How much do people hate their jobs when they back into a space?

This place has a weird obsession with backing into parking spaces and the people who do so

I back in at my house, at my job, when I go eat out, pretty much all the time. Makes it way easier to dee when you are leaving.

Majority of companies with safety departments or within sectors with relationships to O&G, Petrochemical, or large capacity venues have been doing this as a safety requirement for years.

Easy to see the logic - people are usually rushing or in a hurry to leave a place, so it makes it easier to see/navigate when you leave.

I still do it today unless I'm unloading luggage at the airport.

What if I get in a fight and have to leave in a hurry? What if Marilyn from the warehouse decides to shoot the place up bc him/her meds aren’t hitting right?

Too many variables homey.

If you get in my way when I am pulling out of my parking space, no matter where it is, the truck nutz on my F-twofiddy will be bouncing off your forehead as I roll coal on you baw

I think the military does this as well.

I typically don't mind people backing into a park space. I will do it myself on occasion. However, what really chaps my hide is when people back into a space inside of a narrow, busy parking deck.

Yep.

Hell, when my kids were learning to drive, they were able to back in to a parking spot way better than pulling straight in.

Lafayette is the worst with backing into spaces. With a majority of the drivers terrible at it.

Backing into a parking spot is the most efficient way to park. I don’t understand the hate for people who back into a parking spot, especially at parking lots for LSU football games and etc.

I really wish I had enough mental energy to get annoyed by the minutia in life.

Anyone who uses the word minutiae probably struggles to get excited about anything.

Yes, it's very strange. I have a sports car and a lifted truck - back in almost exclusively with both. Parking spots are tight nowadays. Backing in always gets you the good angle. It just makes sense. If it's not for you, great.

When I worked for Terracon, we were required to park company trucks in, tailgate first.

We even had an hour long meeting/practice session to make sure we understood.

In my truck, back in everywhere. In my wife's car, pull in forward. It's just a matter of how long your wheel base and turning radius is. Trucks aren't designed to turn in a tight spot, and we can't all afford one of those trucks that turn both front and back wheels at the same time like a monster truck.

Agreed. Anyone who has driven a pickup regularly knows that backing in is significantly easier. I find women park front-end first almost exclusively and guys mostly back in.
