Rant: Arguement over a little dimple dent

[totoybato]

grabe din, P100 na lang tinanggap pa? hehehe. hindi nga disente yung naka enkewntro mo.

[sirkosero]

sana nakuha mo yung plate number para ipa-blotter mo na lang...

[allen_the_great]

dapat kasi ikaw nagbubukas ng door for your GF.. hehe joke!

umm yeah, pag ako un, id give him the 200 bucks para sarado na ang issue.

[chris_d]

lambot pa naman ng body ng accord, i've got so many dimples around, kaso sobrang liliit nde nga kaya ng pdr, kaya pag nag p-park ako sa corners usually to lessen the risk of getting dimples...

pero sana kahit 200 man lang...

[caloyski5]

imo, he felt that he was the aggravated party and he expects you to be apologetic in your approach and because it appears that you even tried to be argumentative about the issue, this could possibly have flared him up... my 2 cents peace...

same here..

sakin lang, 300 sana binigay (since ang alam ko lang na PDR place is buendia auto center) tapos siyempre, kasalanan ko, so sorry mode. . i wont say na maliit lang naman. kahit papano kasi, your door hit his. too bad too that caught in the act(?). tapos baka na-wrong timing pa na bad mood siya at sayo nalabas ang sama ng loob. learning experience na lang. kaya pag kasama ang kumander, park nearer on your side 2 petot advice. cheers!

[Gumusut_Amige]

ingat nalang sa susunod bro. kaya ako after mag park sinasabihan ko kagad kung sino man kasama ko bago bumaba " o dahandahan sa pinto ha baka matamaan ung sasakyan sa gilid"

Ako nag-install ng rubber door guard para iwas dimple sa katabi at gasgas sa oto ko.

[Hero33]

He was the aggravated party. You should have kept your cool more. 200 bucks isn't relatively much for a learning experience.

For us who love our cars dearly, a dent is a dent. Lets not forget the time that will be wasted and the gas going to a PDR.

[chain]

i get those door dings all the time sa Accord ko... and yes, malambot nga ang body nito.. that's why i avoid parking in tight spaces. (kasi mapapadalaw na naman ako nyan kay Richard & Rovic hehehe)

IMO, sobra naman na participation kagad ang sisingilin. but still, reparations should have been made. exacting revenge by scratching your ride is another thing though...

[smooth]

in fairness, no offense ha, minsan yan maliliit na gasgas at dents na alanganing ipasok sa mga shop pa minsan ang mas nakakainis eh... too much hassle kung talagang ipapaayos mo at kung talagang maalaga ka sa tsikot eh medyo badtrip nga.

anyway, mali rin naman na gasgasan nya ang kotse mo kung sya man ang gumawa nun.

i agree with you. mas nakakainis talaga ang ganung maliit na dent kasi hindi nga ma-i-pa-pdr. so you'll just have to live with it. kung masinop ka talaga sa kotse, mas maiinis ka kasi may tama ang kotse mo at hindi mo maipa-ayos ito. baka ang talagang recourse mo na lang talaga e ipa-repaint ang buong pinto para lang maayos. now, for the purposes of discussion, suppose bagong repaint ang kotse niya. ilang buwan niyang pinag-ipunan. tapos, first night out in a mall's parking, carelessly nasagian nang binuksan ang pinto ng isang AUV na katabi mo sa parking. what's worse, hindi mo mapaayos sa simpleng pdr kasi sobrang litt. ang only recourse mo e ipa-repaint ang buong pinto (gayong kaka-repaint pa lang). tapos, (eto na) ang may-ari ng AUV na nakatama sa pinto mo, bibigyan ka ng P100. para atang adding insult to injury yun a.

kanya kanya lang iyan bro. maybe for you, you can live with those little dents. pero for some people it might be a nagging issue. to each his own.

now, i just have to say this. no one is sure that the driver of the accord ang nang-gasgas sa kotse mo. at best, circumstantial lang yan.

btw, i'm just airing my opinion. i don't have an accord and i don't know the owner of the accord in question. its just na nung binasa ko ang account ng thread-starter ang naisip ko lang, "wow, bad trip yung nangyari sa accord." incidentally, kaka-repaint lang ng civic ko and i'm sure maiinis ako kung masasagian ako sa parking dahil sa pagbubukas ng pinto.

