I only back in when parking. Even at my house.

Maybe you don't understand how parking a truck works. You cannot crank the wheel all of the way sideways when you're backing out of a spot. You can when you're pulling out. Think of where the axles are in relation to the truck. The rear has more room between it and the trailer hitch than the front and the bumper. You can turn, and the rear will basically pivot out once you get to the back of the car. Think about an open differential to explain that. You've got to wait for your front bumper to fully clear to crank the wheel when backing out. So basically, more of your car has to be out of the spot to turn when you're backing.
I can't pull my truck in straight to a lot of smaller parking lots/spots. I would just hit the cars on the side. It is 100000x easier backing in

Man this is BS unless you drive something ridiculous. I admit my truck is nust a crew F150 but also drive the father in laws F250 a ton and never run into this issue, especially in a lowes parking lot.
You damn Backup Baws just want to show off your trucks.

My wife (no pics) works in the medical field. At her office, she has noticed a trend that some people tend to back into their backing spot, patients and staff. For whatever reason, it's almost 100% AA's who do this.
Used to mean you had warrants and didn't want anyone to check your tag from the road.

I dont want to watch you back up and pull up 5x before you go into your stop.

I had an F250 and now a 2500HD, and Lowe's parking lots are some bad ones. They don't leave enough room in the lanes between the parking spot rows. Plus, the mirrors basically hang over the lines, so that's another problem

The last thing you want to do in a major spill situation at a plant is to jump in your car and start it.

That principle applies when backing out of a parking spot too.
It's not as helpful when backing out of a spot, and you can see more when pulling out of a spot when pulling out forward.

Have never had to pull up when backing in.

I don't get it. If you can back in, you can back out. I always pull through if I can but if not, I know how to drive my pick up.

Try pulling forward into a parallel parking spot and come at me bro. Just come at me forward, so I can stand out of the way since you won't be able to get into the parking spot

I'm amazed by people who come on here and cry daily about things that have absolutely no bearing on their lives. Why can't you just enjoy your life and move on? Who cares if someone parks this way or that way. Enjoy your life man.

I just park towards the end of the row where there aren't many vehicles. Doesn't bother me to walk a little ways. I don't feel like taking the time to back in.

I tend to do this also.

I just mean that some folks are considerate of others and won't make 12 cars wait on them, while others simply don't care.

If you're in a huge truck, I would assume you'd have no problem seeing up the row if anyone is coming since you'd be able to see over most other automobiles parked next to you. Hell, if that's the issue, all cars should back into their spots.

I've been saying that for two pages now. I even drew a diagram
