Was opening my car door and accidentally hit the car next to me, left a tiny tiny dent/scuff on the area above the rear passenger tire. They came out of the car and wanted to get my phone number, insurance information, etc to file a claim. The extent of the “damage” is honestly laughable and I hope they don’t actually file a claim. Told them I'd prefer to just work outside of insurance if they really want to get that fixed.

Honestly I feel like they would have to be VERY petty if they actually follow through with going to a body shop to get a quote and make me pay for it. I know it’s technically my fault, and I did apologize, but they have scratches on their car that are far worse and you can barely see the scratch. Any overall suggestions/tactics with dealing with this would be helpful. They only have my phone number, name, and license plate #. They don’t have my driver’s license or insurance info.

Did you take a pic of the damage?

A pic of the mark and their other damage would be super helpful. Mobile repair guys take out stuff like that for $300. A body shop will want to replace the panel for $3,000. If they just want a little cash then its a good lesson for you.

Understandable. But would someone really want to go through all that hassle and also run the risk of adding a car accident to their car record? I don’t know, personally I wouldn’t want that headache along with the impact to resale value

Here’s a pic, I’ve zoomed in super close

Realizing why agencies are still struggling to find enough Business Affairs employees. And know several people who this has happened to. One is pay. Salaries have been going up the last year or two.

So if a candidate has 19 out of 20 required skills or experiences, they aren’t being given offers. Even if that one piece can be easily taught …
