There are still some good people left in this world
Long story short: I got in a hurry was backing up and didn't see one of my neighbors friends parked in the driveway and I clipped him. (me getting old and dumbassidity) Not much damage but marked his paint a little and crushed his plastic hubcap. Worst part about it was the dude was across the street in class while I was sitting there left to sweat it.
Anyway, I waited outside for him to get back, as I knew what my first reaction would be if I saw my car there like that, with insurance info in hand hoping I could afford to pay for it out of pocket rather than go through insurance.
About 30 minutes later a Saudi Arabian fellow come hopping along, stopped when he saw his car, and I ran out to him. His reaction "don't sweat it, the marks will buff right out and I was going to get some rims because I hated the hubcaps. I'm not mad, thank you for waiting to tell me."
I offered repeatedly to let me replace the damaged hub cap and repeatedly he refused. I didn't scratch the paint as I backed into him with my bad ass rear end of plastic but some paint did transfer.
Point is quite a few people would so take advantage of this but this dude didn't even want to hear about me trying to make it even.
