*disclaimer : the entry below encompasses a very intellect demanding riddle/quiz, may cause extreme fatigue of the mind if not being handled properly, pls read at your own discretion.
A situation to study :
You parked your car into a parking lot. Before you leave, you checked if everything was ok - car was perfectly parked within the lot markings and did not jut over to the adjacent lot. Great.
You went ahead with your stuffs… and a couple of hours later, you came back to discover that there’s a maroon colored Honda City (yes, the flowerhorn fish shaped car…) parked out of it’s parking lot boundary and was VERY close (approximately 15 cm away) on the left side of your car.
When you inspected, you discovered a fresh dent mark on your car’s left door bumper - that matches perfectly to the swivelling radius of the Honda City’s driver door. What more, you even saw some maroon colored paint on the markings, which makes you absolutely sure, that the dent mark was induced by the Honda City’s door.
What would you do ? Please pick your best answer and elaborate why.
A) Do nothing about it and leave.
B) Wait till the owner appears and confront him/her.
C) Wait till the owner appears and beat him/her up.
D) Retaliate by scratching the Honda City’s driver door and move on.
And your best guess, which answer would I choose ? And why …
Your answer will be collected and tabulated for the national institute of statistical research aiming to provide better shelter for stray animals. Your contribution of answers will be very much appreciated.

What I chose :
Before I reveal what I chose, let’s review the available options…
A) Do nothing about it and leave.
Obviously, I can’t do that. That’s because I cared for my black car like how Darth Vader cared for his black helmet. Keep it clean, shiny and all that. Seeing a dent on my car (even if it’s just on the door bumper strip), would stir an emotion comparable to a washing machine’s dry spin. So, I definitely must DO SOMETHING about it. Therefore, this option is void.
B) Wait till the owner appears and confront him/her.
I really would like get over this diplomatically … but then, I can’t. You see, the situation occurred under the hot sun and it’s scorching 36 deg C right there. I’m afraid I would have croaked myself of heat stroke before I’m able to utter a single profanity to the owner. The nearest shade was like, 200 meters away - not really a good distance to spot the owner. So, this option is really impossible.
C) Wait till the owner appears and beat him/her up.
Well, if you’re talking about a bicycle owner, no doubt I would have chosen this option… coz usually a person who rides a bicycle would be either a kid, an old dude, or a housewife. Easy target … a punch or two should do the trick. But I’ll never know if the car owner is some beefcake loan shark that owns a gun. I don’t want to be popped a cap at … Besides, I’m educated and not a caveman. Violence doesn’t solve problems, only making it worse. Hence, option C is out of the consideration.
D) Retaliate by scratching the Honda City’s driver door and move on.
This is the only option available to me. Scratching the owner’s door gives me satisfaction and a chance of calling it an even game. No hostility, no ill will. Just a simple scratch on the car’s nice metallic door’s surface. Shouldn’t pose any hazard to any living organism on this planet and can be quickly done (coz I’m in a hurry bringing Emily’s lunch).
So, I took my car key (I’m whistling some jolly tune while doing this), and walked real close to the Honda City and ‘accidentally’ did something. Something that emits the noise KRRRAAAAAKKKK and some maroon stain on the tip of my car key. Something that no amount of polishing nor sandpapering would help to restore the former glory of the car’s door. Gone were it’s glossy days … and blame it on my car key.
But then, I felt a little bit regret of doing that. I should have given the car a dent instead … Serves the fucker right for driving like a mule.
