Where is quality job one?

My lovely wife was trying to park the Ford when the passenger side mirror scraped the mirror of a parked Honda. The paint on the Honda mirror housing was scraped. The mirror housing on the Ford snapped off, and now dangles by the control cable. She left a note for the guy, with our phone number and an offer to pay. He called and said that we didn't have to pay for anything, since the damage was so minor. I thanked him and repeated the offer. He declined compensation. "It's an old car," he said.
