People that do not respect cars!!

OP: you have every right to get their attention and tell them not too, that fact that they argued is even more pathetic than thinking metal cannot scratch paint.

It seems like the more you care for a car, the more things seem to some your way. I swear that is true in my own experience and it can be truly infuriating. To sit in a car, have someone park next to you, slam their door into your car, and look at you with not one hint of regard for what they did is appalling. Then, even when you get out and confront them, they say that it is just a car or who cares you can barely even see the dent.

I can only hope that I would have the self control necessary to keep myself out of jail. I am a pretty calm person but that would push me over the edge

If something like this happens ask for their insurance info if they walk off let them, immediately call the local police dept and have them dispatch a officer to your location. Once they arrive explain the situation to them explaining that it is a hit and run and that you can identify the person in question and have them wait until they return from their shopping (probably walmart) once they return enjoy the look on their face when he begins to reach for his cuffs.

The police will not treat that as a hit and run. They will tell you to stop wasting their time.

Trust me if you get the right one they will. I know I will treat it as such as a Military Policeman in the USMC and I know alot of my buddies on the civilian side does the same thing because we take care of our cars and feel that people should respect others property no matter how minor it may be. Granted we wold not haul them off to jail for this type of infraction but it will make them worry, alot and it is fun from my end just knowing that they cannot go through life pissing on others. but Just look at the evidence, you had contact between two vehicles which left visual damage, one driver left the scene without exchanging information, in any state your in that is leaving the scene of an accident. at minimum you get the insurance payment to fix your door and their rates increase.

only if you have an attitude like that. but most i know will respectfully help you out in this situation, granted there are those out there that are like you in your attitude but most take their profession very serious no matter how small the infraction may be. and for all of you that dont know the secret when pulled over by law enforcement when the officer ask you why you were pulled over and you know the reason dont lie, we make our judgment with the first words out of your mouth if you are truthful you will get off with a warning depending on the infraction unless you are a habitual offender.

Oh, I was so close to the edge. I was sitting in my old car when it happened and was more shocked initially than anything not from the fact the door hit my car but their complete lack of regard or remorse.

At school, it is even worse. Like the time I saw a girl put her handbag on MY car's hood once she parked hers next to mine so I yelled from across the parking lot asking what do you think you are doing and she just looked at me, shrugged, and walked off. At least it was my last car and the scratches polished out but still.

That's crazy! I always wonder what people do around my car when I am not there. If I ever caught someone doing that I would jump on their hood lol

Man that is crazy. I haven't seen anything like this happen to my car, but I would get mad and start yelling too. Not as much as I would have before though, since I have a bunch of the inevitable rock chips and scratches on the car already. I kind of stopped worrying about it to a certain extent. My car is always parked outside and I drive through a construction zone on the highway everyday, so I know there's no way its going to stay perfect unless I overly obsess over it.
