So i woke up this morning and found i had no clean boxers, so i decided to go down to the shops and buy a pack. So i get in my car and head down to the local shopping center, i find a parking space on the main road behind a audi Q3 who is slightly double parked, doesn't matter i say to myself, i've got a c2, its fairly small.
So i start to park, when a massive crane comes down the road and nearly takes the back out of my car, i quickly move into the space and ever so slightly nudge the bumper of this audi.
No biggy, i say to myself, they call them bumpers for a reason. But then this woman comes out of the car shouting at me, saying 'my kids are in the car' blah blah blah(because obviously i would have avoided the car if there were a fue kids in the car, but don't give a f**k otherwise), she then makes out that i've totaled her car. i look down and there is a tiny little scratch on the paintwork (who the **** makes a bumper out of metal anyway?), so small i had to squint to see it.
She then demands my details, so i give them to her, we then agree to settle it out of insurance, which will apparently cost me 500 pounds...
Oh and the only boxers they had were horrific...
So i want to know has anyone else had a similar experience and how should i deal with it?

I'd like to know, if you turned the boxers you had on inside out, before leaving for the shops?

This thread is now about the high cost of vehicle repairs...
But before it gets completely hijacked, to answer the OP's question, yes something similar did happen to me:
The lane i was in was crawling, while the lane to the left was moving along nicely. So, I decided to change lanes. I checked my blind spot and saw a car quite a ways back. I thought I would have the time to get in ahead of him but he was apparently going much faster than I judged. The front corner of my bumper grazed the rim of his wheel wells as he flew by. I was clearly in the wrong, but the guy just kept on going. Must have been in a bigger rush to get where he need to be than to worry about a slight blemish on his car. Oh well.
More interestingly, a buddy bought a new BMW and when it was less than a week old, one of his co-workers backed into it and ruined the bumper. Since it was in a parking lot, that means there is no-fault, so they both had to repair each other's damage; no-fault insuance just doesn't make sense to me. since his car was properly parked and the co-worker can't drive! Why should my buddy have to pay???
Ok, back to the cost of repairing vehicles...
So since this accident happened in a car park (technically) could i calm that it was a simple accident in a car park? My car hasn't a scratch
