[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You shouldn't let a 4-year old open a car door himself, if there is another car within hitting distance. That's irresponsible, and you know there's a chance in 5 your kid would hit the other car, and 10 chances in 10 that your 4 year old will hit at least a car or two if you always let him open his own car door in tight parking spots.

But I can tell from the state of my car sides that people in DC DGAF about damaging other people's cars.[/quote]

Nope, because in DC most people do not have their entire identities tied up in their cars.  No, I really really do not care if someone's car (or my own car) gets a small (or large) scratch on it from a kid opening a door into it in a parking lot.  I really do not understand why people think that small dings and dents on cars are such a big deal.  Everything else that we wear or use gets worn out through daily use- shoes, clothing, etc.  If some kid spills paint on my shirt by accident I am not going to yell at him.  So if you really think that it is such a big deal for a kid to open a car door into your door then call the F down and realize that you are mad at a child over a piece of property that is depreciating every day no matter what.

Currently drive a newish CRV. (<50k miles). [/quote]

Yes, exactly. I get if you're like 25 and think the world revolves around you, you think your car is the end all and be all of the universe. You'd think people would have some perspective on what is important and a major deal in life after having kids.
