When the cost of doing the 'right thing' is so great, it STOPS BEING A VIRTUE AND BECOMES A LIABILITY instead. I recently learned this the hard way after choosing to leave a note for a car I minorly hit in a parking lot. That act of integrity was met with immediate vindictiveness. They came after me for $3,000, demanding a full bumper replacement for damage that could have easily been repaired for a fraction of that cost. Even after I paid over $2,000 to satisfy their demands and make them whole, they still refused to sign a standard release of liability. Sometimes, integrity or doing the right thing only opens the door for bad-faith actors to take advantage of you
