The Dent

Do you leave the note?

The Dent

You're reversing out of a tight car park and you hear it. A long scrape down the door of the car next to you. Empty car park, no cameras you can see. Your insurance is already up for renewal and the excess is more than the repair.

Do you leave the note?

Then ask

  • What if the car were a beat-up old thing rather than something expensive?
  • If you drive off, when do you stop thinking about it?
  • Would you leave the note if a stranger were watching from a window?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