[ian_rex]

relax lang mga fellows. i doubbt na tsikoteer yan. kasi, pagkaka-alam ko, walang mainitin ang ulo sa mga tsikoteers. true we love our vehicles pero losing cool about a simple dent on such incident is downright foolish.

nakuha mo yung plaka?

baka naman driver lang yung nakabangga mo? minsan mas arogante pa mga driver kesa mga amo e.

[Sheep]

hehe dont speak for everybody pag nadedent auto ko automatic right hand ko tumatama sa jaw ng nag dent lalo na pag pangit ang explanation sa akin

[Horsepower]

hmmm, ok pala yung ako lagi nagbubukas and nagsasara ng pinto for my lady. hehe.

[Horsepower]

Question: For example bago kotse mo, tapos na-dent, isn't it just right na pa-repaint mo yung buong door at the offender's expense?

Last resort na siguro ang repainting. Kasi baka hindi na magterno. Minsan naman madaya, terno kapag bagong pintura pero as the car ages lumalabas yung difference.

Siguro PDR muna for the dent. Kung maliit lang yung gasgas, manual touch up na lang.

Pero singilin mo na din siguro nung just amount yung naka-damage.

Nung naka-dent ng pinto lolo ko (hindi niya napigil yung pinto ng 300SD), Php1,500 ang binayad niya dun sa tinamaan niya (Sentra yata).

[BoEinG_747]

mas madalas ang ginagawa ko drop ko na sila sa mall or supermarket .at ako na lang mag isa punta sa parking area may Cellfone naman ..tawagan na lang kung nasaan sila

ganon din kung manood ng sine .sabi ko mauna ka na pumila sunod na lang ako abonohan mo din muna ..

[Flagg]

Naiintindihan ko yung Accord-owner kasi kung ako yun... P100 kulang na kulang. Kung ako naman ang may kasalanan, bigay me agad at least P500. Mahal ko kasi tsikot ko kaya I take it for granted na other people love their cars, too.

Wag na tayo magalit kung ano ang balak ng aggrieved party sa pera. Sya na nga kasi ang aggrieved party and dapat may kabayaran ang kasalanan sa kanya. Bahala na sya ano gawin sa pera. Buti nga di pa nagtawag ng pulis para lang aratin ka & magsayang ng oras. Technically, it is within his right to do so. Mas lalong bad trip yan kesa additional P100.

[Fast Eddie]

i just parked my auv right beside a honda accord, which was about to leave. as my gf got down, the door lightly tap on the honda's door.
as i got down, the owner of the honda is trying to check for dents. which he did and tried to point it to me. it had a dent alright but it was too small and too light. hardly noticeable. and then he goes "pano ba yan?"
i said sorry pasensya na. he told me hindi daw pwede ganon lang kasi i 'damaged' his car daw. ok then sabi ko how much would you like me to pay?
then he started blurting out na participation for insurance would cost... then i quickly interupted him. sabi ko walang insurance ang tatangap nyan. kahit PDR nga baka hindi tanggapin kasi sobrang light lang ng dent. then he goes to say that i still need to pay cause i did damage his car.
so ok. i gave him a hundred bucks. then sabi nya kulang daw. dapat 200. i told him na PDR only costs a few hundred bucks and yet i also told him na hindi talaga tatanggapin ng pdr yan. i even told him na kahit bigyan kita ng pang pdr mo e hindi mo naman ipapagawa yan kasi sobrang liit lang.
so the arguement goes back and forth until he tell me ' o cgena '. he took many shots of my car and his car from his digicam.

