why must they slam the door

alright people, this has been my thing for along time. i always tell p***engers do not slam the doors getting in or out of my cars. for some reason it goes in one ear and out the other. it seems like every old car that i've had. people always seem to slam the door. i freaking hate it when they do that. if and when i buy cars that have sagging doors or need adjustments i fix them right away. so my doors close fine there's no reason for it. then they go on to tell me it's an old car/truck it won't hurt it. that is not the point.

what's the one thing people do that piss you off?

 

yeah, ********!!!

that's how my p***enger door gl*** was broken, some door slamming ***hole at my workplace!


***holes!


sorry,
tred.

 

I feel your pain.

I learned at an early age not to slam doors.

I dislike, intently, when someone shuts one of the doors on any of my vehicles too harshly.

When I was a young person, about 10 or 11, my folks , my brother, and I went to an uncle's place for a Sunday pic-nic.
Uncle Ted had a relatively new Nash Amb***idor car, one of the old bathtub style cars. It was necessary to go down town to a store for articles needed for the picnic, so my uncle drove with dad, my brother, and I in the car for the ride.

When we arrived at the store, I emerged from the back seat and shut the door. Uncle Ted thought it was shut to hard and proceeded to bereat me and demonstrate several times how easily the Nash doors shut.

If, after all these years, I shut any door very hard,I flinch, fully expecting uncle Ted to jump me again. I, also, flinch when any one shuts any door on my cars like that.

That was over 50 years ago.

Yep, my neighbor taught me a lesson about closing doors when I was a kid. He had a cool '58 Impala and he showed me how easily the doors closed, he held the door halfway open and just let it go, it clicked in to place effortlessly. Ever since then I've been a gentle door closer, or at least try closing it nice and using a little force if it don't close the first time.

Door slammers piss me off too, although I haven't had it happen to me in a while.

 

Breath. When they're breathing that means they still have enough life to slam the door.

It sure doesn't help it to slam it.

 

Finger prints on the paint near the doorhandle, drives me nuts. My car is black, and I have owned several black cars, and it never fails, someone finds it necessary to shut the door with their greasy mits all over the paint. It is not that hard to use the outside handle to close it.

 

car night, or show, you come back to your ride and some guy you don't know is leaning on your car.

thats a fight right there !

 

Why must parents bring their kids to the shows with soccer cleats on , then encourage them to climb up on my running boards to look in the window?

 

I just got a new one this weekend...

I had my car parked out on woodward for the dream cruise. and just about every one that walked by had to touch the unsanded bondo on the roof. or some other area of texture on the car... They think o its just a peice of **** primer car its ok to touch it and knock on the bondo??? Pisses me off to no end. its like that at just about every car show with it to. I mean yea its o to sit and lean on my car if i know ya. but its just disrespect

 

car people don't seem to know how much body work and paint cost. yeah, it may still be a work in progress. you might have about $500 alone in material and labor on just one door. that's the one they happen to lean on.

another thing. it might be cool to have some hot girl all over your car for photos, but the moment they want to sit on the hood or trunk. i would tell them just like i would anybody else. GET YOUR *** OFF MY CAR!

 

I hate door slammers, I think justice would be for them to have there fingers in the door when they slam it.

 

man this is really the one thing that bothers me..

especially when the offenders are fellow car guys.

Yeah, no ****! I got that one all the time...along with the one ***hole who came up and kicked my door to see if any rust would fall off! (I would have kicked his ****pile gold truck, but it's such a bondo wagon I didn't want to breathe all the dust that would fly when the filler exploded!).

(This same ***hole also thought it would be okay to just open my door and climb inside the car because I happened to go to school with him...funny thing was, he couldn't get the door open! That whole 'push the ****on and pull on the handle' thing was light years beyond his grasp! He just sat there tugging on the handle like a bewildered chimp! I told him the car had a built in "***hole Detector" as a measure of security and everyone around laughed...he just sulked off!)

I hate the doorslammers too...along with the ones who freely eat, drink and smoke in my cars without asking. Then there's the ones who got to play with everything...like one of those "busy boxes" you strap to an infant's crib...they just gotta pull, flip, twist and fondle everything in or on the car to see what it does!

