Default Why is it . . .
when you go out of your way to park your car away from other cars, somebody still manages to give you a door ding?

I got my first one yesterday. Small ding and scratch/chip just above the driver's side wheel well. (Go figure).

Honestly, the scratch doesn't bother me (that much), the ding is going to drive me crazy (even if most people will never notice it).

Sorry it's been eating at me all day.

Default Or why is it
That when you park, the largest SUV/truck always seems to park next to you?

First one hurts the most. You gradually become numb to it.
