I think the best way to sum it up is level of care/reaction to vehicle damage is on a continuum. Just like OP wants to kill someone for a dent there is another guy who doesn't really care.

Maybe it is tacky to quote a movie, but the quote from Fight Club has stuck with me because I find it really true. "the things you own end up owning you"

Sure someone damages my things I would prefer it not happen but I'll get their info and ask them pay for it. If they don't or it was a hit and run there are avenues to pursue and also you have insurance.

And I don't know how not caring about door dings and little scratches makes someone "one of those inconsiderate people that drive like assholes". In fact in my experience people who drive that way also over react to the smallest of incidents.
