I hit someone’s car in the parking lot and I got scared so I just left. I thought my car was in reverse but it was in drive mode so I stepped on the gas and hit the car in front of me denting their bumper. I just left since nobody noticed anything.
I did a hit and run today. How can I forgive myself?
or pray to God for forgiveness and make amends elsewhere.
or give someone else forgiveness when they do the same to you.
For what it's worth, I've been on the receiving side of this several times now, you aren't the only poorly trained $!@#!2... ahem.. human that lacks responsibility. it's the training of people these days.
Also... double check why your brain mis fired. there are reasons this happens, but that is extreme. find the source, fix it. Until then, go slow and double check your decisions.
When you are sick or pmsing or upset or hungry, etc.. your brain will make calculation errors.
well you made the mistake. it's a crummy one since someone will be financially impacted. but ultimately if you own up to your mistake on your own and vow not to do it again that's the best you can do and we all have to forgive ourselves at some point so long as we truly are remorseful and learn from it
perhaps you can drive back to the story and just give them your info. let them know that if a person comes in and complains about a hit and run to give them your info. or you could also contact the police and see if anyone reported a hit and run on that date around that time

Wow so you hit someone's car and left them with a damage bill that could be in the hundards or thousands to fix and you want sympathy?
Do you realise there may have been a car near by that had a camera recording and captured everything. I have a dash cam and a reverse camera and both are set up to automatically turn on in an accident.

I’m not perfect. It’s just a car bumper. They can still drive their car. I didn’t damage mechanically. Just cosmetics
Cosmetic damage still cost money to fix and the fact that's your response clearly shows you have no remorse for what you did. The poor owners of the other car loses money because your selfish ass decided to do a runner. I seriously hope someone did capture what you did and reports it to the police because than you will not only have to cover the cost of the damage to the other car but you also have to deal with the cops. Shame on you
@Siri137 If she regrets what she did, she would have also told us that she called the police to report herself as the perpetrator of the hit and run. She's not THAT sorry for what she did!
@Siri137 No, I wouldn't call the police; I would leave my information in a note on the windshield, just as you would do. But this user DIDN'T do that, so her only option - if she truly felt remorse later - would be to call the police to report herself as the perpetrator of the hit and run.
Somebody did this to me in 2017. It was on the passengers side and it was during the winter and we had tons of snow so I really have no idea when it happened. I had to pay a deductible but I got it fixed. It cost me 200 bucks.
That was a selfish thing that you did and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Same thing happened to me, I was so scared I panicked and drove back home. I felt awful so I called the police, told them what happened and if anyone in that town called about a hit and run to give me a call and we'd sort something out financially. I never had anyone call, but these things happen! Especially if it's the first time you've done it, it can be scary. If I were you Id do what I did. We're only human and we make mistakes!
Your reaction could have been better for sure, but I do understand. Also, if we really think about it, we cost each other in small ways all the time and there’s no way to even the score. Okay, this one is somewhat bigger than usual but hardly malicious.

I did something similar, and still remember and feel bad about it. I wouldn't do it normally but I was high and knew I would get a DUI. i panicked and drove off, which was really bad. I would have stayed if I was sober. I never drink and drive, and I used to think a little pot was fine. but now I never get high and drive anymore, because of this time.
I had a big truck and I did a "monster truck" move accidentally driving on top of their car a bit.
😭😭😭😭Oh my! The good thing is, you're remorseful. You'd forgive yourself with time, it can take a while. Just remind yourself to not repeat this mistake again and that you're human so your brain just went into defense mode
How would you feel if someone did that to your car? Leaving like that without Leaving a note was selfish of you. And from some of your answers you don't even feel bad. I hope someone saw you do this and took a picture of your car.
Well hope that no one took notice of that. A pair bumped into my car last hear while leaving a parking space and an older gentlemen filmed it (they were bad at driving). She now faces serious problems.
We all make mistakes, but I would at least leave your name, contact phone number, your license number, so you can make things right, but I'm not here to be rude because we all have a heart.
@strateguy632 I don't bother to own a car. That's right. But I do receive little bike ''injuries'' every now and then (on parking lots, or even in traffic when i. e. mirrors meet, or some fool pushes my exhaust to the side). But I see my vehicle as a means of transport. Of course the 'case' would be different if real destruction is involved. Otherwise, I keep myself free from possessions-brainwash.
Couldn't you go back to the parking lot and find the car again? Suppose they regularly park in the same place you can find the person again and make amends.
