Are people retards

So i come out of work, and look down at my driver side back door, and see some red paint, i take a closer look and there is a silver dollar size dent and from some retard who must have opened their door into mine. I dont get how people can be such dumbasses, you see a car next to you, you dont slam open your door into there car, so now, i have no clue how much it is going to cost to repair. And makes my ponder why i pay 900 dollars for insurence a year that refuses to pay for it, sure take my money, but dont do what you exist for, fixing my car when something happens.

sorry for the rant, im ****ed

yes, people are retards. I am not sure if it works, but you can get that As seen on TV product that you pop the dent out. You put the two suction cups things on the edges of the dent, turn the crank and it supposedly pops out the dent. as far as the red paint / scratches.. touch up paint?

Re: Are people retards

Find the best paintless dent removal person in the area. Depending on where it is in the door, they should be able to take the dent out pretty easily. A little rubbing compound will take off the red paint.

I know, people drive me crazy with the parking lot damage. I had a car I was putting in the paper. The day I was going to put it in, I ran into WalMart for some batteries. I went directly to the register, grabbed some batteries, paid and was out of the store within 3-4 minutes. I even parked to the side and little further away with nobody on either side of me. Someone had put a 4 inch long ding in my door within that time. My friend does paintless dent removal, unfortuneately the dent was too big and in a bad spot for him to do. A week and a $250 deductable later, I could finally put it in the paper.

that little dent thing does not work at all. especially if it is silver dollar size, cause the smaller it is the hearder it is to fix, cause it is alot stronger. That pulls out huge dents. My friend had on and pulled a dent out of his rear panel. We walked by it and it sucked right back in.

this is why i alwasy look for a corner spot in parkinglots. if you park close to the corner people cant hit your door. and since its the corner spo, no one will park next to you. ti is time consuming though.,.

Also, dont park next to F-bodies or any other 2-door cars. They tend to have long doors that reach way out to dent your sh*t.

Yes, people are retards, but it's your own fault for parking where people are going to park next to you. I would like to live in a world where people had a.) a brain and b.) respect for others expensive property, but we don't, so you have to park far away/find spots where noone can park next to you/etc. I park about 12 minutes from my office just so I can park in a garage where there's a space that's on the end and divided off by a concrete post. Even then I pull around and tuck in behind this railing to get my car as far over as possible. There's a garage right across the street but it's tiny and I would get dings like a madman if I parked there...nothing you can do about it.

If you park far away, some ***hole will park right up next to you just to be a jerk because they are a jerk. Just be thoughtful and a little wise when parking and deal with the dents if they happen. Also remember to think about the wind on windy days. Make sure you are parked in a direction where the cars next to you will have their door blown closed, not open when the person goes to get in/out of their car. The end spots are good, you can hug the outside edge.
