Phil, I know this is well in the past now but you handled that way better than I would have. I'm still in my mid 20's and full of testosterone. My daily is a Scion Tc, not the nicest car in the world but I love it none the less, when ******** are inconsiderate and do crap like that I make it a point to not be careful with my belt buckel or the rivets on my jeans when I'm sliding into the 4" space the left me to get into my car. I would never intentionally mess up someone's car, but I show them the same ammount of respect that they showed me. I think it all stems from this sense of entitlemnt that people have today, they park in no parking zones or jam into a space that is obviously not for their car. I'm a pretty docile guy, but if you mess with my car you might as well have just punched me in the mouth.

Some people just dont care. I was watched a lady at work get out of her brand new Chevy Suburban (paper tags still on it). She must have wacked the car next to hers 4-5 times with her car door. Didn't even give it a second thought. Well the hell???

Phil, Glad your car didn't get dinged (2 1/2 years ago!!!). I believe that most people do not give a crap about their cars and therefore they don't give a crap about your car. We went to a convenience store last weekend, my pregnant wife and 2 year old son stayed in the car, and a lady driving a Navigator opened her door right into the side of our car (not one of the P-cars) with my wife looking at her... When I got back into the car, my wife told me she didn't think the lady even knew she did it. I went to that side of the car to look at it, while the lady was still there, and I purposely let her know I was looking for damage from her door. I didn't see any damage but it's still BS that people do this stuff.

My wife was sitting outside her work having lunch last year with her car parked right in front of her when some woman pulled up next to it and just popped her door into the side of my wife's car. Being right there she saw it and so said "Excuse me, you hit my car with your door, please be more careful".
So what does the woman say?
"Mind your own ****ing business!"
I don't remember the rest of what happened, but it involved the woman coming back to her car later and hitting my wife's car with her door again when she thought she wasn't looking. There was a scratch, but that door was keyed in a huge way a few years back anyway. I just don't get people sometimes.

True story: about a year ago, my co-worker picked up his 2006 BMW 330i on a Friday after 3 months in the body shop (for rear-ending another car). The next day (Saturday), he gets this monster door ding on his front passenger door during lunch, right on the crease and down to bare metal. It went back to the body shop the following morning for another 3 months.
Whoever parked next to him (out in BFE) did not leave a note or anything. $800 worth of damage. Yeah, this country is going down the tubes...