 

go about 85-90 mph down a freeway
while in conversation with the ***hole who slammed the door,reach over to the p***engers door and open it.
if they start to reach and say hey what are you doing tell them they slammed the door too hard and it didnt shut properly!
then proceed to push them out of the moving vehicle...LOL
i hate that **** too.

 

they slam the doors because you have to on todays newer cars to get the doors to shut because they are so air tight. My new chevy truck requires a good hard swing to shut it. when most p***engers get out, and shut the door it does not close all the way and I get the message light the door is ajarred.

Since most folks drive newer cars, it is just a natural thing to happen.

 

Low Springs and Happy Hoppy both hit the nail on the head. Call me odd but I hate littering like none other. Especially when people are just a little on the lazy side and would rather toss their trash on the ground instead of walking 30ft. to a trashcan.

 

that's the point here.

why the **** are people's narrow little minds incapable of distinguishing our older cars from a new car. why are their brains 'trained' to react the same to any/every car door. why can't people think and realize what's happening before they do something?


damn i'm in a bad mood today...

 

i hate door slammers

i dont liek shutting other peoples doors cuz im afraid ill shut them too hard

i also hate when peaople shut your door by puching on your gl*** or paint and smudge that **** all up

the other night my water pump ****ped out in my wagon and i opened the hood and after i had it open my friend didnt think it was open far enough and he grabbed it and i instinctively socked him in the arm because i could get the words out fast enough

My wife is an incurable door slammer....but I love her...People don't usually touch my rides unless they've had a recent Tet**** shot!

 

My wife nearly had a stroke with this one (I was a little pissed too).

We had built a 76 CJ-5 for my wife a few years ago, 3" lift, 33 x 12.5 tires, beautiful turqupoise metallic paint with tan interior. She takes it over to the corner store one Sunday morning with the roof down. Comes out and there's some ******* standing there with his 5 year old kid sitting in the driver's seat "driving". Most unbelievable thing I've ever heard.

No wonder some kids have no respect for other peoples property....... what the F*** was the Dad teaching his kid!!! Blood pressure's going up just typing this and it was 10 years ago!

Kid scratched the paint when the dad let him climb in also.

Not the 5 year olds fault.............. but the Dad was a good poster child for retroactive abortion!!!!!!!

 

The same people who don't listen to "Don't slam the door" are usually the same ones who don't listen to "The side pipes are hot."
That lesson they remember till the burn on the back of their calf heals,and then every time they look at the brand scar!

Sometimes "we" don't express ourselves strongly enough about an issue though.
Cute little signs that say "Look but please don't touch" dont do anything but litter up otherwise good photo ops.
The people who think they get to touch, think these rules don't apply to them.

First you need to get eye contact because these partial-autistic people don't listen unless you have their attention.
Then you have to say exactly what you want to have happen and state the results if it doesn't.
Like; "Get your mother****ing cigarette away from my wood truck bed or I'll throw what's left of your worthless dead body in the fire if you torch it."
The if they get all that way about it,,
"Why are you still here?"
or
"Did your parents have any children that lived?"
or
"Didn't your Mother teach you any manners? I'd blame your Father but you obviously don't know who he is!"


Or the Orcabetty who wants her picture taken leaning or sitting on every hood?
Just tell them "Now go back and clean off all the damp spots from all the cars you sat your nasty *** on", loud!

Don't get me started on door lock and tire valve cap dice stealing kids...

 

A close friend and I took his black '34 Vicky to the local cruise night. We walked around looking at the other cars and when we got back to his car some local non-car dude was helping his 4 year old slide down the front fender. Dumb **** couldn't understand why my buddy wanted to kick his ***, kid around or not. I managed to stop him, probably should have let him kill the dumb ****.

 

Ah yes, the 'door slammers'.
Must admit, i have issue's with that too.
A few of my freinds who stopped by from time to time when i was building my 53 wanted to go for a quick ride around the block in it once it was on the road..
Both of these guy's ARE car guy's, and even though they were i still asked them to NOT slam the door because there's no rubber in them and they close VERY easily.
The first kid get's in, and ****ing slams the door so hard i thought the gl*** was going to break!
I looked at him and asked "what did i just ask you NOT to do?"
He said "slam the door"...
"then why the hell did you try and latch the ****ing p***enger door on MY side!" i asked..

