Went out to eat last night, parked the S way in the back of the parking lot in what I thought was a good parking spot.
Had dinner, walked out to my car and there was a Ford truck parked next to me and his front tire was on the white stripe on the parking lot and it was close to my car. I checked out my car and sure enough, the idiot door dinged me! I know it wasn't there before, as I washed my car last weekend and the car was parked in the workshop all week. [I have a company vehicle.]
I was so mad I didn't know what to do.
What would you have done???

Honestly there wasnt much that you could do. You could of wait for him and maybe try to get 50 bux off of him to have it popped out by paintless repair or if it was just a accident and he/she was a good person, you could leave a note with your phone number and see if they will contact you.

 

i wouldve taken a pic , write him a note to contact me, if he didnt i will contact my own insurance to collect from him from his license plate number.
or key it

 

That sucks. I always say that I'd rather have a scratch than a ding. They are so unsightly. I think I would have waited for the guy/gal to come out and point it out to them and have them pay for it if their door lined up with the ding. Accident or not, your car was damaged by them and they should pay for it.

 

You should have waited for him with your .45 loaded with Federal Hydrashock ammo, confronted him, then pumped 1 round into each of his limbs all the while yelling, "Ding my door, huh, DING MY DOOR, MF'er" Then leave him to ponder his new life unable to ding another door ever again.

 

JUST KIDDING! :-D

BTW, sorry this happened to you. My wife's car just got its 1st ding after 2.5 years ding-free. Stinks.

 

mmmm, good ammo. Left a nice hole in my left hand (.40)!

It sucks, but that's life. There are people who can't park and don't care about other people's cars.

 

Did you line up the door? It WAS his truck door that dinged, right?

Could you imagine the bad karma of puncturing a poor, innocent pregnant mother of two's tire because some OTHER dumba$$ dinged your car?

But I feel for you. I HATE dings.
