Hell of a door ding

Rone · 07-17-2012, 03:16 PM

Happened in the hospital parking lot. The culprit was one of the nurses that works there. The rows in the parking lot are one way, angled parking. I backed completely out of my spot, but I paused for a split second to plug my phone in. I saw movement out the corner of my eye, looked over and everything went into slow motion then she hit me. I was in total disbelief. We both got out and she immediately started rubbing on my car saying, "it doesn't look like it did any damage, it should clean right off."

When she pulled forward after hitting me my door panel popped back out, but the metal is crinkled. I couldn't believe she tried to pull that sh!t.

Keep in mind the only thing I said to her was that I needed her info. She tells my co-workers that I'm over reacting and that there's nothing wrong with my car. People really make me sick.

The pics don't really capture the damage that well, but when I get home I'll use a real camera to see if that's any better.

B.S. - You should call the cops whenever you get into an accident like that... Especially when they start in with the "that will buff right out" ****.

I would be pissed too. Lots of bad drivers in hospital lots/garages

Was she large ? I do notice large people tend to open their doors and push on the car next to them trying to get their largeness out of their cars...just saying...

Thats some serious bullsh!t, damn that would piss me off.

hope you still got her info and get an insurance claim going for the repair.

it doesnt matter what she thinks, it is property damage and her insurance will need to pay the damage.

Is that your white Z I see on Sheppard all the time by any chance? I always saw a white touring+sport but never saw the owner. I drive the white base+sport, but I just left Sheppard on my way to Mildenhall.

The door ding would make me mad enough, but her reaction would make my homicidal.

People are responsible for door dings according to judge judy, so get a couple estimates and confront her.
