Suddenly, two blonde college Barbies appeared in my rear view mirror; they had just walked out of the restaurant's door and they were walking toward their car. Instead of stopping or walking around my little area, they both walked straight to the bumper of my car and one of them kicked the bumper and muttered something. I stopped and waited for them to walk around my car, and then continued backing out. Luckily, it didn't register with my wife what had just happened until I'd backed all the way out, because that's when she went ballistic.; "Did they kick our car? Did that bitch say something? Stop the car!" and all kinds of stuff like that.
She would have killed them if I'd stopped.

I understand that pedestrians always have the right of way, But if somebody kicked my car..I would have got out and said something..It would have nothing to do with the fact that they may have dented or scratched the car..Just the fact that they kicked it would be enough for me to get out.
If i'm backing out of a space and see people coming and they are close enough that i would be cutting them off if i pulled out..I will let them go. But not all the time you can see and sometimes i will be backing out and see somebody and i think..Well if i'm backing up this person will walk around the front of my car..Nope, They have to walk behind the car.
I am usually kind enough when i am walking back to my car to let somebody back out or pull out of thier spot, I will either walk around thier car..or wave them to go.
