Oh my gosh Ed, I wasn't going after you! And my argument is somewhat tongue in cheek, this is a Yelp talk thread after all. I don't have a lot, or a space, or any such luxury. I have to park on the street. Even if there were a lot available near my home, living in the city is expensive enough without adding another $250 to my monthly bills to protect my car from inconsiderate jerks. Yes, parking on the street my bumper gets all chewed to hell, and it's annoying, but certainly not the end of the world.

I was merely agreeing with the other folks on the thread who were requesting that people not use my bumper as a way to tell how close to my car they are. I hate to bring rain clouds into your sunny day, but there are people who "try" to hit other cars' bumpers, as stated above, by people who are not me. Jeez louise. I even admitted to being guilty of inadvertently kissing a bumper or a million myself.

I'm amazed that me sharing my annoyance at people damaging my property would bother you, someone who isn't even included in the the group of people I'm venting about. . .what the?

Please understand that I'm annoyed since I JUST had my car fixed and my bumper was pristine, and then was damaged not two days later, by some inconsiderate person who clearly doesn't know the dimensions of their car well enough to parallel park.
