Don’t really have a dog in this fight, but I do feel that for most people with the backup camera with the little guidelines on it, backing into a spot is just about as easy as pulling straight in.

Of course then you lose the benefit of the camera when leaving the spot, so for me it’s a wash.

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.
It seems like you have given this some thought. When should you pull straight in? When are the best times to back in?

I am regularly in these situations when I think backing in is best, assuming I can do so safely without disrupting other cars and people.  Pull through is not an option for any of them.

Kid activity pickup when there are about to be a bunch of oblivious kids walking around as I’m trying to leave

Taking my dog somewhere I prefer to open the back hatch to let her out on the outside edge of the lot rather than in the middle

People that respond to the first email in a chain and asks questions that have already been answered in the replies make my blood boil.

I'm kind of a dork for flags and really like the "Dont Tread on me Flag" but don't want to own it /display it now because it has been co-opted by MAGA heads.

Same.

I've always loved it but it has been co-opted as a symbol of racism and white nationalism. Whenever I see one now, I assume that the owner has a tattoo to tooth ratio of approx 1.

Anyone else running into people who say "COVE-UH" instead of COVID? Maybe just a rural KS thing.
Just talked to yet another person who had their second "Cove-uh" jab and cannot breathe thru a mask. At least they were willing to get jabbed.

One of my siblings always sends me voice notes when you would normally send text messages. If you don't want to type, just use the dictate feature on the iPhone. I don't like listening to voicemail or voicenotes.

My wife has been asking me a lot of questions lately that I can't possibly know the answers to. I used to shrug it off, but it is making me madder as I get older.

I get asked questions all the time that I don't have the answers for.  This distressed me in my 20s. Now, I'm trying to accept the fact that the questions proliferate faster than my ability to acquire answers.

Its not that I just don't know the answer, its the ones that don't really have answers that I could possibly know that get me. Why did that person do that? Do you think they will do it again? How the hell am I supposed to know? :dunno:

I know all the answers, I wish she would ask something I don't know the answer to.
