People lean on your car. Do you say something?

Ron

Panic button without them seeing you activate it. They'll think the car has an alarm and won't lean on it again lol. I would drop by and make one of those "it's a joke but I'm kinda serious" type of comment about them leaning on the car. You'll get your point across and they wont think you ur a D.

What if it was 3 hot chicks leaning on your car and caressing it?

Speshal

I never hesitate to ask people not to lean on my car if I see it happening. Normally they're perfectly understanding and sometimes quite interested when they see what they've been leaning against.

I would offer them to lean on and caress something else..

Good looking girls are okay as long they have round asses and yoga pants, 100% cotton so I know they aren't leaving swirl marks.

Ron

^^ Nobody is leaning on my car unless they have microfiber pants haha

I would have said "hay please dont lean on my car" Your not being a d**k but your also letting them know your mad. People dont realize how easy you can scratch a car, especially if its dirty or dusty. I have just recently explained to my GF how you can mess a car up and she no longer leans on any of my cars.

I agree with this approach, especially if it is someone who you might run into later at work, the neighborhood, etc. You can be sure none of those people own a nice car, or take care of their car, and trying to educate them will fail. If they want to think you are overly neurotic about your car, no harm done.

I had a colleague lean into the p-side window with her purse in front of her. I yelled at her to get her effing purse off my door. It was a knee jerk reaction. I apologized immediately, but really bad about being overly harsh.

I am sorry, but you just don't touch other people's cars in any way -- nice cars or POS. I cannot help myself and I admit I am not nice about it. I don't care who it is.

I was teaching a class at Sac State a few years ago and was having a smoke in the parking lot before the first meeting. I was looking out at the cars and noticed a few folks standing by my Z (280zx) and one of the clowns had set a 3 ring binder on my hood. I excused myself from another faculty member with whom I was talking and walked briskly over to my car and stood there staring at these idiots and the binder planted squarely on my hood.

These geniuses were oblivious to me and so I said "Excuse me, what the f**k is your problem?" One of the weasels then said "huh" or something and I told him to get his f**king binder off my car. He complied and said nothing. I parted saying that only doucheb@gs put their stuff on other folks cars and pondered aloud what was mentally wrong with him. That particular zx was primered at the time -- ready for paint, so I didn't much care -- except for the principle of the thing.

As it turns out, both of these mental midgets were students in my class. It was a fun quarter.

Unknown people touching or putting things on my car is like touching my wife's ***---> unacceptable and asking for a wake-up ball kick, knee to face, then neck punch.

I definitely would have had to say something. It probably would have been somewhere between Mr. Onzedge's and Mr. Kenchan's responses, where the former was perhaps a tad too harsh and the latter too mild. Also, I wouldn't have taken the time to go inside to get my fob. Immediate attention would have been required. I get it that these are co-workers...but they're being azz-hats.
