You can't say things like this on this board. KSU Cats are world leaders in cereal science and wouldn't touch the stuff if it was bad for people.

Anyone else running into people who say "COVE-UH" instead of COVID? Maybe just a rural KS thing.

people backing into parking spots
We agree.

im sure this is in reference to supercab dualies in suburban outlet mall parking lots, but do you know there are practical advantages?

Backing into parking spots is the number 1 thing you can do to lower your chance of being in an accident.

The company I worked at required it, due to the safe driving school recommendations we had contracted.  Yes, it sucked.

Sometimes I pull through and I worry that people will think I backed in.

I think a pull thru can be great. Gives much better viz when you leave. A few months ago, I was parking my car (the normal way) at Academy Sports. This guy with a massive, jacked up pickup was backing into the stall in front of me. He kept getting closer and closer. I honked because I didn't think he saw me. He got out of his truck and said "backup cameras work, bud" and went inside to buy some Under Armour camo gear. I was so ready to punch him in the face.

I have not had such an experience.
I’ve heard many Kansas referring to “The co-VID”
Just ran into another person who had "COVE-UH" back in December. Their spouse spent 8 days in the hospital with it... I think saying "Co-VID" must feel like making some sort of sinister agreement with Dr Fauci about the virus or something....

Yes, this is it.  It's their way of saying it's not real without saying it's not real.  It's important to not be tread on.

Looks like there are a bunch of horrible drivers in this thread that are afraid to back into a parking spot.  Not an every time thing, but there are plenty of situ’s where that is the best option.
