Door dings! People are idiots.

Mitco39 · 05-21-2013, 11:33 PM

So the girlfriend and I went to the theater and I took the car. I made sure to park way off in the distance only to be greeted by a nice big ding on the drivers door. Man I hate people. Does anyone make a magnetic stick on piece that you can place on your door to keep these idiots from wrecking my paint? There must be something removable out there that you can stick on when parked so then at least the door hits that instead of the paint.

I'm pretty sure it was the vehicle parked next to me that did it. The mark on my door lined up with theirs but I was not sure enough to leave them a note or something.

People are idiots, oblivious and some do it out of spite.
Years ago I had a pristine second gen RX-7. I came out of a grocery store to see it had been hit by 2 eggs. I had parked it normally (not across two spots), i was so pissed. Spite!
My wife's step Dad used to pull up or back up until he " tapped something" then he would go the other direction. In his case he was oblivious to the damage he was causing.

Do you have a GoPro near by? The suction cup on it can be used to pull our door dings if mounted well.

This only works with certain dents though. Door dings are usually too "small" to be pulled out with a GoPro mount, as strange as that sounds...

Strip any wax off the area, then heat gun and a block of ice. Polish, condition, and reapply wax. Or, have a body shop fix. Door dings suck!

Even park far away theres always some idiot that wants to park next to you. For example last weekend I parked the farthest spot possible...no cars around...and some fool in a volvo parked right next to me

Sorry to hear Mitch. Sucks.

kenchan · 05-22-2013, 07:07 AM

Sorry to hear. Take it to a pdr tech. Don't touch it if you don't know what you are doing it only makes the metal more distorted. Makes it that much harder to pdr.

Ding is usually one impact. It's a lot easier to fix one impact vs multiple impacts.

It all comes down to pure jealousy... if people would just worry about themselves this world would be so much better!!!

Mitco39 · 05-22-2013, 08:49 AM

I should be able to get it out, it didnt dent the paint, just left a nice big white scrape on the door. The car has a few others as well. And I did park as far away as I could, but as with parking around many of the theaters here they fill right up. Next time I am going to park across the road and walk, I thought of doing it this time around but at the time where I parked was next to two nicer vehicles on the edge of the lot.

I need something like this... lol. Not only will the ugliness make people less jealous, the bumper will keep the careless twits away.

This sh!t happens to me all the time, I even asked the guy when I was coming out of the store "Hey, out of this entire damn parking lot you had to park right next to me in the empty section, why?" All he did was shrug his shoulders...
