When someone opens a door into your car, whilst sitting in it...

What do you do?

I've just been to McDonalds, and whilst i was sat munching a delicious McChicken sandwich, this old codger pulls up next to me.
He then reverses and pulls abit closer.
Our lass said to me "No door left for you then.."
And with that, the absolute moron opens his door into my passenger side; chipping paint off the bump strip.
He looked into my car with his mahooosive jam jar glasses and then proceeds to try and get out the car again, and again the idiot smacks my door.
And just to take the piss, he more or less falls out the third time, mutters something and then strolls into Maccies like he's just won a free meal.

Now, if you were in my position, what would you do?
Bearing in mind, he was about 75, and looked pissed.
If he was younger, i'd have probably got out and given him some shoe pie, but i thought i'd give him a heart attack if i said something.
What a clayton! :mad:

I was waiting for him to come out so i could say something, but i had to be back. ¬¬

I'd of took his details and get him to give you money or threaten insurance job, the amount of tossers on the road who just don't give a crapp annoys the hell out of me. 75 or 25, it's no excuse!
May seem a little over the top, but meh if people respected property you'd never have a problem!

Now of course you'll get the same bunch coming in "omg its only a clio", but it's your car at the end of the day!

  Whichever has fuel
So you let someone smack into your car and just sat there??

I would have got out, explained that he's just damaged my car and either he pays up or gives me his insurance details. McD's will probably have carpark cctv aswell.

Why just sit there and do nothing? :S

Get out, make him aware of the issue and come up with a grown up solution. Or poor my milkshake all over his car.

Think of it the other way round, I bet he would of confronted you if you had done it to his, so age is irrelevant IMO.

You b**ched out, admit it
I wrote this post didn't i? I was only asking what anyone else would have done?
old enough to be driving old enough to pay out for a claim, simple as.
Yeah, fair play. Just seemed a rate hassle for chipping a bit of bump strip.

I know. The idiot. Fair enough. I've done the wrong thing there then.

i hate parking my car in car parks. everyday i walk the extra 5 minutes so i can park on a road instead of in a car park, previous car i had got battered after parking it in a car park every day for a year

Wish i'd have parked over the road now. But it was pissing it down. What makes me laugh is that i work at Tesco, and not once had my car got a scrape or a scratch, and i park here and boom.

As a matter of fact, the same thing happened to me a year or so back. I got out as he was walking towards the entrance of the supermarket, asked for him to come back. He didnt care. Yelled HEY YOU, he turned around, walked next to me as i was pointing at the spot where he damaged my door. As i stood up, he grabbed me by my coat and threatened to punch me in the face. Then i pussied out, walked away and carried on with my life :(

I hate these situations because i was just so surprised of him attacking me, i forgot for a second that i was right and he damaged MY car, not the other way around. Wish i could turn back time to act like a man, not a pussy :/
 
Hope you know your GF is now going to dump you after a 75 year old made you look like a little b**ch.

Even if nothign came of it, you should have said something.

But I understand your reluctance to say anything, even though it was his fault, he could be on a tiny pension and just about affords to keep the car/independance. I know my Grandad would be pretty depressed without his car..

Some of the stories on here are beyond belief. You let somebody bash your door twice and walk off, and you didn't say a word?
 
I'd have smashed his head open with his door. Bullet Tooth Tony style.

See how he likes the taste of them apples.

Cool, killing a pensioner seems like an appropriate response.

A guy called Adolf once dropped his rye bread butter-side-down on the floor, he was also known to over react.

  Shit little Yaris...
After the first hit...

A. I get out... walk round, spot the damage...

B. Tap on his window and ask him to explain his actions...

Then decide on the next course of action after his reply. If he's ready to cough up £75 for the inpending repair - all good...

...if not i'd of politely reminded him that OAP's die quickly in the cold with smashed windows and Flat tyres - 75 or 25, he'd get some hassle. He clearly didn't give a flying f*** about others property - so balls to him!
