Ok, you've just washed your car and it's gleaming, you feel proud of driving it again. You've got to go to the shopping centre to buy a new pair of shoes, and your a defensive parker. So you drive to one of the most far away spaces to park up to your partners dismay.

You come back, having found the shoes you want and approach your car. You can see a sorry looking Mondeo next to your car. Not only that it's badly parked and as close to your car as can be without being in your space. It looks bad as you think to yourself how he managed to get out of his car.

As you go to open your door you notice a dent that has ruined the nice lines of your car, and you're not happy at all. There's also a bit of dark green paint on the dent and the Mondeo is dark green.

What would you do?

a) You are furious, without a second thought you key the Mondeo and be on your way.

b) You go to the shopping centre security and see if you can get some evidence against the Mondeo

c) You leave a note on the Mondeo's window, hoping the honest person will call back.

d) You wait in your car, ready to unleash your anger at the owner and demand them pay for the repairs.

e) You try and forget about it and accept it was an honest mistake and fix it at your own expense.

So what would the folk of ocuk do? This is a hypothetical question :D

Make a call to 'The Man' and wait for said man with bat to turn up, transfer the £500 plus costs to his account and drive off, he'd sort the rest. ;)
 
D.. I don't get angry often, but if something happens to my car I can feel the rage rising!

A few years back I ended up making some poor woman cry by shouting at her in a fit of rage after she'd driven into me! :(
