue remover would have a better chance of removing that.

Thinking on it I have a clay mitt that would probably do the trick. I washed the bloody car yesterday though!

A clay mitt? That would scratch it even more!

Not necessarily, CLAY MITTS are quite good things to have.

That's exactly the one I have!

Wouldn't worry about it mate. He'll do the same to some nutcase who doesn't think twice about GBH, then he'll learn not to do it again.

You're probably right. I must admit when security said there was no CCTV covering the bays I did have some daft thoughts for a second. I'd just been to the gym too so was extra pumped up

Shorts, white socks and trainers?! Sartorial suicide, OP.

I'd just came out the gym, they're actually 3/4 length trackies!

I thought I'd shared this originally.

It's not like we were close!
