That is the day from hell right there. Worst I got is 1 month after I bought my brand new 08 GTI, I was getting out of my car holding something in my hand. Anyway, I instinctively bend over and grab it before it falls to the ground, in the process, my blackberry case holder that I had on my waist hit my car in the worst possible way.
Basically the ONLY METAL PART of the case hit the door and proceeded to carve a 1 and a half inch gash into it. Everyday for the next 15 months of ownership(until I got my Z!) I would stare at it and it at me, as if mocking me in some way. It may sound like I'm overacting but I don't care.
And what was so important that I could not let drop to the ground? A piece of paper. It wasn't even anything important.
So, I basically got rid of the scratch by getting a new car, let someone else deal with it.
