More dings on driver or passenger side?

[tom p.]

passenger side: I can't count that high.

driver's side: 8 plus a hi-speed shopping cart strike

3 months since brand new delivery form the dealer and none yet

I try and park as far as possible from the mindless people who may harm my babe...

I back into spots wherever possible, so that skews my results.
I was 99% ding-free until my dep't got moved into a building largely populated by unresponsible teenagers in a call center
Now I have a bunch.

Passenger side has a higher chance of getting hit, since there will always be a driver getting out of the next car over. However, kids are often getting out of the passenger side (or both rear doors), and are much more likely to throw the door open.
I have a co worker whose honda is riddled with dings on his driver side body panels and it's from his kids in his own garage
my stategy for avoiding dings is to park far out, find an end spot and cosy up to the curb side. If I have to park in a regular spot, I still park far away (since the door dingers are more likely to wait for a close space, than walk an extra 75ft) and center my car in the stall.
I also prefer angled parking spots to perpendicular ones...

I had a line of perfect dings down the passenger side of my DD. They matched up perfectly with my wife's door which just happened to park on my passenger side. The wife swore up and down on a stack of bibles she was really careful and never put even one ding into my car. Yeah right!
I had them all repaired then we switched positions in the garage. Mysteriously my dings never reappeared , even on the other side, even though the wife proclaimed they were never done by her in the first place.
In public parking places, I always try to find the space all alone or if I must, try to park on the passenger side of other vehicles. There's no doubt the vast majority of dings come from the driver's doors of other cars.
With the summer driver, I have two magnetic plastic strips painted Imola red like the car. I'll dig them out of the trunk area and attach them in problem areas like places where a lot of old folks congregate.
Perhaps the poll should focus on what side the dings originate from rather than where they end up, but what side they originate from would be empirically more difficult to verify.
