Two days .. YES TWO DAYS ...after I drove mine home i pulled in a parking lot next to a friend who has just pulled in ahead of me. BAM! I think she kicked her door open with her foot. We could not see anything in the dark and she is a good enough friend that i will not tell her what I found the next day. Looks just like the OP photo.

That ding would drive me nuts, hope you get it fixed soon OP!

Yup, exactly.

Karma is a bitch, and sometimes you get to see instant paybacks.
One of my best memories of all time is when a friend of mine had parked his newly finished '39 Pontiac in front of his store. As a group of us sat in his store admiring his ride a woman that he knew pulled in next to it, slung open her door and hit the Pontiac pretty hard. Tony went outside, confronted her about it and all she said as she walked off was "it's just a car, get over it.....".
Tony, who tipped the scales at over 350 lbs., didn't say a word. He got in his car, leaned back across the seat, opened his door and kicked his door with both feet, hitting her car so hard that the glass broke out of the front door, the back glass fell into the door and the mirror popped off. As she came running from the store next door, Tony got out, stopped and said, "You're right, it's just a car." She couldn't even open her door!!
To this day Tony is one of my heroes, and if I ever see the person who does a similar thing to my car, I intend to do Tony proud!

Here's my little story. I took my mother to the store one day and waited in the car. After a couple of mins. a man and woman pulled in next to me. When the woman opened her door she slammed it into mine and gave me a dirty look. She said nothing and went in to shop. She left a small ding my door. The longer I sat there the madder I got, so I got out and and kicked in her door. My mother came out and we left. That was thirty years ago, I'm not proud of what I did but no one I've told this story to have said they didn't want to do the same thing at one time or another. I've learned to control myself over the years. I guess some people never will.
