Parking lot door dings

So, I was sitting in my car in the parking lot of a professional building (not that the location matters) when my car literally shakes because the person parked to the right of me opened their door into my passenger side.

My reaction was an immediate, WTF? The offending driver (also in a nice, late model vehicle) looks over and shrugs with an oops look on their face.

Said driver was befuddled at the fact that I got out of my car and had issue with the fact that they were going to call it good with a shrug and a "sorry" mouthed through closed windows and drive away.

Am I wrong to express my displeasure? Especially since they got out and said, look, no damage. Prior to getting of of their car they didn't know that because they didn't even look.

I get it, shit happens but this person was going to drive away with an 'oh well' attitude.

Had I not been in the car I may have never known but I was and it really grinds my gears.

My thought is to put them in their trunk then leave thier phone inside the car on the back seat with the ringer on loud... 🤷‍♂️

Maybe also livestream it and start our own WWE?

I do my best to never ding doors. But now I just try to park away from others. Because people suck

Oh it's time to open up a can of whoop ass for sure 😂

Ugh sorry that happened, that shit definitely ruins the day.

Would it have been better if they got right away and took a look and apologized? I've accidentally done this once before as I was getting out the car. Honestly no idea how to handle this situation lol.

Yes! That would have made a difference for me. Like I said, shit happens. But getting out of their car, looking for damage and an I'm sorry would have made all the diffence for me and being responsible enough to care. I would have said thanks and let it go.

This should be legally considered a self defense situation. Hopefully one day.

🤔 Not sure I follow?

If someone does that you should be allowed to fight them and stuff 😇

...and stuff! ...
