Should I report if someone dings into my car with their door while at a parking lot? >park in supermarket parking lot >organizing papers >old roastie and two kids come to car next to me >little shithead gets into car slamming his door out as hard as possible >clearly hear a bump >get out and tell old roastie her kid hit my car >exchange insurance When I take a better look at it I might be able to buff it out but it might not look the same as it was before.

Pic related.

Closer look.
Andrew Collins
That will buff out, but what you need to worry about is if there's an actual DENT
Kayden Fisher
It doesn't look like there's a dent. I'll double check.
Connor Lewis
>parking near people >parking where other people might park Not even once. Not even in my daily beater.
Alexander Young
If no dent tell her to give you 50 bucks to have a bodyshop buff it out

Fucking why, Veeky Forums?
Dylan Peterson
>>cars stopped having door protector strips Let me introduce to you the Citrone Cactus, protecting your own doors, but the rear doors are designed to be battering rams to send other cars into ding-hell.
Chase Morris
>a car that is built around the woman
Never thought these would sell, but I see them more and more often now. It'd be nice of those bumps on the protectors was reactive armour which could eliminate RPG shells or small posts that women usually drive into.
Mason Evans
>Fucking why, Veeky Forums?
It's due to the increased competitiveness in the market. Thus neither the manufacturer nor dealer can afford to put physically effective ding protector strips on the door edges. They look ugly and scare away potential customers looking at the cars. If the car market was less competitive, then they could afford to pre-install those ugly things. I remember in the old days they did just that at my local Ford dealership. But that was decades ago before the japanese car invasion.

do you remember when you had to manually pump the gas too, geezer?

shit happens, don't worry about it.
next time park where there are no other cars.

>little shithead gets into car slamming his door out as hard as possible Some teenagers are like that at mall lots too. They are too much into themselves and their cellphones or whatever people they are going to see at the mall. So they just open doors unthinkingly when they get out and do it again when they get back in.
It's all about convenience to those people. A narrow opening inconveniences them.
But I will say, if someone dings me, I will remain quiet in my car and not rush out. They will never pay for it and even deny it. That is how people are now. I can touch up the ding myself. My windows are tinted dark. So be remaining quiet, I wait until they go in. I watch very carefully to see if anyone is in their car. If not, then I scoot over to the passenger side from my driver's seat (don't open my driver door), I look carefully at their car again for a passenger or side camera. I put on my cap from the back seat.
I get out with my hand low on the thigh and multikeys out. As I walk along their car, I act like the side of my hip is brushing along the car. That way it doesn't look like I am extending an arm out to scratch so any security camera will not see me. I keep my head aimed down as I now walk towards my driver's door. I get in and drive off.
You always have to have plausible denial with all the security cameras. Thus you can never look like you have an outstreched arm or are reaching out because that can convict you if the person you scratched is a VIP who uses their contacts to push an unreasonably expensive case against you at taxpayer expense.
As you leave, don't go near any mall buildings where cameras are. Just find the nearest driveway out and go. Hopefully MULTIPLE other cars will park next to their scratched car soon and take the heat.
Austin Thompson
You know what, I think parking spaces became narrower as well.
I remember parking in the same spot I always do every day 10 or so years ago on the exact same car and having enough space to pull out a wheelchair even on a non handicap space.
Now, I cant even pull out an umbrella without having to do some Chinese gymnast contorting.
But yeah, people have become more and more retarded with their parking and driving etiquette.
William Flores
I believe in NEVER fucking with another's car but if they are reckless faggots opening doors I'd say that keying their shit will help them learn to never do it again.
Easton Fisher
>Should I report if someone dings into my car with their door while at a parking lot?
No, it might raise your insurance rates or be added to the list of items that once the minimum quantity is met, will then raise your rates. Some policies make no distinction between chargeable and non-chargeable accidents; they just simply count all accidents.
Reporting accidents may also appear on databases if a future dealer looks at that to determine trade-in value for your car.
Dylan Jenkins
Depends on how intentional and how easy to make not noticable
>landwhale parked next to wife at work on her passenger side >every day opened door into her car >14 red dings over a week period >filed police report for destruction of property and theft >cops showed up at her work to inform her of situation
Pretty brotier cop told her that she could probably make it go away if she gave me a thousand bucks.
Normally I just ignore it and move on, but if its intentional im gonna kek em.
Lucas Gonzalez
I am the same. I don't fuck with other cars unless they fuck mine. When I open a door that is close, I put my fingers on the outside edge. So the only thing that can touch their car are my knuckles as I slowly get out.
I then judge if they have passengers or not. If not, I go in. If it looks like they have passengers, then I will move to a new spot if others are available. I lost faith in people because there are just too many "low quality" people out there now whose parents never taught them to be courteous but to simply go out there and seize all the wealth they can because it is a ME FIRST world. It's a fundamental cultural change that began in the 1980's and continues to this day.
Josiah Watson
I mean report it to the offender's insurance. I got their info.
Aiden Wilson
I had a guy ding my door and refused to acknowledge it and walked away.
Jokes on him when I slashed his tires and cut his brake lines. No one messes with my car bitch
Julian Hall
>I had a guy ding my door and refused to acknowledge it and walked away.
I just assume they will deny it, so I never confront them. That would only let them know I was the suspect if anything happened to their car. I think in the future, I will do as said. If no one keys their car, they will NEVER learn their lesson. It sucks that a "don't ding other cars" lesson have to be rammed down their throat. It's not hypocrisy to key their car; it is teaching a lesson.
Connor Murphy
In New York they can only legally surcharge you for an accident generally if it results in more than $2K in damage and you are majority at-fault.
Caleb Thompson
I just wait till they're gone then hit their shit with a ballpeen hammer a few times.
Or I break those little 1/4th size windows.

