> (In reply to rossowen) If they scratch your car by them being careless, get their details from them and claim on their insurance, If they start being a dick about it, wait until they are gong and put a nice deep scratch, all the way through to the metal along the full length of their car.
Yeah, criminal damage, that's the way forward!
If you really feel the need to annoy them, why not just let their tyres down? Will cause them more inconvenience than just being a mindless vandal?
I try my best not to hit other peoples car when opening my door.
I wish others would try to be just as considerate when parking. Especially if they are parking next to my car.
And park so close that I can't actually get in the car without my door coming into contact with their car.
I probably deserve to have my car damaged by some moron with a spanner though, for having the temerity to want to get into my car.
I agree, a "Sorry!" or some form of recognition that they have accidentally bumped your car with their door shouldn't be too much to expect - but I find it hard to get too wound up about it.
Unlike people *intentionally* damaging other peoples property for fun or from misplaced feeling of anger, I can get wound up about that.
