Do you have to back into every parking space?

What? You don’t back out of the space in one maneuver either. It takes a couple of maneuvers either when you back in or when you leave if you didn’t back in - no difference.

Of course you do! Where did you learn to drive? Or didn't you?

The difference is that when people see me backing out of the space, they know I'm backing out of a space. When you pull way past a space, people assume you are going to continue in a forward motion NOT suddenly put it in reverse and start backing into a space -especially when there are cars behind you in the lot.

That would be me. I back in 100% of the time.

OP, you aren’t supposed to park bumper-to-bumper. You leave space between your car and the car behind you. There should be room for you to get back there and load the trunk.

Extra three seconds!?!? Most people i wait for to bsck into their space take three attempts.

Don’t assume. That’s on you.

Wait until the car in front of you finishes their parking maneuver: Driving 101.

When driving cars on company business we are required to back in.

HAHAHAHAHAHA... are you a salesperson?

No, engineer.

Except that you can not control whomever parks behind you, after you park.

Engineer with a company car? What company is this?

Also, DH is LEO and was taught to ALWAYS back in under any circumstance and he has passed that along to me.

EXCept jerks like you don’t pull through far enough and leave your back end into the space behind you, effectively taking up two spaces

That’s true. In that case—which I don’t think has ever happened to me—I would use the passenger door to load. No biggie.

Never said I had a company car. I said "when driving a car on company business." Learn to read.

Another engineer here but I don’t follow the logic behind your posts. Aka WTF are you talking about. Pp engineer’s question was a perfectly logical question.

See, the snarky responses like this tell me that this PP, and people like her, go about their day in a spiteful manner. It makes them feel like they have purpose or "control' or "voice" in their otherwise very pitiful, meek and ordinary lives.

OP, they are not only bad drivers, but would you want to be them? No thanks.

When you point a finger at me, the rest of your fingers point back at you.

I back in for a legit reason: the turning radius on my minivan is weird and it's far easier to back in (more directly: I can't park it head first without multiple maneuvers, but I can quickly back it in without adjustments).

The fact that the op is so aggravated by waiting a few extra seconds speaks volumes. As does your hostility, pp. Your lack of self-awareness is both befuddling and amusing.

To sum up: nobody backs in to purposely aggravate you. The fact that you assign malicious intent might be something to explore with a therapist.
