Is it bad manners? Noisy (or nosey) neighbours? Crude dress? Expensive groceries? Rainy days? I know this isn't an overly positive toipc, but as is life, we're only human and sometimes things just tick us off...

I agree with you blueyes. I was returning to my vehicle one day when a woman backed into it and dented it.. She looked as if she was going to drive off even though she must have felt the bump. When she saw me looking at the dent she did have the decency to get out and talk to me. We came to an agreement that I would get a quote on how much it would cost to repair the dent and she would pay me herself. She did not want to go through insurance. Yes, she did pay the quoted price. After-all, I had her registration number and name and address and it was in a country town where we both lived at that time.

However, like you I have other dents - mainly from doors slamming into my car at supermarket car parks. I also have many scratches possibly from supermarket trolleys.
