Slamming doors
Anybody else have a problem with people who are riding with you slamming your truck's doors? Man that ticks me off. Especially if I've gotten on them before about it. 
They're not Chevy doors. Nice and easy and they'll shut perfect. It happened twice today, but I figured I probably wasn't the only one who that happens to.

yeah, I hate that.
chicks mainly.
my truck is 30 years old and the doors close better than a new dodge. seems girls are always slamming them so hard I feel the cab shake.I usually yell at them," this is 30 years old, respect it, it will still be going strong when that hunk of crap VW you think is so great has been recycled.Ford knows how to make doors that work properly, watch " then I get out, and just barely push my door and it closes perfectly, all the way.
people are stupid
I used to want diplomatic immunity
but I couldn't afford that much ammo

All my doors……you can close with one finger including my Model A
I despise anyone who slams the door, I have adopted a policy, I tell him or her
when they are two feet from the vehicle, do not slam the door, close it easy
I make the payments and that is how I want my equipment treated.
The reason I say something about the payment, it makes them stop and think.
It seems just asking not to do it is not enough, they need to relate it to money, the one common thing everyone understands, and most will respect that.

Just a big "WHAM" followed by various components rattling.
Drives me bonkers - I close my door like Bruce Lee's "1 inch punch" - about 3" before the door is fully closed, I give it a firm shove. I don't start back, door fully open, and fling it shut - just a quick, firm closing.

I hate it when people slam my doors. Yes, sometimes you need to use a little force to close them properly, but you don't need to shake the whole truck doing it. I had a friend who just would not remember not to slam them so hard, and he is a big guy! He said it was because he always had to slam the doors in his 2 door cavalier 
He slammed the door so hard that I thought he was going to break the window or something.

This is a big pet peeve for me.
If it doesn`t click-click shut its a dodge or a chevy.
Most everyone I know, by now, knows how I feel on this matter.
Second to that is screwing with my AM radio.
Bill in Miami.....click-click.
