When I was about 14, so many years ago now, we all went to a restaurant for dinner. My little brother and I were in the back seat. When getting out of the car I naturally assumed my brother was getting out the other side. I jump out and slam the door right across the side of his head! OOPS! sorry!

Anyway, yeah I feel the same way about the way passengers close my doors. One friend slammed the door so hard I figured glass would break, good thing the window was shut tight, otherwise it would have popped. Since I replaced the door rubbers I tell passengers to close their door "with authority" because it takes longer for the rubber to settle in as that side is used less. That particularly doesn't mean slamming, ie. letting the door go halfway thru the swing. I mean you keep your hand firmly on the door handle and close it all the way while maintaining constant pressure on contact, just common sense. I shouldn't have to write a manual on it for these guys.
