Update: Quoted original post
I went to my car and when I got out, I found one of the chunky monkeys with their car door resting on our Civic's door, again.
Me: ...do you need me to park further over or something?
Her: ...urr...no!?
Me: <points at door> Well, that's not the first time I've seen you with your door against my car and there are multiple marks down that door, and on our other car as well.
Her: Oh right, I just put it there gently <looks at my car door closely>
Me: Well, you shouldn't, any contact will leave a mark...
As I suspected, nothing malicious, just totally and absolutely clueless to anyone else except themselves. Christ knows how many other peoples cars, of which the majority are nicer than ours, have been damaged by her and her sister.
I really admire your restraint in this. Especially as she's doing it regularly and you have a series of ripples. I'd have been close to losing my temper. I went to my car and when I got out, I found one of the chunky monkeys with their car door resting on our Civic's door, again.

Our neighbours have two fat daughters (size 20+) and both of them have difficulty getting out of their cars, without banging their doors into our cars.
They've got a 2012 Kia Piccanto and a 2010 Fiat 500 and individually they both cost more than our cars combined, but it doesn't stop them, on 3 occasions now resting/banging their drivers door into the side/s of our car/s. Twice one daughter has done it, once the other. We always park well over from them, as they do technically have a smaller space, so everyone else (even before they moved in a year or so ago) does jig along in their slots to accommodate. But this doesn't help...I then decided to cut all of our ivy down from the fence, but this week caught the daughter with the Fiat resting her door onto the side of our Jazz. I reversed back and she made eye contact with me, as she confidently closed the door, locked it and walked on without a care in the world.
I feel anything said to the parents would fall on deaf ears, as to how inconsiderate they have been altogether since moving in. They are not nasty people, just seemingly totally oblivious to the world around them.

My neighbour did this to my Civic, I've had it less than six months, from Honda, it was completely blemish free until she swung her door and caught the rear passenger door of mine with a nice accompanying bang. Now there's a ding.
I watched her do it as I was leaving my house. No apology, I get the 'what?!' look as I make eye contact. I didn't say anything. I just winced as I walked toward my car.
Her car, a fiesta zetec S on a '59, not a straight panel on it, bald front tyres and never washed. Potentially a lovely car, she just doesn't care.
I understand that everyone feels differently about cars, I get it.
I love my cars, and they're always looked after. People being disrespectful and not caring when they apply their priorities to your property makes me angry.
Also the reason my Mrs gives me ear ache every time we go somewhere. I park as far away as possible from anyone and if possible along side a partition at least that way only 1 side has got chance to get banged.
My neighbour never answers the door. Parcels are sometimes left with us and when we knock later to hand them over, 8 time sout of 10 no answer. A few weeks ago I was playing footie with my nephew in front of our house when I saw the guy park up at his house and go in (he would have seen us too). A few minutes later my nephew knocked the ball over into his garden, we went to the door to ask politley if he could retrieve it - again no answer. t

we have a shared drive, ok its my drive but next door has access across the first 50/60 yds,
the brambles were growing down the side of the drive so I trimmed them back,
the following year there was a bumper crop of berrys,
I planned to pick them that weekend, but next doors visitors just finished picking the lot, had they walked another 100 yds the lane had lots but they wanted these.......
I told them to wash them well as I often stopped on the way home from the pub to water the bushes,
dont know if they ate them.

Well this just took a turn for the weird.....
Turns out my new neighbours are my EXISTING NEIGHBOURS from the right side. They've just moved 2 doors down to now be on my left side.
Happened to my parents, it was a home for the mentally handicapped and they went to a bigger house. Must have been confusing for the residents being so close to their old house. Surprisingly they did fewer odd things than the neighbours in this thread.Turns out my new neighbours are my EXISTING NEIGHBOURS from the right side.
