So I'm sitting in my wife's black 323i in this shopping mall and this older guy with a big beer belly in a beat-up Rav4 opens his door all the way and it hits my side mirror pretty hard.

I'm like "What the (&*" and I get out and start yelling at the guy. He kept saying things like "I don't even think I did it." I could tell he was nervous and didn't know what to say. He just kept blubbering. Anyway, I knew there was no damage cause of a protective plastic trim around the mirror. I just wanted to give him a hard time so he'd think about it next time he opened his door. Now, I'm a little guy (5'6", 135 lbs.) and this guy was easily a foot taller than me and many pounds more! It felt really good to let him have it.

So I got back in the car and just sat there watching him. He didn't know what to do, probably guessing that I'd vandalize his car if he left. After walking around his car a couple of times nervously, he finally got back into his car and left.

I'm usually a mild-mannered guy, but he caught me at a bad time. Nothing like catching a guy open his door on a bimmer. If I would have been in my WRX, who knows what I would have done!

Anyway sorry for the OT, just feeling good...

way to go bro!=)...I had the worst ever one time...this ditzy chick in an SUV tried to share a parking spot with my CBR in a crowded mall parking lot about a year ago. Needless to say, the two didn't fit very well and my CBR got flipped on it's side. Luckily I was walking up just as she was (hopelessly) trying to pick the bike up off of the ground. I couldn't believe that she tried to talk her way out of it...I was like.."you'll have to wait here until a cop shows up lady...lol, I thought she was going to cry!

 

I just got back form a trip to El Paso texas and a lady opend her door to wide and hit my passanger side. It left her paint on my car about a 8 inch streak that iam going to try to buff out because she gave me a fake insurance paper.

 

That sucks. I hate people who don't have any respect for other people's property. I don't care what car is next to me--even a Yugo--I'm always careful opening my door.

What's worse is people who try to get away with it.
