RE: door dingers

["Dan Sinclair" <sinclair@prospro.com>]

This is one of my all-time pet peeves.  I absolutely despise people who
throw open their doors with no regard for neighboring cars.  Once in a while
the wind will catch your door and bump someone, that's one thing, but
there's no excuse for how inconsiderate people can be.

I have two really deep dings in my passenger door, and another smaller one
on the drivers side.  I've taken to parking in the remote locales of the
lot, or finding a spot that is on the end of a row and hugging the side that
doesn't border another car to make sure my car is safe from dinging doors,
but I picked up another one not a month ago.  Drives me nuts.  Have a little
courtesy folks!  Geez!
