More dings on driver or passenger side?

I was hoping we could conduct a semi-scientific test. Here's the procedure:

1) Go to your car
2) Smile at him/her and the glory that is your detailing prowess
3) Count door dings on the passenger side
4) Count door dings on the driver side
5) Report back here in the poll

PLEASE KEEP THIS HONEST by actually taking a survey of your car. Don't just fill out what you "think" the answer should be without actually looking!

I would like to develop a trend that will help me decide which side I should park closer when in parking lots! I have my hypothesis but I will not share it until this poll has had its due course! Thanks very much.

What if you dont have any?

That would be "0" driver and "0" passenger or Option 3.

I always get a ding or two on my cars

but I'm creating this poll to curtail this trend.

I would think the probability of getting a ding on your passenger side would be much higher than the drivers side, because their are more people who drive by themselves. Also because people might be more careful if its not their car they are gettin in and drivers might be more careless and also its a little harder to get in the drivers side because of the pedals and wheel. This is my hypothesis, we'll see if I am correct.

Miata:
I have 3 high level dings (look like an SUV height) on my drivers side
and 5 low level door dings on my passenger side.

These are slight dings but nevertheless I can see them and they bother me!

Driver door, I always back in wherever I go so the side most people get out on is the side that they hit.

I have more dings on my passenger side.

Someone put a 2.5" long ding in the rear door of my wife's mint condition, pearl white Lexus.
1st door ding in 10 years of ownership it made both of us sick!!!
I took it to Dent Wizard and 1 hour and $129.00 later it was totally out and no trace of it.
Peace of mind...priceless!

Later,

I have five on the drivers door and the left side. Two are from vandalism from and egging that I recieved and three are from rocks as I was driving fown the road thrown up by passing vehicles. That is not counting the rock chips on the lower rocker panels that my truck did all on its own. I do not have any door dings that I know of. I never park along side any vehicle. EVER
