OWW! Quit it!!

I do believe that it is time to buy some stock in whatever company is most responsible for bubble wrap - you know, those little blisters of air that drive everyone except the one popping them crazy (by the way, if you have the chance, through a sheet of it on the floor and blast over it with a rolling chair - it's bubble-genocide!).

Today as Holly and I were sitting in the car at the church parking lot, our car was molested. Literally, banged from both sides. Both cars parked on either side of us opened their doors into the sides of our beloved silver beauty.

OK, I understand that occasionally, your door opens a little to far, and taps the car next to you. We have all done it at one time or another. These were full on assaults that made me glad we invested in decent shocks to stifle the rocking that ensued. Thanks to modern door-framing technology there was no damage, but still!!!

Worst part about it - even though we were both clearly inside the car, neither of our assailants bothered to so much as say "Oops, sorry."

Makes me wonder, if our car can get struck like that twice in the span of about 3 minutes, in a CHURCH PARKING LOT, with us INSIDE THE DANG CAR, what the heck happens when we leave the car alone at someplace like the local Wal-Mart or movie theater?

I should rig up some sort of trap so that if you hit my car with your door, your car won't start until I come override the system. That'll teach 'em.

Oh well, maybe I should just stop caring about how fast or wide I open my doors, and unleash my own kind of personal vengeance.

Have a door-ding-free day!
