“I Made A 1-inch Scrape On A Stranger’s Tail Light While Parallel Parking Yesterday. Today I Got This Text”

Bumping into someone’s car is not something anyone wants to happen. It can really make you feel stressed just thinking about the paperwork and money that you have to pay. Not to add having to potentially dealing with entitled people who just want to dry your pocket out.

Slathbg, a Reddit user, posted a story of her making a 1-inch scrape on a truck’s tail light. He left a note to call her just in case, although it was a pretty harmless accident but she owed it up.

What she didn’t expect was a wholesome message that can make us all feel fuzzy inside. Green Lemon wants to share this short, yet beautiful story of humans sharing kindness around.

She left a note with her phone number.

And she got the impending text. She did not expect this.

The temptation to drive away is strong in most cases especially when we find the scratch that the owner might just miss. But Slathbog showed that’s not how bros do it. Her post on Reddit has been given more than 68k upvotes as well as 5 silver awards.

As it appears, being the first person to own up to your mistake typically gives you positive feedback. Remember to take pictures of the situation as well as plate numbers before leaving the note. Or if you can, talk to the owner immediately after the incident and most importantly, be genuinely sorry.

And yes, humans can be bros.

It’s prompted others to share their own stories of kindness on parking mishaps.
