This happened to me recently. A car traded paint with mine; there was no real damage (scuffs) and I didn't file a report or claim. Then I forgot about it altogether.
It was a non-event to me until my wife found out, months later. I get why she was upset (it's data) but don't (it's noise) at the same time.
Even if we paint women as overreactive, that's kinda their survival mechanism. Men are just as easily painted as dismissive; we only concern ourselves with immediate threats. Someone shooting at you and missing isn't a non-event because they missed, it's eventful because it signals the threat that someone shot at you.
