Yes all the time. I just ask the wife to find empty back to back spots and pull thru.
Several years ago at work we were having a rash of backing accidents. Bosses looked at making us put out cones or backing in or both. They settled on backing in or "nose out" parking, everybody bitched and moaned. We immediately went from 20+ backing accidents a year to 3 the next year, these 3 had failed to follow the new policy.
It works

I always made fun of backwards parkers. Ever since I got a large truck, it's clearly the way to go. It prevents 14 point turns when backing out to exit in tight spots. The axle with turning wheels is at the front when leaving the parking spot.
And here we find our bad drivers.

I typically find pull through parking spots. It downright pisses me off when people don't pull through too. I know it's not really something to get mad about, but it's just one of those things.

Yes... The fastest way to exit a parking space other wise known as combat parking in the Army.

My mother is 62 and she backs into parking spots.

The racial breakdown of people who back into parking spots is about equal to the breakdown of people who want the statues removed.

Yes, still do.
Used to drive a truck in another life and backing into loading docks was a driving way of life.

Next time why don't you buy something you can drive?
Bozo.

Let your wife drive then.
Oh, and you're both an idiot and a terrible person.

If the parking lot isn't congested with traffic, yes, I prefer to, especially in a car next to a truck/suv. But I'm not going to hold a line of cars up to do so.

Those lines are painted the wrong direction for the flow of traffic

I'm assuming they are made that way specifically for backing in. Much less danger and congestion than people backing out of a spot on the side of the street.
Wherever this is, I think it's a great setup.

Remember it's all about the angle of entry.....

Literally every single time I park. It's just habit anymore. I don't even think about wanting to, it just sort of happens
