Hippy crashed into me

[waynedear]

I'll tell you what, if someone is going to reverse into you, pick a hippy.
I had just returned from class on Saturday, been in the house for 10 minutes, sat on the sofa, a tentative looking woman approached the gate, opened it and walked towards the door.
I opened the door, her words spilled out apologetically, she was very, very sorry that she had just backed into my parked car.
We went to have a look, bumper popped out on the off side rear, couple of splits and scrapes, not that bad, she is still saying sorry, he husband comes over with more apologies.
They had me beat, I could not be angry, details exchanged and pictures taken, then him and his wife Bridget Jones left.
She has just text me to say her insurance will be in touch, hopes we had a lovely weekend and a few more apologies.

Not everyone is a A-hole.

Might be worth a small token of appreciation for their honesty etc - sounds like she feels awful. A box of chocolates or a bottle of wine or something if you feel so disposed.

Something something right on.
Something something write off.

Absolutely.

One good turn deserves another.

This is PH. Did you not check the car is on MID, taxed and MOT’d? Quick, act fast before she dumps the burner phone…

An apology goes a long way and genuine mistakes do happen.

Had a chap roll into the back of my car years ago. I hopped out and he was immediately saying sorry. I couldn't be angry at the guy, luckily there was no damage.

My wife is a potter, her husband is a potter, they live local, it has crossed my mind to invite them round, nibbles, drinks and a lump of clay.

You could do a swap, but instead of sex things, think like the scene from Ghost.
