A door ding is a two step process.

Step 1: Someone simply parks beside you (absolutely nothing wrong with this)

Step 2: Someone opens their door and it strikes your vehicle. (I very much like my car, so I don't much care for step 2)

Most of the time, the parking procedure ends after step 1. But for step 2 to occur, step 1 must have first occurred and thus, if my vehicle has been struck, that is situation where I am mad at someone for simply parking beside me. I very much like my car so if the parking lot is sufficiently empty, I take precautions to avoid step 1, which in turn allows me to avoid step 2.

For simply avoiding step 1 (when possible), which in turn allows me to avoid step 2, I am apparently entitled and pompous.
