Today, I hit a parked car and did some damage, so I left a note. My dad called me a moron and, to teach me a life lesson, made me drive back to the car in case the owner hadn’t seen it yet, and remove the note. He actually threatened to smash my PlayStation if I came back without the note. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I hit a parked car which was sticking out in the road and practically unavoidable. I left a note on the windshield saying, "You deserved to get hit - you park like an asshole." Later I realized that the paper I tore to write on was the back of my bank statement, name and address included. FML
Today, I accidentally hit someone's car while in the supermarket car park. I left a note, went shopping, and when I came back my windows were shattered, my tires were slashed, and "FUCK YOU" was written on my windshield. FML
Today, I came home to find a car parked in my assigned space. Pissed off, I left a note on the car's windshield saying, "Hey Assface, thanks for parking in my spot. I spat on your door handle." It turns out it was my girlfriend's parent's car. They took us out to dinner. FML
Today, I found my car with its front end smashed in. The offender was nowhere to be seen, but had left a helpful note that stated, "Sorry about your car but you can go fuck yourself because you will never find me. Muwahahaha!" FML
Today, as I left the supermarket, I found someone had hit my car in the parking lot. There was a note tucked under the wipers. Insurance details? Nope. It just said "Sorry dude. I fucked up. Good luck with the car." Great. FML
Today, I was parking my car outside of my apartment, but the big truck next to the spot went over the line. I squeezed in anyway. Later, I discovered the truck had left and someone keyed my car. They left a note saying, "Good parking job, asshole." FML
Today, while parking my car, I accidentally bumped into the car in front of me, making a small, barely noticeable dent. I felt bad, wrote an apology note, and stuck it on his windshield. An hour later, he replied by keying the entire right side of my car. FML
Today, some guy hit my car and then threatened to sue me for "parking my car in such a way that it was impossible not to hit it." My car was in the driveway. FML
Today, I parked and noticed a car that was identical to mine across from me. I thought it was an amusing coincidence until I came back to find both cars trashed. At least the vandal realized their mistake and left a note saying, "You deserve it for having the same car as that cheater, asshole!" FML
Today, I went to my car to discover a note on the windshield from the city telling me that they had hit my car. On top of that note was a parking ticket, also from the city. FML

So write a fake copy of the note and hand that over to him? If he isn't going with you to the car, how would he know the difference? If he is going with you, go to a different place and claim the other car must have left already.

at least you learned that living is always the best policy, especially to your parents since they seem to agree with the idea... but for reals, you did the right thing leaving the note. after that if they choose to toss it, or it blows away or gets raiened on, W/E you have a clear conscience regardless of the universe intervening on your behalf. also if a camera caught it you don't get hit with some kind of lawsuit...

FYL because I know you’re a young, inexperienced driver and shit happens. However, your father was right to have you leave a note and be honest, and I guarantee you will remember this in the future.

Hadn’t had my coffee. The dad’s a dick then. Maybe leave a duplicate and give the dad the original to shut him up.

At least your dad is bringing you into the 21st century! Accept the authority figure's will or face wanton destruction. If evidence surfaces against you, it's "fake news." Surveillance camera footage is deepfake. Just because someone parked their car badly and you righteously hit it doesn't mean you should pay for the damage. In fact, they should consider themselves lucky for you not suing them for your anguish caused by their egregious parking!
