REALLY? Why aren't people civilized?

First up is my passenger side rear door handle. Some inconsiderate SOB decided to mash their door into it. Looks to be down to primer.




Next up is the drivers side rear quarter panel. There's some weird zigzag scratch and two chunks of paint taken out of it. That might also be a rust bloom there, I'm not sure. Car isn't terribly clean right now.

REALLY!?







This car isn't even 6 months OLD.

Biologically we are still animals.

I am surprised things aren't worse.

Re: REALLY? Why aren't people civilized?

When I took my car into BMW Service. I came away with about 5 stone kicks on each side of my car.......Most likely from door dings. BMW claimed they didn't do anything, but they are retarded

Re: REALLY? Why aren't people civilized?

Because to most people, a car is just a car. There are probably some garden aficionados in my neighborhood that are appaled at how I mow my grass. All depends where you passion is mate...

With people getting fatter, they have to open the doors wider, I guess.

Re: REALLY? Why aren't people civilized?

I feel your pain, I just got a fresh dent in mine with what I hope is just paint transfer. Some people are assholes these days, 'nuff said.

Re: REALLY? Why aren't people civilized?

People just aren't considerate of others (or other peoples property) any more. I have noticed lately that in my area, people will deliberately speed up to block you when you try to merge. The best is I saw a lady come out of a mall one time with a bunch of bags. The lady actually set the bags on the trunk of the car parked next to her, while she dug in her purse for her keys, then opened her trunk, took them off the other car, put them in her trunk then left. People are unbleievable.
