Why can't you people park properly?

[Anonymous]

Copying this image from reddit. Seriously, what is so freaking challenging about parking in a parking lot? If you park like 3 of these vehicles, you should have your license revoked.

Backing-in (or pulling through to the other space) is the only acceptable way to park.

If you’re pulling into a space, you should be ticketed*



*excluding complying with those ridiculous “front end parking only” spaces that DC has on certain one-way streets.

Lol! Agree with OP! Totally disagree with PP. Pulling into spots is fine.

“You people”?

Lol.

I despise people who back in.

That one is bad but:

- You didn’t see the cars around it when this car pulled in. There could have been a long bed Ford parked in front of it and taking up part of the space.

- ever since they removed the nose medallion off of cars and sloped the hood downwards, you honestly cannot tell how much room you have in front. From the driver’s seat, I feel like I’m right up there, but when it get out I see I’m much further back than I thought. I have learned to pull up until I think I’m about to hit the car in front. I do get back in and pull up if I’m too far back.

Not every car has cameras.

I take 2 spots because asshat karens can't open their white SUV door without slamming it into the side of my car. You learn to drive, I'll stop parking in a way that triggers you.

So
Annoying. My Kim used to do this because she drove a massive van. So embarrassing making everyone to wait.

Pulling through is something I do on occasion, but not often and I am aware of the fact that somebody else could be approaching that space while I am driving through one space to another. In parking lots at big box stores I wouldn't trust someone else coming behind me to stop and give me space to back in. They'd think you passed the spot on purpose. (Meanwhile, someone from the other side is "pulling through"!)

The theory for backing in is that you are going into a space where people are not likely to be and when you drive out you have a bigger field of vision. But people in a parking lot can come from ANYWHERE--walking in from the other side because they just saw where they parked, especially small children moving from one side of their car to the other, and so on.

The large red SUV may have had an issue with a person who parked in the space in front but backed up way over the line. I've had that happen in a busy parking lot. The last space in sight is behind a person who thinks they are supposed to park with their tires on the line and I pull in as far as I can without touching their car. And if I can't see another spot from my position in an SUV, then I'm not circling around another 15 min waiting for someone else to leave and I just park there.

When I pull into a space and there is a car ahead of me that pulled through or backed, I make a point to park as close to their rear bumper as I can.

I love watching them come back with their cart and not be able to open the back to load up. What was the plan? Hope no one would park behind them?

I don't pull this close, but am equally perplexed. How do they expect to get to their trunk if a big SUV pulls up behind them? Iean, I pull thru sometimes too, but usually am not expecting to use my trunk if that's the case.

Yeah, pulling through at Costco is folly.

Actually, the car in front is worse - it’s over the double white lines into the next spot.
