And for some reason, every single one of the dozen or so Teslas in my garage back-in. What's that about?

if you drive a truck and you have to park between 2 cars, most spots you can't turn into without having to back up to straighten out.  then backing out of those spots you run into similar situations in tight parking lots.  much easier backing in and then pulling out (that's what she said).

I've never seen anyone back into a spot without straightening out at least twice. I don't believe it's happened.

i do it every day.  foot is on the gas too to show off

I'm constantly amazed at how people will spend 3,4,5 times as long looking for a space closer to the door as they would have spent had they instead taken one of many open spaces just a little farther away.

A company I used to work for mandated that we back into all parking stalls with company vehicles for safety reasons.

construction sites are usually mandatory back ins, for some crazy ass safety reasons.

It's easier to get my truck into a tight parking spot by backing in.   Prior to back up cameras, I never backed in anywhere.

Has everyone seen those sweet back in parking spots they put on busy streets sometimes? I’d like to shake the hand of whoever came up with those. Truly a modern engineering marvel.

This is a huge peeve for me. Like, there’s an entire rough ridin' parking lot full of spaces and you park between 2 cars and I can’t even open the door all the way to get out.  OR when someone parks right next to me when I’m the only car within 5 spaces in any direction.

i love seeing people (huge idiots) pull through angled spaces. nothing more convenient than pulling a 135er to get out of a parking spot.

Unless the people using the parking lot are all smart and treat those angled parking spaces like back in spaces (see above post)!

Ditto for me in bathrooms with tons of urinals.

I used them with regularity for roughly a 3 year period. One thing I observed is that a significant portion of the population sucks ass at back-in angle parking.

You'd think we'd have some better sealing in 2019. Nope. Still that 1975 technology.

I’m not a parent so I don’t know but I guess bitching about your kids is something you just do?

Peeve: People who self proclaim that they are bad parents and then bitch about stuff their kids do.