i was rushing that time to catch a movie so iniwan ko nalang. but in my mind bigla ko naisip baka gumanti ito. but still in a rush so pinabayaan ko nalang. (and mahirap mag hanap ng parking)
pag balik ko after the movie un agad check ko pag dating sa parking. i saw a 2 inch scratch on my door. scartch still has tiny paint particles dangling.

i hope the owner of the honda is a tsikoteer. i would like to know what would he replied.

lessons ito sa mga tsikoteers. nxt time magbukas kayo ng mga doors nyo,
dahan-dahanin lang ang bukas nyo. kasi property damage yun, hindi
pwedeng makuha sa pa sorry-sorry lang kahit gas-gas na maliit lang. magagalit talaga ung owner na nagasgasan nyo lalo nat bago oto nila.

kung meron kayong maliliit na mga anak, payuhin nyo na magdahan
dahan sa pagbukas ng door nila. o kaya ipagbukas nyo sila ng door
para wala problema.

[ch0k0y]

kasi minsan ilagay din natin baliktad ang sitwasyon baka pag ikaw naman ang gawin ganoon baka magalit ka rin. kasi bad trip talaga yung meron nagbubukas ng pinto nang hindi tinitignan kung merong tatamaan.

I think this is the perfect answer. Try to put yourself in his shoes. Eh kung me nakaparking nga na di ayos dami na comments ng mga taga tsikot....much more kaya yung pagbukas ng pinto na natatamaan ang katabing kotse (there was a thread in here about this). A dent is a dent, malaki man o maliit. Kung OK lang sa yo ang maliit na dent baka sa iba hindi. I know one guy who counts how many swirls he has on his car and if this case happened to him, am sure you'll hear more.

PEACE.

Para akong nade-dejavu sa thread na to-- same thing happened to me and my wife a few days ago nung may malakas na bagyo. I was parking at V-mall and the only available slot was against the low wall so I parked paatras. When she opened the door--biglang may super lakas ng hangin coming from outside which made her door slam sa door ng katabing car. She was trying so hard to hold on to the door para di madala ng strong winds but the wind blew harder and her door hit the other car's door the 2nd time---mas malakas pa. Feeling ko talaga ang laki ng dimple sa min and sa kabila. (malakas na BLAGGG! ganun ba naman ang tunog).

Bumaba yung driver and we checked, sorry ako ng sorry mabuti di naman pinalaki nung driver kasi nakita nya talaga yung nangyari, yung hangin talaga kse hawak ng wife ko yung door pero natangay pa din nung hangin. Wala namang obvious damage sa car nya, parang liit ng dimple sa crosswind nya tapos yung amin thankfully saved by door guards. Yun pala yung tumama sa kabilang door--so walang tama yung auto namin except yung door guard na rubber naman yung ilalim so okay lang.

Nung okay na, I decided to park in another area na lang--baka kse ok tapos biglang gumanti yung driver pag alis namin so umalis na din kami and lumipat ng parking dun sa walang hangin, baka kami naman ang tamaan ng ibang pinto

Thankful din ako dun sa driver. Lesson learned, wag magpark dun sa pwedeng pasukin ng malakas na hangin pag malakas ang bagyo.

tamang ginawa mo, nagpark ka sa ibang lugar.

lesson din ito sa akin. minsan masyadong mahangin siguro mga 60kph and
lakas ng hangin; nasa outdoor kami noon. sa kawalang malay ko binuksan ko kaagad ang door ko, maya-maya hinipan ng malakas na hangin and door ko. medyo nayupi ung front fender dahil sa lakas ng swing the door ko. buti na lang meron siyang 'metal/swing stopper' sa may bandang gitnang bahagi ng bisagra. kung walang swing stopper ung door ko, siguro nawakwak all the way ung door ko.

kaya ngayon tuwing masyadon mahangin, ina-alerto ko ung misis at anak ko na hawakan mabuti ung door bago nila ibukas kung malakas hangin.

pay attention kung malakas ang hangin, hawakan at hwag bibitawan and
door nyo bago buksan.
