Default Avoided 2 Door Dings Today

I am extremely careful with my car door, no matter what I am driving or who I park next to. I hate door dings with a passion. Today, I had to go to the post office. Limited parking, narrow spaces. Knowing I wouldn't be long, I pulled into an empty spot as an older woman was getting into her car to leave. If I wouldn't have made eye contact with her as she was getting in, I would have another nice door ding. As it was, when she saw that she was being watched, she was very careful with her door.

I ran in, got my mail and as I was leaving, another car pulled into the spot next to me. I also made eye contact with the other driver. She looked like she was in a hurry, but when she saw the Lexus next to her was occupied and I was watching her, once again, she was very careful to control her door.

I guess the average jerk will behave themselves when they know they are being watched.

Sad to know that you have to be there looking at them for them to respect other people's property. Haha, I do the same thing too
