Yes I know I'm a idiot, I just need someone who isn't my husband to talk this through with.
So this evening as I reversed out my drive the back of my car made contact with my neighbours car which had been parked across the street. I knew that the cars had touched but really thought it was nothing, no noise when it happened, didn't feel anything in my car, only knew because I saw how close the other car was when I looked in the rearview mirror. As I thought (stupidly) nothing had happened I drove off.
Another neighbour saw what happened and told the neighbour who's car I hit. This neighbour then went round to my house when I was out and spoke to my husband about it. I have had the lecture on how immature I was and "what if it had been a child" from my husband and feel suitably awful. I am planning on going round to apologise in the morning.
How am I best to approach this? I feel like being honest and saying I didn't think I'd done any damage won't go down well. My husband says they weren't angry and don't want any money (their car wasn't damaged) it was a more of a "we're disappointed" sort of thing. My husband has told me I've embarrassed our family in front of the neighbours now and I should be ashamed to show my face for a while. Going to be up all night worrying about this.
