All my vehicles have big, heavy doors that must be SLAMMED closed to secure properly. They also open very slowly due to their weight. Never dinged anybody, never gotten a ding (Though I have gotten scratches from other people's doors)

Lesson: 80's > You.

um, boohoo? It's a fact of owning a car. Short of parking it in a single car garage all it's life, it's going to happen.

yes but it still would be nice if other people pay attention when they open their doors

I am super careful when I open my car door, I never EVER ding another car

I got a new car last month, and within 3 DAYS someone had put a 6" scratch down the back of the passenger mirror casing, and then the next day someone had decided to etch into the hood a little doodling.

The best part of this all.. it was underground parking in an assigned spot! No video camera footage either. I was soooooooooooooooo pissed beyond belief.

A rational decision by a rational man.
  • We went to a friends house tonite to have dinner. We finish eating and I have to go get something from the car and to my horror there are about 10 kids playing in the vicinity of my car parked in their driveway.

    I give the car the once over and no scratches. I get back inside and find myself constantly looking out the window to see what's going on. There are beads of sweat on my forehead and I think I'm gonna start hyperventilating soon with no paper bags in sight. The conversation after dinner is a distraction as I'm trying to figure out how the hell I'm gonna get out of here and save my car as the kids circle like vultures around my defenceless vehicle waiting to run into it with their bikes and scooters.

    After much consultation with myself I decide to feign sickness which is beleivable as I'm pretty quiet the whole time and have this look on my face that a 1st year Med student just gave me a prostate exam.

    I go to the washroom and pretend to throw up, wouldn't have to pretend if I had to stay there another hour. It works with the wife and we get out of there. Gave my car another once over and it seemed OK. As soon as we pulled
    out this wave of relief came over me and I was in a happy place again even though it started raining as we left and the kids started going inside. Felt a little silly then. The worst part though is I had to fake being sick the rest of the night and that's why I'm up right now posting this at 2 A.M. I'm sick and I can't sleep.

    I think I was rational about this and that may be the scary part because I thought this was normal behavoir. An ounce of prevention is a pound of cure I always say.

    Has anybody else here had to think really fast to get your car out of a high risk situation? Were you proud of yourself or did you realize you were 5 cans short of a six pack? Thank you all for your understanding of my brush with disaster.

That's what I was trying to convey to your overloaded pubescent mind. My old minivan is blue and I hit a car with my door. Have you pulled your head out of your ass yet? ;)