I have never keys someone's car. UT I have sabotaged people who song my shit and are then asshole when confronted about it.

Have pulled all 4 valve stems off peoples cars. And of its easy to get to I have cut shift cables and popped a few cars into neutral that won't roll into someone else's car.
I think I might be a terrible person.

Side door is fitted with lighter version of KOHTAKT-1 ERA, so it doesn't add 500kg of extra weight just maybe 120kg. As a result the ERA goes off easier.
>little brat smashes door into your ERA enchanced car >KONTRZRYV.mp3 >the ERA blows off the door of the other car with the kids arm still clinging on to it.
Glorious soviet ERA from the 70ies saves the day.

>park truck in 2nd story of parking structure >almost completely empty, park in the middle with 20 empty spots on each side of me >come back later and some faggot mexican parked their truck in my spot >literally 5 inches between him and my passenger side
Needless to say they got the nastiest, chunkiest chocolate milk lugi on their window. Idk what's up with spics in socal, anytime you park away from people, they park right next to you. I think it's part of their herd instinct.

Logan Thompson
not related to OP but I braked pretty late once and NEARLY rear ended some pooinloo, barely touched their bumper and echanged a smudge of paint. pooinloo got out and literally said "SERIOUSLY????" and looked at the smudge on the back of the car. as this happened I instinctively blurted out GET FUCKED!!! and sped away never to be heard from again. first and only time this happened. what would Veeky Forums have done?
Josiah Williams
>I have sabotaged people who song my shit and are then asshole when confronted about it.
You are my hero. I'm just too chickenshit most of the time to confront anyone.
Gavin Thompson

You're a faggot. Too bad they didn't chase you down and shoot you. Own up to your mistakes
Oliver Lee
>fat white women pulls up next to me >her little niglet swings the door open and straight into my car
She's already raising kids up with a poor courtesy attitude. When I was little, my parents would watch me, and tell me to be careful about things. I still remember when I was little and would open doors slowly and not hit other cars. I thank my parents for caring not just for me but also about society.

They definitely get narrower. They repaved the lot where I work and made all of the spots narrower so they can squeeze one extra person in on each side. They don't shop there so it's not their doors getting dinged.
