I love this!! All of my hillbilly neighbors back their big useless trucks into their driveways or illegally into the cul-de-sac.

It’s obvious to me that they only do it to be noticed as they certainly don’t need to make a quick getaway in Sellersville, PA located in Bucks County which is one of the safest areas in the suburbs of Philadelphia. They do it because they are HILLBILLIES! Did I mention that they all drive pick up trucks that have covers over the beds and/or short beds that NEVER carry any cargo?

People that back int parking spaces are just plain trailer trash!

One thing that no one has addressed is the fact that those who insist on backing in are requiring the rest of us to be mind readers. While you have pulled up as if you were pulling into a space across the isle I am suppose to know that you are not pulling into that space but actually backing into the other one. It would be one thing if there were an indictor to let us know but I for one was not born a mind reader. When a car is backing out of a space everyone knows this is your intention.

I just came back to this story and I have to laugh again about all the people singing the praises of backing in – specifically the ones mentioning that you see traffic better when you pull forward out of a spot. FYI – in most cars the drivers head is closer to the back bumper than the front. In other words you can actually see the traffic sooner backing out of a spot than pulling forward. No matter what car you drive though the drivers head is near the center of the car so there is really a negligible difference.

The only argument I have ever seen for backing in is the fact that if you need a jump start the battery is more accessible. This is true, but I have only needed a grand total of 1 jump starts in the past 10 years so it is not a very compelling reason.

Listen here you single minded nit-wit.
Maybe if you read this article and not be so single minded, and pull your head outta your arse, you’d have a better understanding as to why it’s better to back in.

I back into parking spaces because I can’t see over the other cars, SUVs and trucks until the lane is blocked when I have to back out. When I pull out forward, I can see much sooner.

Invariably, there’s always some entitlement-minded skinny snot-nosed douchebag in a tricked out rice grinder with toy wheels that constitutes an investment of his entire net worth for the next ten years who’s speeding down the lane when you back out.

If you pulled in forward, you’ll back into his path coming out because you can’t see past the Ford Excursion parked next to you until your car is blocking the lane. Of course, the douchebag will whine that it’s your fault because you were backing when the collision occurred.

When you’re backing into a space you can see everything behind you and be sure the snotty little douchebag behind you isn’t moving before you back in.

But I don’t expect the snotty little douchebags to comprehend these things. They’ll continue to whine about being late for their job at McDonald’s because they had to wait a few seconds for me to back into my space.

People, people, people.

Do you all need jobs, hobbies or just a good night’s sleep? Maybe a good lay.

It’s a large nation folks!!! And yeah, big enough for those who back up and those who pull in. Duschebagss? Assholes? Hicks? Bastards? Turds? Losers? Bank Robbers?

Kiss the initial bloggers ass? No thanks! I’d rather stamp her or his forehead with “MORON”.

You people are all beating a dead horse. It’s not a matter of wear and tear of the vehicle or how fast you do it. It takes the same amount of time to park nose in or back in (you have to back up at some point). If the opportunity presents itself, without holding up traffic, choose to back in. When its time to leave, you can do so safer and more efficently. The vast majority of people out driving suck at it so I can see why there would be great resistance. I have 3 immaculate vehicles and backing in is not my opportunity to show them off. I go to car meets and shows for that. Backing in is my opportunity to protect my vehicle, and manuver it into the spot exactly where I want it. The original poster to this topic is a quack, who probably drives a rusty hunk of shit or some made in japan (or korea) plastic wind up toy and is pissed at the world

It’s amazing how wound up the nose parkers are. It’s not only easier to leave but more importantly safer to drive head out into traffic. I’ve seen a few back out accidents where the backing up driver could see an oncoming car, while the car coming through was paying attention.

Either way, the time you save parking head first is lost when you need to be extra cautious when backing out. And don’t forget the extra time and money wasted when you accidentally back into oncoming traffic.

I don’t back into spots but am sure going to start doing so now. I had to get a jump start for my battery yesterday, and the fellow who helped me first had to push me (in neutral gear, natch) out of my spot. Fortunately, there was plenty of room in the parking lot. In a crowded lot this sure wouldn’t have worked very well at all.

I love this. You nailed it man; theatrics. I would be willing to bet most of these turds exit from their charriots donning Bluetooth headsets as well. I can kinda see the ‘large truck’ angle, but then again, a significant portion of ‘large truck’ drivers only bought the damn truck to make their balls feel bigger; they don’t actually need a truck at all.

And the best part, most of the defendants on here are making comments about skill level. If not directly saying it, the whole long-winded technical/mechanical reasonings for backing in serve as another platform for these douchebags to showcase their authority. Fuck you losers. If you want to stand out, learn some jokes or get a promotion or something. Backing-in to a parking spot is certifiably gay.
