How Do You Open Car Doors?
-
Yes, how?
Do you swing it hard wide open without THINKING of the car next to you?
Does your passengers open their door carelessly?
Do you remind your passenger to open carefully after you parked? -
I open mine with tender loving care. Dunno about others, but the dents on the sides are testament to something.
-
i always make it a point to watch out for other people's car.

depends.. if the door i am opening is an old car and the next car also old car, i use more stength to open

Normally those dents are caused by passengers... guess it's not their car so they simply bo chup and open the door wide... I've just got my car for 1 month plus... and my car already kena scratches at the driver's door and dent ..Originally posted by ShutterBug:Yes, how?

Personally from my experiences, I feel quite a lot of people out there are either selfish, inconsiderate, or just plain not thinking.
In just one week, I experienced two incidences of people opening their door and hitting the side of my van! And both incidences I was seated inside the van waiting for a colleague.
First incident I was waiting and parked in a parking lot in a light drizzle. A euro-van pulls up and reversed into a vacant lot next to me (right side), and carefully parked his van. Then suddenly the passenger swung his door open knowing I am there and inside my van. His door clunked against my door quite hard. I got furious, wound down my window and shouted at him; "Oi!! You open your door like that?!?!" I got mopre furious when he pretended not to have heard me. I opened my door and got out, and started to examine the area his door impacted mine. I then stared at him and remarked again; "How can you open your door like that?!?!" And he bends over to exmaine my door as well as if indicating that he could not see any damage. And indeed there was no dent. But the point is not whether there was a dent or not, the point is when you have offended someone, you should apologize and not pretend like nothing happened. I then said while he was examining my door; "Next time, look before you open your door!!" He just said; "Orr..." I can't believe it, not a single SORRY!
The stupid driver all that while was fidjeting over something behind the van, I think pretending not to notice or too afraid to come over the passenger side to intervene. The passenger walks away quickly to join his buddy at the back of their van. I looked around at their van, checked mine again, went to the back to look at what the hell they are up to. They were busy looking through some paper works, while mumbling away. I stared at the driver he looks away. I went back to front and the both of them walks away, the passenger turned and looked back, I stared again and he quickly looks away.
Damn! Was I mad!
I got back into my van, and after about 3 minutes, the two of them came back, got into their van and drive off. Presumably to park somewhere else for fear of being scratched or something.
The second incident, again parked in a lot while waiting for a colleague, a black shiny Grandis pulls into a vacant lot next to me, and again a friggin rear passenger opened his door wide enough to clunk against the rear side of my van. I stuck my head out and scowled at the driver then the stupid passenger who swung open the door. This time I didn't say anything, but the driver immediately apologizes profusely; "Sorry sorry sorry, he wasn't aware and open the door too hard..." I said; "Oh? Is it?!?!"
Before I can say another word, he drive out of the lot to park somewhere else while the stupid passenger walked away rather quickly...
People are just either mindless, selfish, or just farking inconsiderate of other people around them, but a farking not guts when confronted. -
Luckily its just your van and not your jaguar man. I reckon the people who park beside you are more afraid of your van doors. I am.
-
open slowly.

i open big enuff to just nice touch nia.. slowly somemore..
but i dun dare to close doors cos i slam it very hard.. =X

i tried not slamming but the door didn close properly...

i open slowly.. open to the max with regards to the car beside mine. den i enter, go out.
if in shopping centres den park beside pillar, i tell passenger to be careful.
and when first-time passengers in my car wanna get off, i tell them, "this is my car. not a taxi when u can just bang the doors."
i hate ppl who just bang the doors! -

Had my 1st door dent (also known as a ding) when my car was just 2 days old!
I found out there was something called Paintless Dent Repair that can remove the dent without panel beating + painting.
It cost me $30 but I was happy with the results. Good as new after that. -
if the car beside park too close to mine, i will swing open hard on purpose. blame it for parking poorly.
