Rant about ignorant people slamming doors into your car

So today I pull into the Wawa to grab a coffee, and as usual I park in an open are a with spaces vacant on either side of me. For some reason I sat there a minute and messed with my iPod. Meanwhile this lady pulls in close next to me in the space to my right and slams open her door into my car. It was enough that I felt the car move, accompanied by a THUD. I started hollering "WOAH WOAH!" and got out and said "That's really not good...I need to check this out closely." Then, out of her mouth comes NOT ONE TINY BIT of apology. No "sorry", no "it was an accident", no "my door slipped"...nothing. What she does it YELL AT ME. She says "OH I think your car is just fine, nothing happened. Stop over reacting. Get a grip." Now, after inspecting it, somehow miraculously, it didn't dent. There is just a small scuff/scratch. At this point, she already left and was walking into the store, ignoring me! I yelled that there was, in fact a scratch, but she ignored me and kept going. I hate people. What an ignorant C. One little sense of regret or apology on her part and I'd be fine with it since it's basically no damage that I can't buff out, but no, she has to be a queen bitch.

Lol, I would have torn shit up if she actually dented my car and walked away yelling at me like that. The fact that I know I can buff out the little scuff saved any unneseccary revenge. There was a nice "LEARN TO DRIVE" post-it note left on her car though.

Ha ha ha...nothing like a good "throat puch" to wake somebody up.

What a bitch. Sure accidents can happen, but at the very least an apology would have been nice.

I grabbed coffee today as well and had to park in the open. Shortly thereafter a girl drives up in a Porsche and out of all the vacant spots she decides to park next to mine. So I look at her then I'm relieved once I see her responsibly open her door softly. In both our cases though I wonder why they didn't park elsewhere. Plenty of vacant spots.

As I left a similar Porsche parks next to the other one, and before that an older BMW convertible was there. Was kinda funny, 2 BMWs, 2 Porsches. The guy got out of his Porsche and I heard him talking on his cellphone and he said "the BMWs have always gotten great mileage."

*edit: btw I got my first door ding 3 weeks after getting my car, and I was hugging the curb but still some dumb@$$ went ahead and hit my car anyway.

yeah i seriously dont know whats up with girls parking where you park (when theres no car on either side of you). i wanna examine a girl's brain once. i think they think like "oh look theres a car over there that means i can park there too oh my gosh no way"

about 90% of times i have parked alone (intentionally), a girl is ALWAYS the first person the park on either side and i dont know why but it just bugs the shit out of me.



same story happened to me though, and to make things short (i wasnt in the 335 it was another car) the girl, with poor english skills (not gonna name any certain ethnicity) tells me to just take it to pep boys and have them buffer it out and walks away with her friends. she parked to my right and the person whos door slammed into my door was the girl behind her (passenger behind driver's seat)

i could have sworn a car hit me or something when they hit their door. me and my girlfriend were just talking in the car and all of the sudden BAM. i was scared shitless...

they tried to play dumb and act like they didnt speak english, needless to say after they walked away they came back and moved their car into a parking garage realizing that i would do stupid shit to it. however, lets just say, i found the same car and left a little surprise for the driver

Same here. I had my car for three weeks and was very paranoid and careful about where I park, but still somehow got dented.

Contrast this with my Jeep, which I've had for 2.5 years. I park it anywhere and everywhere, and routinely drive it through hellacious trails, without a care in the world, and there is not one dent anywhere on it. My luck is unbelievable.

Great responses guys. Appreciate the moral support
So I guess I did leave out one small part of the story. In addition to the Post-It note, I think I did accidentally cough forcefully in the direction of her car. I have bad allergies, and it was early in the morning, so unfortunately a fairly large golf ball sized globule of mucus flew toward her car and splattered .
