Would you feel guilty if you did what I did the other night, and was it a dick move?

So here’s the story. After taking my family and elderly parents to dinner we exit into the parking lot and I get everyone loaded in the vehicle, only to find that the drivers door can only open A small amount for me to get in the vehicle. The person on the left had done the worlds most inconsiderate parking job And parked so crooked that their front right fender was just a few inches from my driver side door. So my choices are have my father get back out of the vehicle and stand in the parking lot while I climb over the center console To reach the driver seat or become a contortionist and squeeze in through the small gap allowed by the inconsiderate driver next to me.

I chose the latter, and opened the door as far as the neighboring car would allow and then entered my vehicle. Completely aware of the fact that my door may leave a blemish on the neighboring car as a result. However once in my vehicle, as I was backing out, I saw what appeared to be not just a simple rub mark, but very likely an actual ding near where the door had been in contact with the other vehicle. No it’s not 100% certainty that it wasn’t there before but it’s a good 99% chance that I caused it.

Now I was pissed, tired, and had a vehicle full of tired family. So I went home. But now after time for reflection I’m struggling with whether or not I was wrong to not leave a note on the window or at least get out of vehicle to more closely inspect the mark. I think I was wrong to just leave and wish I hadn’t.
