What if you kicked the wrong car? How do you know there wasn't a car prior to the Subaru that dented your car and you blamed the POS Subaru? If I dented your car, I wouldn't leave my car in the same spot.
Because its walmart and its usually a family outing for those kinda people, so they are usually there all day. Good assumption.

I have parked in BFE at a walmart once when a piece of shit ford expedition pulls up next to me so I moved my car... They then yelled at me, "What, are we not good enough to park next to your little car?" I said, "You got it!"

Same here, and I think cars tha deliberately park next you in BFE deserve retaliation. Thats why I always carry a box of roofing nails and brake fluid ^^
I like using fecies with a surgical glove and smear it on the door handles and such!



J/k

Story;Guy buys a brand new small truck.While he is sitting in Denny's he sees a lady getting into her car and she hits his truck with her car door not once but twice.He says excuse me,I'll be right back.He goes out to his truck,slides over to the passenger seat,puts both feet against the inside of his truck's door and starts kicking as hard as he can.Lady is sitting in her car as it rocks back and forth from the impact.He gets out locks his truck and goes back into the restaurant.Lady sits there for a bit and then drives away.

There is no winning here. I understand your anger. Asiliat, what happened to you happened to me before. I was so mad that I keyed the person's car. It's such a shitty thing for people to do. Once I pulled into a spot and some guy pulled behind me and gave the WTF gesture. I didn't see him, but I assumed he had dibs on the spot. I pulled out and he smiled and waved.

I'm glad In a way I live in a place where there's great weather. I park far and walk a little farther.

One thing I hate is people who take 2 spaces because they think their cars are too good.

All these things are why I drive a beater Accord, and 6 years later my S2000 is still ding free. My Accord, however, has not only door dings, but actual creases from people hitting it so hard. It's f'in ridiculous how disrespectful people are. I've never retaliated against someone that dinged my door (but I would if I knew who did it and they were still there). However, when I see some asshat that is over the line, I have the distinct advantage of not giving a crap about my car, so I get as impossibly close to them as I can just to try and make their life a little more difficult.

That's why I couldn't stand to get rid of our explorer. The paint on it and dings on it etc are JACKED. I don't care where I park it. Plus it has a lot of utility.

+1 for beaters. I'm actually enjoying my beater since I don't care what happens to it. I mean, I don't like it getting beat up but it's not really a big deal if it does.

That said, mine has huge heavy doors so I'm going to beat most vehicles in a game of "my door makes bigger dings".

I gave up, and just left. At least I know she's running on wheels with less air, so she's going to get crappy gas mileage....

I suck at revenge.

Kicked in the tailgate of a guy's station wagon for dinging my new Cuda, while he and his wife watched. Unfortunatly the girl I was on a date with thought I was nuts, so that was a first date/last date deal.
