darn computer age
someone chipped the paint on my car in the parking garage yesterday. i was ticked and unthinking and left a note telling them to please in the future not park so close to someone as had they done that they would have avoided damaging my car. and then i left my number. so dumb. i wanted to go back and take it off their car, but i was on my way to that appt and didn't have time. my big fear was what would i say if they call. but then when i mentioned it to thing 5 today, she said, 'what were you thinking?! they can look you up now and do who knows what!'
thank you for scaring me to death.

i'm hoping the infant car seat in the back means that the woman (yes, i'm sexist and assuming) doesn't have time or care enough to do anything about it. but i do wish she'd call so i can apologize and stop worrying about it.
I think what they're most likely to do is toss it. Maybe feel bad, maybe not, but still toss it. And that's happened to me before when it was so windy that it blew my door into the other car's. :/ Another time, I was just parked too close, but that's because that was the only option. But the guy was IN the car! That was awkward. He glared at me. I pointedly checked his car and gave him the thumb's up sign and mouthed "Sorry." I don't think he was amused. :/
Wait a minute, so YOU can apologize?? (Wrote out my comment before reading yours.)
yes, so i can apologize. one, because that would let us both be done with it, and two, because i'm sure i overreacted, and the ramp isn't the easiest to park in, and what if she was having a terrible day and i made it worse over something that wasn't huge.
yeah, could be a harried mom who was in a rush for her own appointment and didn't notice. Remember that pic I posted on FB of a car parked over the line in between two spaces at church? My small group leader saw the pic and told me later that she recognized that car and thought she knew what morning it was, too. She said it belonged to a mom of 2 toddlers and this mom has been flighty and overwhelmed lately. She was certain this mom didn't realize she parked that way. :: sigh :: it made me feel bad that I took a pic of that car to make fun of it.
