It was a good laugh, anyway. 
I know what you mean. We had a hail storm (little larger than a pea) and my car had dings all over the top of my car (hood, roof, trunk). It happened to my 1998 Pontiac Grandam, so I didn't care too much. LOL
Dent repair company can help get rid of those. They usually charge by the number of dents, so the less the better.

I have 2 on my roof and one on my hood, wish the metal wasnt so easily dentable
no clue how i got mine but when i first noticed i was pretty mad too.
My old 03 mustang had a huge dent and chip on the roof where someone took a 9 iron to it before i bought it, just cleaned the chipped area and touch up painted, never ended up fixing the dent.
if i had 15 or 20 dents, and was in an area or had a job where i would likely get more, i would do like someone suggested and drive a beater car or truck to work most likely , then get a new hood(probably cowl). Hopefully the roof isnt too hard to repair, let us know if you ever find out how much it will be

I had several door dents on my wife's car. Got a paintless dent removal guy out to my house. I was absolutely amazed, the man was a magician, trained by Mercedes. Took about an hour to remove 4 dents from three different doors, one was really deep. Check for references/recommendations - skill is everything. I found this guy through the dealership, their body shop uses him.
Good Luck

Pshhh. I'll one up you. My car went through a baseball sized hail producing thunderstorm with its original owner. All glass was replaced and the entire car completely repainted. New Trunk, new hood, only thing that wasn't damaged was the spoiler. Weird. Your dents will come out easily.

Back in 1988 we had a hail storm and while my 1977 F-150 was not dented, the hood and roof and trunk of our still near new 1985 T-Bird did receive some few just barely discernible small dents that most certainly would have cost me if I traded so I reported it to insurance co, was not a wreck, adjuster came and looked and wrote me a $1200 check for repair or lost value (same) .... I pocketed check and kept car until 2009. By then, while car looked great, dents still there, but we had nearly forgot about them.
