Sticking it to THE MAN, assuming THE MAN is an innocent casual dining restaurant.
There's this lady that does it every morning at my work and I hate her so much. This annoys me more than it should probably but whatever gently caress people who do this.

I work construction engineering and Ive been a job sites where its required people only back in

Was fine

My personal approach is to back in if its clear, if theres cars behind then eh gently caress it Ill just pull in. General preference is to back in and have easier time getting out cuz peds can be all over and visibility with c pillar changes to cars and stuff make backing up visibility poo poo

Other drivers on the road: Guy backing into a parking stall? Oh poo poo better give him room to get in there! Guy backing out of a parking stall? Oh gently caress that price of poo poo I'm speeding up and he'd better see me!

You are either going to wait on them to back in or wait on them to back out. What difference does it make?

People get real anxious when you're stuck behind waiting for them to park, they usually gently caress it up and the wave you on which always makes me lol.

If you work in government services, gas/oil or powergen yeah its pretty much a requirement that you back in. A lot of municipalities near chemical or nuclear plants will also have a general ordinance that vehicles should be backed in as well.

any time you save when leaving is negated by the fact that it took three times longer to pull in to the spot, even if you are skilled at it.

My neighbour was amazed when I backed into my spot first try in my underground.


It's not that loving hard, with the pillar it would take me longer to pull in forwards.

Always back in.

My company is trying to get all of us who drive company vehicles to back in 100% of the time, anywhere. Total corporate bullshit because some beam counter saw a statistic that backing had slightly fewer incidents. The manager of my local office sent out an email this week saying that he's been trying it out and its sooooo much safer because he has grandkids that he might run over if he parked head first :barf:

I back into every spot, even my driveway.

If it takes you more than 2 tries to back in though you should probably just drive in.

It's always easier due to the fact cars are front wheel steer. Only reason to go in front is if you're doing a big shop and need to get to the boot easier.

i was about to say the opposite

the parking spots i think of you back in you get easier access to the trunk/hatch/etc without putting yourself in the parking lot

doesnt matter to me though.

It's mandatory where I work. Which is supremely loving stupid.


And then I realized that you can handle insurance and repair appointments while on the clock if you're backing into your coworker's car coming into work instead of hitting them and having to manage that poo poo while leaving.

Now I like it.

I back in because my camera is facing forward, it will catch any car that crashes into it while parked.
I'll let any cars queued behind past first though.

See and here Ive been actually aspiring to be one of those people. Its been a lifelong shame that I never developed the skills to back my car into a parking space without the aid of several spotters waving signal flags. Thanks for helping me to realize those grapes were actually sour this whole time, OP.
