There seriously is no rhyme or reason to why people do things sometimes. I went to Home Depot yesterday after work and as always I parked away from the entrances and made sure there were no vehicles parked immediately nearby.
I am perusing the tile aisle when my alarm remote goes off and displays a hammer impacting the vehicle. This usually means there is some sort of force hitting my truck. So of course I leave my Mom and rush outside. There is not a single vehicle parked near my truck. Yet when I walk around to the passenger side my rear passenger door has a definite streak of white paint.
The paint goes vertically from the door handle and downward in two other spots. It looks like someone parked next to me and then slammed their door into my truck. I tried rubbing the paint off and it smeared onto the handle and didn't come off the door. The Home Depot has cameras and I asked if it was possible to see the area where I was parked but they said I would need to file a police report and the cops would have to request it. Since its not major damage I doubt anything will come of it.
But WTF, how hard would it have been to hold a door when exiting a vehicle or make sure to cradle your hand between your door and any vehicle parked close. This is something I always do especially when I drive my old beater and I have to park in close quarters. I know this sort of thing happens to most everyone but when you work hard for what you have and you try to take care of it this sort of thing just gets to me. Okay, now I'm done venting.