He just looked at me like i was nuts.

Then the other one did the same exact thing!

Sometime's when it's a person who has no experience with old car's i can deal with it better than those who SHOULD be in the 'know'....

I attribute it all to lack of common sence..i have no other explination..

Or how about when you just get done painting something and someone come's over.. They can smell the fresh paint in the air, but have to go over to see if it's wet!
One time that happened to me.....even though it wasn't "wet" it still left a mark..
Again, NO common sence..

 

People that have a tendency to plant their foot on the bumper, hate that. The door slamming thing? I have been driving mostly 72 and older Ford pickups forever. Everyone of them the doors latch good with the lightest of touch. I have my kids trained and most other people who ride with me but those guys who drive the 70s-80s chevys are the worst door slammers. They are just used to getting maximum velocity for a door to (hopefully) latch. I always remind door slammers they aren't riding in a Chevy pickup.

 

I saw a cl***ic car show on TV where the guy doing all the ********ting grabbed the side of the hinging four piece hood on some irreplacable exotica and just threw it back to show 'us' the motor. I winced, feeling the owners pain as the hood slammed and jounced back onto his twenty coats of hand flatted laquer. How can any **** narrate a car program but have zero knowledge or feelings for a car?

 

All the gl*** in my caddy was perfect until one day a friend of a friend wanted to ride up front for the first time. He slammed the damn door so hard the gl*** cracked. And yeah I did tell him not to slam it. The door closes by itself for god's sake.
As for non-car people slamming doors, that's why I have to wait there for girls to get in and close it for them. They seem to be the worst about it. They think old car doors have to be slammed because they're old.

 

the little trick to not having to slam them chevy truck doors is to crack the window down and inch or so and they close like the finest handcrafted automobile ever made

 

I HATE:...

...drivers who ride your rear bumper for 8 blocks then zip around you, cut you off, and then slow down to make a turn from your lane.

...being in the fast lane, ready to overtake a semi when when the bozo behind the truck changes lanes, cutting you off, then has his cruise set for 1 mile an hour faster than the truck.

...anybody who buys a big SUV and then can't seem to parallel park the damn thing when I need to get down the street. If you can't drive the bus, don't buy the bus!!!

...kids on crotch rockets, wearing shorts and flip flops, that feel the need to ride 8 inches from my bumper.

...****-*** music played with window shattering b***. Gotta put cut-outs on my ride to drown them out with a 5,000 RPM open header symphony!!!

...22" wheels on a clapped out '81 Caprice.

..."No Fear" stickers - and that ******* Calvin kid really chaps my hide too.

...Fiats.

...those damned spinner wheels. It looks unnatural 'cuz the whell rotation donesn't match the car's speed. Dat ain't right.

...Bling.

...road construction delays.

...my divorce attorney.

...car salesman who ask, "What's it gonna take to get you to drive this home today?" and fail to see the humor when I reply, "Your ankle strapped to the rear bumper."

...video screens in minivans with tinted windows. C'mon!! I wanna watch Popeye cartoons too.

...cars with 48 stuffed animals in the rear window.

... bumper stickers.

...license plate frames that say "My other car is...". And the ones that say "I'd rather be sailing" - if was driving a crane you'd get your wish. Mine frame should say "My other car is a piece of **** too."

...Red and blue lights in the rear view.

...when the semi in front of me shreds a recap at 80 MPH. The pucker factor is real high on those.

...boneheads reading, shaving, applying make-up, doing needle point or anything like that while driving.

...drunk drivers.

...jokers who drive around the railroad crossing gates. Man, I don't really want to see you get creamed OR be stuck behind your dumb twisted *** when I really need to get somewhere and the train has to stop cuz it hit you.

...stripped head bolts.

...rust in my eye.

and yes, I hate door slammin'!!!

 

Cl***ic stand-up moments!!
