I’ve had more dings in the 8 years we have been here than the entire time before it. Really dinged me off the first couple of times, but I guess now I’ve just accepted it as a part of the cost of living here.

Inconsiderate
Yes, the person who did this was very inconsiderate. Look on the bright side though. Now that the first ding is out of the way you don’t have to worry about it any more.

But if it's a ding, it's just a ding. Not a big deal. Not even important enough to make the list of "first world problems." My car was new when I bought it. It was a "lot car." The dealership employees used it to get lunch for the crew and similar. It only had 300 miles on it, total. After driving it off the lot I discovered it already had a ding in the back. The dealership offered free ding repair for the first 90 days. I could never get in touch with the ding guy (it was a subcontract job). The 90 days expired. I got over it by the 100th day. Really - it's a non-issue. |

We (esp me) are VERY careful where and how we park. Been in TV for over 6 years - not one ding on our new cars. phew. But, must say, on one of the very windy days earlier this week - opened the car door as usual (no cars next to us) and the wind caught it. But luckily (as usual) I had a hand in the armrest. If I didn't and a car was next to us...BANG!
The TV folks, IMO, are no more inconsiderate with their car doors or shopping carts as anywhere in the USA.

happened to me with a brand new astro van. parked in the middle of the lot and someone in a clunker lstation wagon decided to park right next to me and unload about 5 kids and two very overweight adults. came back to a large dent on the side they parked on.oh well that van did me good for 15 years.

And I would add it's part of the cost of merely THINKING about going to that Colony Publix shopping center.

I’m sure Publix has a camera in their parking lot. Perhaps you can find them that way? That’s horrible

I know what you are talking about. Got dinged by someone's Red Buick SUV. What the perp doesn't realize is the paint from my car is on the edge of their passenger door. I make a note to look for such cars every time I go out.

We dread those first dings! Whenever we got a new car, I would hardly drive it. I didn't want to be THE ONE who got the FIRST ding. Spouse would be so mad. Once that was over with, I could relax. LOL

Inconsiderate
Some people are so inconsiderate. They park right up against you and throw their doors open. Jerks.
