Do you get a kick out of watching people try to back into parking spots?

First off I understand the benefits of backing into a spot. That said it seems like the majority of people are really bad at it which makes for fine entertainment. I see people on a daily basis back in and pull out four or five times before they are successful. Often times this is in a fairly empty lot where they could have just pulled through. Why would you back into a spot when you could just pull through?

No.

But I do get a kick out of backing in and pulling out of a spot at least four or five times before I park, especially in empty lots.

God I wish my life was so simple that parking amused me.

So more often times it's not in an empty lot, hence the whole empty verus full lot.

I don't really recall ever paying much attention to someone else parking. However, I also always look for an empty lane to pull down and park where it's not jam packed. I don't mind a short walk.

I get a kick out of watching myself back up my trailers and laugh even harder thinking about wtf someone would be thinking if they saw me backing up trailers.

No, but there's a much greater chance of some little kid running out into your blind spot.

Pull through or back in upon arrival and use your mirrors and camera.

It’s the same as watching people struggle to back out

These people are morons and cause huge backups when lots are busy. They make me rage pretty much every time I'm trying to take my kids to practice. In summation they are tards and do not amuse me

I back in at the ball park because when I’m leaving dozens of kids are walking around.

Technically it’s easier to back in.

When I’m watching people frick up it’s amusing. Then if they are still unsuccessfully trying for a while it’s maddening. Then if the continue to fail it’s amazing.

I recently got a new truck, went from a tundra to a 3500. I still can't park it on the first try. I might be retarded.

You’re completely missing the point. I can park in spaces backing in that I can’t get into going forward. It’s the fact that it’s the two wheels on the front end that turn. You need those to the outside of the space to make the angle.

In a big vehicle with a long wheel base it’s the only way to get in tight spots.

Were you the dude honking at my wife in the parking lot of the strip mall on Bluebonnet and Airline today that sped off like a bitch when I approached your car?

If so, see you at Sonic.

No but watching a novice trying to put a boat on a trailer can be a very entertaining watch.
