I try not to park beside anyone if can, or close to a wall/rail/bollard whatever so at least one side of my car is protected. My bikes dont go into carparks at all unless I know there is a barricade I can park behind.
Sadly fat people with small children are a prime cause of door scratches and dents simply due to the logistics of a small space and having to lean into cars to do seatbelts and stuff.
I usually wait in the car when my wife is in the supermarket, as I suffer from shopping rage and just get too wound up being surrounded by ignorant dickheads and wind up having to say something rude.
So I spend a bit of time watching carpark antics.
Twice my car was damaged while I have been in it, once from a woman loading kids and stuff into an old wreck that was already so full of shit that she had to pack the groceries in around her kids in the back seat, as she was doing this her wide load arse was grinding the door into the side of my car enough to make it rock on its springs.
She gave me an earful when I politely pointed out the damage she was causing, but after a stern dressing down and a lecture about taking better care of her car, kids, and body she left in tears. My insurance sent her a bill I imagine.
second was a young mother walking and texting with a full as trolly, who pushed her trolly off the kerb between my car and the one next to it, but the camber caught the trolly (as can sometimes happen) and it rolled into my car, she looked at me, and while still holding her phone in one hand proceeded to push the trolly with the other, scraping the side of my car the whole way, it was clear she was planning to ignore me the whole time, i was a bit nicer to her than the other one but she still got told......
Then theres the one where I saw a driver get his passenger to move a bike so they could take his park, need less to say the combination of heavy bike, steering lock, and disk lock left the bike on its side in the car park, they drove off, plenty of witnesses, noone said anything I was too far away to stop it but got the rego of the driver for the biker.
Is like people turn their brains off when they have to go to the supermarket or mall, is insane
I mean, who takes a 25 foot boat on a trailer into the supermarket car park on a thursday night ffs, it happens all the time here.
Yes I know my enemies
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me....
