Ok, now that you're in here and reading, let me explain that my
definition of Door Dimple is the kind of dents, you normally get
from neighboring parked vehicle opening their door too hard and
wide, that it hits your car broadside.
I have a friend who lives in my HDB block. He is a regular business
owner doing small time trading goods and services, half Ah Beng
half English educated. He drives a very well kept Toyota Hiace van
which he polishes every week.
One day, he went to a nearby marketplace to have a meal (dinner or
lunch I can't remember now). When he got there, he found a vacant
lot and reversed into it. Shortly after he parked and turned off
his engine, another car (a new Kia - something I can't remember
also) reversed into the lot next to him. Before he could get out of
his van, the driver of the Kia (a middle aged guy with his
assumably, wife) swung open his door very hard and banged against
the left side of his van. In shock, he got out quickly to go take a
look at his left side panel; not surprisingly, he sees a very deep
indentation caused by the other party's car door. He looked at the
dent and then turn around to look at the driver. The guy and his
wife just walks away towards the market like nothing happened at
all!
My friend stood there watching him walk away, contemplated chasing
him down and giving him a few nice knuckle burgers, but thought
better not to get involved in a Police case. So he walks around
this middle aged guy's car and noted that for a car that has a
plate starting with SFX (very new) it sure has a lot of dents and
scratches (the kind of scratches you normally get from keys) and
its rear end has already been collided into.
So since he noted the other side of the guy's car was already
scratched from back to front, he contributed another long back to
front scratch with his van's keys. He said out loud after
scratching; "An eye for an eye.." and drove off somewhere
else.
Personally, what makes a person so brazen as to swing his door so
hard and wide that it damages neighboring vehicles? And why is he
treating his new car so carelessly? What more, he was aware that my
friend was still in the van and yet swung his door. ANd my friend
looks like am Ah Long bill collector! The old man isn't afraid of
getting beaten to a pulp??
After I was told this incident, I couldn't stop wondering why is
this person so "fearless"?
