don't back into a parking spot, but why the fuck do you care if i do, if it makes you mad, you're the one with the fucking problem, i hate that you have to drive in this country, i love driving, most drivers are fucking shit at it though, including anyone who's like weirdly mad at people for parking carefully, fuck off

Why the fuck does it matter to you?

correct parking is below correct spelling on my list of priorities

I have spent far too much energy in my life trying to figure out why people do this, and I am no closer to an answer.

When I worked in the office, I backed in because pulling out and going straight to the road home was >_< [that much] quicker than backing out and the extra turn 😅

At least it felt like it.

I think it started during a snowy week and I just ran with it.

Because when you’re backing in you have a mirror to guide you on each side to tell you you’re going in evenly and then it’s easy to drive out again because you have full visibility in front of you.

If you just drive into a spot, you can’t see the lines on either side of the car to ensure you’re going in evenly with enough distance on both sides of the car, and then when you’re leaving you have to back out and hope that your visibility is good enough to see behind you as you try to ease out backwards into traffic.

because backing out of a parking spot is dangerous because y'all crazy people drive like idiots and fully will not notice me and will hit me. if i’m facing out, i can see you whipping by, you savages. (at work there are plate glass windows, i can watch reflections of the whole plaza before i move. can’t do that in my mirror. OR my nonexistent backup camera.)

tl;dr it’s a lot safer, and if you’re so unaware of that that you post crazy-eyes selfies demanding to know why, i think you’re probably part of the problem, now aren’t you. maybe go take a remedial driving course. (Your picture was not posted)

Backing into a parking space is safer for everybody than backing out of that same parking space either. You're less likely to back into somebody else that way, including somebody else who isn't in a car.
