You know the feeling... You park a million miles out in the middle of no where just to keep your body panels from looking like a sac of walnuts and yet some jagoff cowboy with plastic doors or worse yet an SUV always wants to park next to you. The worst part is they will always have four doors and a mess of kids that have no consideration for others propriety and just swing the door open with full force and proceed to exit in the most inconsiderate manor!
Just once I would like to catch one of these people in the act! If they were an adult I would just respond with a size 10 1/2 shoe print/dent in the side of their door... If the were just a snot nosed kid that knew no better I would have to wait until they turned 18 and got their first car and catch up with them one day with the company truck, once they exited the vehicle I would park next to them and proceed to open the door in such the way they did as a child but with the full streinght of an adult. I would then park on the other side and await him to come out to see the damage and observe his behavior. If he didn't seem one bit annoyed I would just have to let him go on ignorance however if he looked upset and paused to notice the damage I would have to approach him and say "Man, that's a nasty dent, you know I seen who did this.", naturally the kid would ask who.... Then I would say some kid getting out of a vehicle (exact year make and model as what he was in when he dented my door). Then I would proceed to describe him as a youth and see where that went. Needless to say there is nothing worse than poor parking lot door etiquette!
Yes I know I went off the deep end but just wait until it happens to you! If its true that what goes around comes around then I guess when I was a kid I must have exited the vehicle with lack of consideration more than once!! Cuz I been tagged 3 times over the holiday season!
