Default Post your parking lot "mishaps"

So after I get done doin my shopping at wal-mart two nights ago, I come out to my car to find a dent in the passenger side fender the size of a f-ing cantaloupe. Now the passenger side door creaks when it opens, then obviously there is the dent . All wal-mart could tell me is that there was too much ice on the camera and they couldnt see anything. Lets post some pics of some of your parking lot "mishaps". Maybe it will make me feel better! I'll post pics tonight!!

I had 4 door dings pulled for $50 a piece and had the car looking almost perfect. Then the next week my girlfriend opened the door into someone else's mirror and dented my door. Really made me mad, but I just kept my cool. Wasn't long after that that she opened my door into a minivan... didn't hurt it, but left a white mark on the edge of my door too... :-|

Sucks. Somebody keyed my Scion the first week of June at the school lot.

I park between a Mercedes C Class and an IS350; I don't see any door dings from school happening.

I have none (knocking on wood) because I park far, far away. Even at work...I'm least four to five spots away from everyone. Since I'm night-shift person; I'll go to Walmart around 4:00 am; I always park in the next door store's parking lot.

Yeah, I try to park far away, but it seems like every time park a mile away, someone always just needs to park next to me. About 7 months ago, I was parked at the mall, way the heck out there. when some of these people pull into the parking isles, they dont slow down, or look around themselves. Some jerk sideswiped my car, and did $6k worth of damage. I cant win!!!!

Anyhow, lets see some of those pics!!!

I got a ding at Wal-Mart, too... 2 months ago. right on my passenger door on the body line. =(

I also have a real small ding in the driver fender. It's not even noticeable, but I can surely notice it!

I'm going to get them both fixed next month hopefully.

I park far away as well (usually I take the furthest spot possible). Unless I see a cluster of lambos, ferrarris, and porches, then I don't mind parking next to them (usually at best buy early sundays).

Only "mishap" I have is sometimes I forget I'm still in gear when I start the car and I let go of the clutch as I'm putting on my seatbelt. Kinda embarrassing.
