I can't say I recall ever doing that without going up to the driver and saying "Geez, I'm sorry about that. Is there anything I can do?" And when I say that I usually get a "naw, don't worry about it."

And if somebody makes a small ding on my car and appears to be truely appologetic, I usually also brush it off. And I think most of us are of the same mindset- it's not the fact that somebody did something accidentally to us- it's how sorry they appear to be. Like yesterday when waiting for a light I had a woman pretty much clobber me with her backpack. Before I could really get mad she turned around and said "oh, I am so sorry!"

I think the underlying theme of this thread is own up to what you did.
