Definitely not worth the confrontation, especially without any proof. It's one thing if you saw her do it, but at this point, there's very little you can do to prove to her that she dinged your car. Like others have mentioned, it may end up backfiring on you if she takes it personally. Obviously, if she's the type of person who can ding up someone else's car and not tell them about it, I'm sure she's not going to come clean should you confront her. Most likely, she'll ger very defensive and offended by your "attack".

Suck it up, pay the $50 to have it fixed, and if you have to continue to park next to her because of assigned parking, put up one of those ridiculous looking ding protectors.

It'll be a great way to let her know that you don't appreciate her dinging up your door without you having to say it. (Yes, I have a passive aggressive personality)

"Find paintless dent repair, pay $50-60, get on with life...next time park somewhere safer, if possible..."

Above is the best advice.

Somethings are just not worth the fight. If this is the biggest injustice you suffer in life, you are indeed a lucky fellow.

If she did it and one of you already moved your car then she can claim it didn't happen with her truck. Like everybody said, suck it up and pay $50 to get it fix.

If it costs that little to repair, then just do it.

If it were me I would make a comment in a professional and respectful manner to hopefully avoid it happening again, but then our laws in NZ are very different.

Why is everyone assuming that the boss is **** worthy? She could be a 200 lbs behemoth for all we know.

If my "boss" dinged my Z I'd say dude, you dinged my Z. Pay!
PS I can't be fired. But you shouldn't be able to be fired for this either.

You're already too late. You cant claim a ding after the fact. You either bring it up when it happens or suck it up. You'll look pretty stupid bringing it up now. So if you were worried about looking like a jackass before, try bringing up how there's a ding in your car days later and they'll think you're crazy.

The obvious question that comes to mind is why your car is not wearing a car cover while at work? Nissan makes an excellent one made of Weathershield that only costs about $275.Though it will not eliminate damage from the hard hits,it will protect from the little annoying ones.This skirmish with the boss is one you can't win.It might be an omen telling you to start looking for a new job,one with better parking for sure!

Eye for an eye.

Show up to work in a rental car and just start opening your door on whomever is next to you!




Seriously, get the dent fixed and use preventive measures to help avoid more dings (different parking, ding protector...).
