I hate humans

I parked at ihop, came out after eating and there was a nice dent over the rear tire like if somebody decided to open their door as hard as they could and slam it against my car. "Oh shit, that guy's gonna be pissed. Oh well, I don't see him" I'm sure this is what they were thinking. I wish people had some integrity... Oh well...

how do I take out a minor dent? should I just take it to a shop?

Find a pdr (paintless dent repair) shop in your area. They truly can do incredible work.

People aren't that bad. I forgive the jackass that dumped a dried up Christmas tree on my boulevard this week. While I spend time cutting it up for disposal I will pretend I am cutting the perpetrator into pieces.

PDR FTW

There are some mobile dent removal companies. Like whaap said they can work magic.

This has happened to me 4 times now. I am fairly certain people are doing it on purpose. I have come to accept it.

Inevitable part of life. Unfortunately there are too many people in our society that just don't give a shit about others' property.

PDR will do wonders for you, it's an artform when done correctly.

Also, I hate birds. Most human (I hope) wouldn't shit all over my car.

I always park out away from other cars. Most people do not care about anything other than their own stuff, they probably looked at their door and saw no damage so they drove off. It can be inconvenient to park out, but unfortunately it comes with the territory of driving a nicer car.

I picked up my car last night. Went to lunch today and came back to find that someone had left a shopping cart right on my bumper. The cart return was like 10 feet away.

Thankfully there were no dings or scratches this time, but seriously, fuck people.

Same happened to me a month after I got the car.



I took it to a paintless dent repair but since it had a crease in the dent he couldnt fully get it out without potentially cracking the paint. That was only $25

But I am way to picky to look at a crease all the time so i took it to a shop to get repaired, since it was on the door and they would have to respray the whole door anyways it was $250.
