said by MyHellaCar:See this is the kind of thing you get from inconsiderate people. It's superbly crass to argue that you should be allowed to take advantage of someone else's property and by extension, their wallet.
If one is asked to do/not to do something, if you respect them, you respect their property. Whether you agree or not, you do it their way.
I could tell you chapter and verse what slamming a car door damages on the auto, but you Are entitled to your opinion. Just keep it away from my car.
People are not inconsiderate. All doors take much difference forces to shut so they have no idea until the door is shut. Try shutting a ford super duty door.
If you use the force to shut a ford super duty door on a compact car, a jerk would yell at you for slamming the door.
It is inconsiderate to yell at people who have done nothing wrong.
Yes you might have shut the door hard enough to cause a loud noise, but yelling about it is pointless as slamming will not cause any damage since the door is designed to not break from high forces and stresses. A car door slammer would never hit those forces.
It is silly to just assume everyone has precise muscle memory to shut the door exactly how you would like it done. Maybe they are used to much heavier truck doors.
People will shut the door without any thought thus doors are designed to withstand forces that it would encounter from slamming or the even higher forces it would endure on a bumpy road or hitting a pot hole.
The best solution is just not worry about things like door slamming that do not cause any damage.
