I had to do it when I had a company truck. Now that my company truck is gone, I still do it....even at home.
It's just easier and safer all around.

How is it safer? Just because the company safety man or plant said so?

Yes in some cases it might be a little easier but i can pull in with a few moves.

When people pull up to back in, I steal their spot.

I drive an Accord and I back in 90% of the time.
It's easier to park and to pull out. Most scratches and fender benders happen when you park.

I don't know. I back into my driveway, but usually don't back into parking spots.

No, not at all.
Just accept that you're wrong on this one and move on.

No i could never figure it out. You back up baws think its safer, how idk.

As everyone else has said:
easier to put it in
easier to pull out
employer requirement
often recommended
At ball parks and church festivals where there are small kids meandering around after dark it is the only answer.

Cheers to you getting upset over something like this.

More importantly, why drive around with your windows down when it is 95+ outside instead of using the car AC? I am talking a new car that obviously has AC.

That's not accurate. It's mostly white dudes in trucks and dudes with work vehicles.

Just in case you're too stupid to figure this out on your own, I'll explain it for you.
When you pull forward into a spot, and you have a full size vehicle, chances are you're gonna have to back up to straighten out again. You're risking a collision when you're straightening out. Not only that but when you're leaving the parking space, it is 100x easier to pull straight out than it is to reverse out.
You're next retort will be....blah blah blah, you're risking a collision by backing into spot. Well just before you reverse in, you can clearly see any potential obstacles that would impede a reverse in park.
Then again you're prob just trolling.

Exactly. When backing into a spot, you don't have two vehicles blocking your view like you would if you pulled into a spot. When you leave a spot that you backed into, you can see oncoming traffic much quicker and you won't have more than half of your vehicle in the lane.

Shame when you have to spoonfeed common sense to people

I drive around with no doors AND the A/C blasting.

If your in a situation where you have to back you should always back first. There are a few reasons for this. One is that you're more familiar with your surroundings when you first approach and secondly, if an emergency arises, it is much easier to pull out of a parking spot than it is to back out. I really do not understand why some people have a problem with this.
