To see if IABU.
Parked to pick DS up from school, had elderly DM and DDad with me (80s). A space on either side. A woman reverses in and parks really close (on the line).
DS arrives and I ask is he can get in. He puts his had over the door edge and gets in, his hand touching her car and not any metal on metal.
I start to drive off and she starts banging on the window - I only see it as I am driving away and can't stop as another car is coming.
I drive round the loop and have to pass in the road behind her car - at this point she has got out and is screaming at me, flags me down and accused DS of 'smashing her car' and 'causing lots of damage' that will 'cost a fortune to fix'. No metal from my car touched hers. She photographed me and my car and carried on ranting. I didn't rise to her at all. I just pointed out that there could not have been any damage. At this point I wound my window up and left. I contacted the school to tell them what had happened - 80 year old mum was really upset (she isn't well).
I've got home and I am really angry with myself for not stopping and taking photos of the non-existent damage.
So AIBU to be so cross with myself for wimping out and not wanting to confront someone who stormed out of her car and berated me in front of loads of school children.
Once again four witnesses to the fact there was only contact with a hand - if any at all.
