how much do you HATE when ppl slam your doors!!

god, i get so f'ing irritated. I come from a town where ppl have no idea how to treat cars . I HATE IT. MY friends slam my doors like there trying to un-hinge them. Dont people realize that car doors actually close very easily and dont need to be slammed. Everytime they slam it i feel like my door is going to fall off, and i always tell them DONT SLAM IT.

Sorry guys just need to vent

I hate when people slam the doors hard. I wonder the same thing, why, they shut so easily.

I noticed that the doors on this car want to close all by themselves. There is very little effort needed to close them. I get my doors slammed all the time by friends, family....basically anyone riding in the car! It used to make me mad but I guess I have just gotten used to it.

They're must be used to 'merican cars. The doors don't fit. They won't close unless they're slammed.

People get one warning if they slam the doors in my car. After that they can walk.

I hate it too. My stock answer is: "Easy there, Conan."
I like to think it gets the point across without showing how annoyed I really am.

People slam my doors all the time. I always have to remind them after they do it the first time and get kind of pissed if they do it again, so nobody slams the doors anymore. I don't really blame them the first time though since my friends were probably used to my CL where the doors took a little more effort to close.

Ya, happens to me too. Its especially annoying because the TSX doors sound like tin cans when they are slammed. Only when they are closed gentle do you get that satisfying thud.

Tell me about it. I *HATE* when people slam my doors. I don't usually show too much outward emotion about it but it grates on my nerves like fingernails on a chalkboard! You know, keeping all those feelings pent up can't be good, can it?

I despise door slamming and especially when part of the seatbelt (metal part) gets wedged between the door and the frame when they slam the door

i'm just annoyed at the sound of the TSX passenger door, when i was driving one of my buds he got out and closed the door, sounded like an aluminum can being crushed, kind of a cheap sound.

but there is a diff sound when ur alone closing driver door, sound solid.

I know what you mean. I have a 91 legend coupe and they have motors in the doors that pull the door in for easy closing! Damn people just have hard of hearing sometimes.....

annoyed by this as well. I had a TSX loaner and loved how easily the doors closed. especially in comp. to my CLS.

CLS doors are a bit heavy. People SLAM them.....drives me up the wall. I usually tell people you don't need to shut it so hard.

Went golfing with 3 friends last weekend.

"bang"
"baNG"
"BANG"
"DONG" (trunk)

4 fucking times I hardly put up a perfunctory smile.

Either people start taking slam-preventative class, or I need anger management lessons

I don't mind if ppl slam my TSX's doors, as long as they don't fall of its okay with me. If they break it they ride the bus!

If they break it, they pay for the damages first, then they can ride the bus.
