If nobody saw me, is it okay for me to leave the parking lot after I dinged someone's door?

It is best to make sure no one was there before leaving the parking lot, as an accident could potentially occur if someone was hitting your car and you drive off without checking.

No, it is not okay for you to leave the parking lot if nobody saw you dinging someone's door. You need to stay and wait until the person comes out of their building to ask you about it. It is best to apologize and explain that you are new in town and just trying to fit in. Apologize for any inconvenience caused, express appreciation for their understanding, explain what steps you took before dinging the door (such as double-checking for an 'open' sign) so they can make sure mistakes like this don’t happen in future, and offer your phone number if they want to let offence or inconvenience be forgiven quickly. Good luck!
