Ding!
So I went out for some grocery shopping this morning and on my way back to my car I noticed this. No note left, no nothin'. I realize that it looks like I'm close to the line, but that's how skinny the parking spots are out here.
TL;DR:Some people suck.

I don't have a cat, so here's the result of my shopping - Imgur inspired crock pot chili!

I'm guess a kid did it since it's on the back door.

Sorry about your car

a dings better than a dong
FrederichSchulz
I can see why that can be annoying, but it's just a ding. Like the entire car is just a transportation thing, and a ding wont effect that
deathventure
Yeah, but sometimes you don't want your $20,000 transportation thing to be beat up lookin' before its time.
raifsevrence
$20,000 is even a good $5,000 short of where the stock models for the more decent vehicles start. I'd be furious if someone did that to mine
oberkrom
True, but you'd have to crank a door open pretty hard to dent it that bad. People who aren't conscientious really annoy me.
FrederichSchulz
Oh yeah, but doors are also annoying, because they have set positions where they stay open, and otherwise just swing wildly. I agree though
werewolfen
Wind could have whipped it open as soon as they unlatched it. Might have been a surprise. (But, could still be ignoramuses too)
raifsevrence
That is true. Now, let me just put a little spray paint on the front of your house. It won't change the effectiveness of your house right ?
FrederichSchulz
The difference being you doing this intentionally, while a small ding in the side of a car is likely accidental, caused by ignorance
raifsevrence
nothing wrong with that. A dinged up car looks bad. It's like having a visible stain on an expensive suit. People work hard for their 3
raifsevrence
That's asinine. It has nothing to do with the fact that it was accidental and everything to do with something someone cares about being 1
raifsevrence
I drive something nicer that I worked hard for like everything else I own. If I did that to a vehicle that belonged to someone else you 6
raifsevrence
better believe I would own up to it and pay for the damages. Owning up to your mistakes and taking responsibility for them is one of those 7
raifsevrence
furious and so would most other people. If I drove a shitty old hooptie I obviously wouldn't care. I do not drive a hooptie though. 5

possessions and are entitled to their desire to keep their possessions in pristine condition. Look at it however you want to. I would be 4
raifsevrence
defaced. Even in a small way. Some people, namely those who are not slobs, take pride in themselves and their possessions . There is 2
raifsevrence
things a lot of people refuse to do. That is no accident. It's a choice. 8
FrederichSchulz
Oh wow, why don't you drive around with a liability waiver on your car then, let everyone know you're going to have them own for every 1
FrederichSchulz
a tight fit for everyone in the lot. This situation, I know it's not your car, but if it was, is just like getting bumped on the sidewalk 8
FrederichSchulz
sidewalk you are probably gonna get bumped a couple times, and be fine. And you know what, you could have avoided that with a different 6
FrederichSchulz
sidewalk. Look at how small these parking spaces are. If you get a little bump or ding on your car, you should be fine with that, it was 7
FrederichSchulz
you drive it around everywhere. You put it in danger of accidental or even purposeful accidents by other people. An apology should be 3
FrederichSchulz
more than fine for small ding or scratch. And yeah, people should leave notes apologizing when they do something like this 4
FrederichSchulz
That's a polite to thing to do, like apologizing for accidentally bumping someone on the sidewalk as you walk by. And on a crowded 5
FrederichSchulz
little accident that might happen to your car, because of some little ding or scratch. How about, you spent all the money on your car 2
FrederichSchulz
hurts no one, unless you go out of way to find the person, and force them to pay up or apologize
raifsevrence
Bumping someone on the sidewalk does not leave a permanent mark on their person. BTW, automotive insurance is MANDATORY in this state. 1
raifsevrence
I , however, have full coverage insurance. I do drive around with a sign, albeit it an invisible one. It says " This is mine. I care about 3
raifsevrence
of two things to me; A) You genuinely don't care much about physical possessions or B) You're an asshole who would do something like this 6
raifsevrence
it. I also care about you and what you own." This is exemplified by my full coverage insurance which will pay for my vehicle or somebody 4
raifsevrence
and would most definitely avoid taking responsibility for it. It doesn't matter either way. Your opinion =/= mine and vice versus. 7
raifsevrence
I don't know how many other states have that same sort of law. That being said, Liability only insurance is mandatory, not full coverage. 2
raifsevrence
else's person/vehicle if damage is done. Be that intentional or accidental. That's what it's there for. Your stance on this issue says one 5
raifsevrence
That being the case I will end this correspondence . Have a nice day ^_^ 8
