re: The Cultural Phenomenon of Backing Into Parking Spaces.

Here’s another one of these dumb posts. Last person called it “combat parking”
Know what I hate? When I’m trying to drive around in a parking lot and I have to wait forever for someone to back OUT of their spot.

Total car salesman move.

I normally just park in the back of a lot, away from other cars, and walk.
People still park like idiots, no matter how they pull into a spot.

It's literally the safest method and with backup cameras it makes it incredibly easy.

I never back in unless the spot is against something my truck could climb over.
The rear of the vehicle faces outward in case I need to ram a vehicle to leave.

Every major gas/oil company, refinery, support services company, etc.. requires it due to safety data. Maybe your, and the tards in this thread, experiences in Albertsons parking lot outweigh that but I know who I would trust.

Your company may require you to back in at the gravel lot at the boat dock. That technique doesn't work everywhere.

Literally everything about backing in and exiting forward is more convenient and safer.
These threads blow my mind. I thought this was common knowledge.

It’s easier for me to back out into a double lane than to back into a small parking spot

Have noticed a cultural phenomenon of people pulling up right next to you in a mostly empty parking lot.
Why you want to park between two cars or next to another car if you don't have to.
It's the same as pissing at a urinal and somebody getting right up next to you when there's other options available.
It's an unspoken courtesy among some people not to get right up on a motherfricker, whether pissing, or out in a parking lot.
Most people understand this concept, but some don't.

There are some towns around DFW that have angled street parking spots that by law you have to back into.
Those are actually pretty nice.
What I can't stand is people backing into one-way angled parking spots that weren't designed for it. They just end up pointing in the wrong direction when they try to leave their spot.

I know you’re passionate about this topic but you’re also wrong. It’s easier to back into a spot and then drive out when leaving, in a truck.
Posted on 9/9/26 at 11:36 pm to Judnnc
I never do. I understand the logic of it, but I just never do. I have no further explanation.

Its a look at me thing. Just fricking pull in and park. Jackass.
No
My work requires it and I’d do it regardless

quote:Telco worker here. Backing is mandatory--unless there are other, safer options. Doing that multiple times daily while working 60+ hrs/wk will make you back your wife's minivan into her spot at church, before getting out and heading to the back to set out 4 cones.
Some industrial plants require it

Hate frickers who back their truck right up to the sidewalk that has the walk way into stores and restaurants gotta play damn frogger just to pick up my damn lunch.
Posted on 9/10/26 at 12:57 am to Judnnc
I’m a big truck driver so it’s a habit. I have noticed more people doing it though.

Not on my cars.
