    Within a week there had been a complaint filed against her for “vandalizing” someone’s door… by taping an apology note on there.

    I’ve seen tape rip paint off when it’s removed. The door has to be removed, sanded back (the entire door, not just where the tape was… because door paint fades and you can’t match the color). A door needs three coats of hard wearing slow drying paint - has to dry overnight between coats… making it a four day job.

    Worst of all, the door has to be horizontal while the paint dries - so that’s four days with no front door. Not an option. They will usually just replace the door and that can cost thousands (but at least it won’t leave you without a front door for days).

    If you want to leave a note for someone - use the letterbox.

    Good times.

    Yeah see that shit just isn’t worth it. I had a neighbour threaten to pour milk into a work colleague’s car door once. Car doors are full of noise insulation material that would have soaked up the milk and gone mouldy/started to stink. Costs a fortune to fix that.

    Best thing to do in my opinion is call the police, anonymously. If it’s not worth a formal complaint then it’s not worth complaining at all.

      Car doors are hollow mate.

      How do you expect all the mechanisms for door locking/unlocking/opening and windows to fit in there?

      Might be some rubber sound deading mat stuck to one side on a really high in car, but theres nothing absorptive inside the door.

        There generally is foam in a car door. If only because it is cheap structural support with the side effect of temperature and sound insulation. You can see this any time someone cuts a car door in half (which is shockingly common on youtube because junkyards sell shit for cheap).

        That said, there is usually a layer of metal between that and the drainage space because… it is a drainage space.

        What they are probably confused by is that there IS a motor in there (to move the window) and rotten milk could potentially adhere to gears and what nots. But that also is why you have the rubber gaskety bit on the sides of the windows. To minimize the amount of liquid that gets in there.

        So if your car is fucked to the point that someone can pour milk down your window? Then just hose it off. And then fix the weather stripping.


        I am sure there are cars that don’t have any barrier between insulation/electronics and the drainage space (my money is on said cars being sold by a manufacturer that starts with a T…). But the vast majority do because… of obvious reasons.

          I don’t know where you’re from, but the vast majority of cars in the US have hollow doors. The only exceptions might be expensive luxury cars. There is no foam in them. If you poured milk in them it would most likely drain out of small holes in the bottom, although it might splash & stick to some of the internal components and make a smell.
