It appears the individuals that routinely do this are often on the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder.

No, but they are being inconsiderate to the possibility that others don't have time to sit idly by while they take nearly a minute to back into a space. Sometimes you leave on time but unforeseen problems arise pertaining to traffic, accidents, construction, road closures, etc., and you therefore have no time to spare.


Your husband needs to teach you how to butch up.

You are literally bitching about someone being selfish based on your own selfish reasoning. It's not the world's problem that you're going to be 5 minutes late. This is a great fricking thread.

I've worked at Fortune 100 headquarters in Dallas and none of us parked that way.

Not from what I see. Depends on where you live and what you do for a living, I guess.

See how that works. You're being selfish about your needs and expecting others to go against what they want to do for your sake.

You come across as a little bitch.

What about people that really really suck at backing into a space? Do you think they should just pull in and leave backing in to the experts?

You can back in, or you can back out. If the coast is clear when you get there many times backing in is the best option. Why does it bother you so much?

Its just common courtesy not to impede the flow of traffic especially in a parking garage.

This behavior is akin to not turning right on red when itis safe and holding up everyone.

Or even worse, being this self entitled a-hole.

regaedless of what we drive our company directs us to back in to parking spots. This is for safety purposes since, when leaving the parking spot, everything is in front of you.... More accidents happen when backing from a spot rather than going forward.

What a whiney little bitch. I bet you really get pissed when an old man or woman is in front of you when buying groceries. What are you like when you get inconvenienced by that inconsiderate a hole that just died's funeral procession?
Poor, poor you.
