No argument at all - different strokes and all that. It's just that
I've found people that object to a small imperfection don't appreciate
a different and larger imperfection - like a ring of variance in the
sheen around the repair. It's kind of like the first ding on your new
car - drives you nuts until you get some more.

I just got my first ding an hour ago, and I did it myself, at the
grocery store. From the shopping cart. I was parked sideways on a
hill, and this cart didn't have the plastic bumpers on the front
edges.

At least it's the first scratch since the car was repainted 18 months
ago, and right on my door.

Where can I get some more dings?

Is this something I can legitimately call the floor guy back for, or
will he laugh me off the phone?

Can't tell without seeing it. Post some pictures on one of those free
hosting sites then post the link(s) here.

Leave it in a Wal-Mart parking lot for twenty minutes.
