Default Who else suffers with passengers scrapping their side skirts ?

Drivers side,albeit recently sprayed,but even before, no damage at all, no scrapes from me or previous owner, yet the passenger side, wo,another story,missus catches the side skirts,work colleague offous work boots catch them and scrap the paint off,the side is riddled with touch ups which looks crap !!

is it just my car thats a side skirt scratch magnet,it looks like its been used as a cat scratch post !

(before i touched it up)

You can get the protection films for the side skirts which can stop it. It's like a think layer of plastic, I might get them, and the ones for under the door handles too as they're scratched to buggery too !

I've noticed scratches under the handle too. I commented on it, but she said she didn't know what it was.
