Default Rant** Door slammers

Seriously how can everyone that gets out of my car think they need to push as hard on the door as they can to shut it. Its heavy, and gets worn out enough by regular shutting ,then come along those people. I cant stand it, I rip people out who do it. Anyone else get annoyed???

I hear ya. I don't yell at people over it. The few people that have done it realized their mistake as soon as they heard the door slam so loudly. They were like, "Oh (crud), sorry man! Closes easier than I thought it would."

So far, no one has slammed it more than once. They learned after the first time.

You'd think people would realize it's only a car door, not the door to the Sistine Chapel. It doesn't weigh a thousand pounds.

Yeah, I also get annoyed by those that leave fingerprints all over the glass or paint to close a car door. Your hands are dirty, greasy and/or oily, keep them off the car's glass and paint at all times.

And so help you, lean on my car and I will motherbleeping hurt you.

I've never had a big problem with people slamming my door on the Monte Carlo. However, the '50 Chevy, EVERYONE feels the need to slam that door!! They apparnetly think that because the thing is now 60 years old it's door is going to be hard to shut... no, just shot it like you would anything.

I hate it, my doors seem like thay have zero insualtion and when they close it sounds terrible. get in, sit down, shut up is my policy and don't get to comfortable because you may get tossed at the next light!
