Suggestion
A car cover would protect from door dings, although they're a pain to use because you have to keep both the car and cover clean.
Leading evidence: 'Use because you have' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use because you have' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

During the day I park at the office in a designated bay within a tenant parking area
Next to me is an "open" bay.
This car parks routinely here. It belongs to a receptionist working in one of the offices.
The car is in bad shape all around with dents and missing body parts.
Clearly she doesn't value her vehicle.
The roadworthy inspections in SAfrica are very poor and only need to be done when a vehicle is sold so this car can stay like this and no ticket would be issued.
You think I should be more cautious?
I really can't go up to her and say she must park elsewhere.
Am I being over sensitive??

I would be concerned as well if I was in that position. If you can't park anywhere else than all you can really do is to position you car as far away from hers as you can within the confines of your parking space.
Hey, it's a Mercedes....just kidding. At least she is not backing into the space and, unless she is driving others, she can't ding your door. The car is a beater but maybe all she can afford - who knows, she may be a good and courteous driver. Not much you can do about it.
Ask for a re-assignment. If not, talk with the girl and see how her driving skill are. Maybe someone in her family doesn't care and she got it after...
I would worry. And I would approach her as well..... friendly like.....Hey I see you park next to my "baby" every day. I'm glad you're there to protect it from some stranger who wouldn't care if they dinged my car with their door or pulling in. Thanks. I sure would be upset if someone damaged it. Glad you have me covered/protected. Have a nice day.
How's that? Worth a shot.:cheers:
Fire up a GoPro and video her egress in the a.m. If she appears to be thoughtful.......yur set. If she flings doors open and is generally careless.....then maybe you take an action.
I was going to say the same thing, her car in that spot may never be a problem, really tough to react to what you perceive. This is not to say I don't understand your concern...
Tron... give the girl a break!
Do you know how she looks? Do you know how she cooks?
It's time to be neighborly. If I were you I'd go in a Speedo (you live by the beach, don't you?) and knock on her door. Give her a taste of your Boerwors. Just make sure your wife doesn't find out, otherwise your wife may take your 911 and you end up moving in your neighbor's apartment driving the beater :hilarious:
if she gives enough space to avoid dings on the car it should be ok.
although generally the shape of someone's car does tend to indicate their usual perception of cars where I live.
(the condition of the driver's side door edge is a good indication)
and taking a page out of some of the other comments - If she's hot you can even take her out for lunch?
People normally respond in kind - just dont be the ***hole who drives a Porsche.
if it doesnt seem to work or prefer to be non-confrontational you can go for this....

Hahah.
Hasaan. I think the fast is getting to you now...
If I try that my wife will definitely "de-wors" me! (Wors is short for boerewors).
For those that don't know what wors is and how Hasaan is being naughty here with his analogy . [emoji12]

I think she knows how much your car costs and would be careful in not opening her door onto it. Why not swap bays with her, that way she won't open her door in your cars direction.
Maybe it's her big move to try to get you to take her out in it!
if I were you, I would put an orange construction barrel in front of the space with some shovels, sledge hammer, hard hat, etc and make it look like a construction site.
Or these! She'll get message one way or the other!

Buy a beater. Put it in that spot up on blocks (take wheels away). Lock the doors. Put a crappy car cover on it. Put up a sign: "Reserved For Management"

I would say you are okay for 2 reasons:
1) You know who drives it and she knows you.
2) You are parking on her passenger side, meaning she isn't even going to open doors that side.
Door dings are usually accidental. Sometimes people are just clumsy or not paying attention. I hate parking decls...people usually always get dents and scratches after a long period of use. I admit I did open my door onto a caddy many years ago because parking was so tight at college and I was even trying to be careful...was in a rush to get to class and had plenty of caffeine to make me fidgety.
A couple of non-passive aggressive thoughts -
If you back in - you can cut all the way over to the side of the space and provide lots of room on the driver side doo . .
I'm going to presume that you also park in a space with supports to the side so you only have to worry about one side - if not - then find one where you can.
