In the lower mainland of Vancouver, Canada all the parking stalls for public usage have decreased in size drastically! Even mini cars have difficulty opening their doors wide enough to comfortably enter/excite the vehicle without tapping or bashing the vehicles next to it. Businesses/estabishments try to pack vehicles into too small of stalls to receive more patrons at the consumers cost to their precious vehicles. Local gov. dictate the size regulation for parking stalls. Should they be responsible for damage to your vehicle, since patrons have no say in stall size? Why should the public put up with others damaging their vehicles, due to too small of stall space?

Please read this question carefully, to clarify,... there are no other stalls to choose from as ALL STALLS are TOO SMALL & you must drive to most businesses & stores to patronize, therefore you must park where disignated!

good question!
I totally agree!
the spaces are way too small - there's almost no way to not hit the car beside you!
Good thing for me, I don't care if my car gets scratches or dings (even though it IS new) - it's just not important to me.... but most people do.
you raise a really good point!

You are responsible for the damages. You don't have a say in stall size, but you do have the option of not parking there.
And I'd enjoy watching you"enter/exite the vehicle".

what does this question tell you about people not being able to accept responsibility for their choices.
You parked in a stall that you knew was too small for your car, it got dinged, and you want to sue someone??!!!
YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!
Park in a spot that can accomodate your car. Even if it means you have to walk a little further.
Why complain about a walk when that's EXACTLY what you're gonna do when you go inside the store!!!
As for someone dinging your car, most of that could be stopped if people were a little more cautious when they open their doors.

what to do? buy a gocart, or parachute in, tape cardboard to the side of your car when you park, or park way way way out where nobody else parks.
