ever retaliate for a door ding?

I think its only fair they get some sand, scratch, or a ding of there own if they did it and don't even care that they did... unless I could get if repaired with no $$$ out of my pocket then I would reconsider retaliation.

I'm in the same boat as everyone being concerned about my car doors. However, allot of other people don't share the same concerns and therefore will think we are crazy if we ask for their insurance info. to get the doors repaired.
I'm thinking to have some a layer of that clear bra on the side to have it soak up as much dings as possible, then reapply if necessary. That's my thoughts on this.

Retaliate? Never.
I just learn my lesson and make sure that I "discriminate" people based upon their vehicle, their appearance, their ethnicity and the number of kids they have and then try NOT to park to a vehicle whose owner matches this criteria.

If I were angry enough that I wasn't thinking straight. I would jimmy their door open and take all their belongings, sell them on craigslist, and fix the dent.
However, if I manage to stay calm, I would just drive away and chalk another one up to idiots with no respect or courtesy.
I always make it a point not to hit someone else's car, even if it means me squeezing my fat **** in and out of my own car door if they or I accidentally park too close.

My paint already sucks on the Lexus, so I'm not too concerned about door dings. The only noticeable one I have was from a friend, got out of his car in a high-wind storm, lost hold of the door. He apologized; no harm done.
When I'm in public, I park far out and just try to avoid the situation all together. Like someone earlier said, it's hard to conclusively prove that it was the person next to you, unless you're in the car when it happens. In that case, give them hell; don't resort to being passive-aggressive, it doesn't get you anywhere.

What do you mean, your paint job "s***s"? From what I've seen, Lexus, Toyota, and Audi do what are arguably the best, most mirror-like, paint-jobs in the industry, although several other automakers, today, come close.

his car is a 95 SC300....15 year old paint usually doesn't look pristine

2 weeks ago walking back to my ding free 07 IS caught a woman in the act, had to open her back door all the way to contact my door so it was easier to load crap into her car. Calmly showed her the small ding & scratch she was causing. She denied it, said the damage was already there. I told her I hand washed the car about 6 hours ago & it was not there or anywhere on the entire car & she owed me at least $30 to compensate me for her negligence. She said I was crazy & started making excuses. Went to get in her car & leave so I left a fist size dent in the offending door.
