[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people that back into parking spaces are the same people that won’t hold the elevator. [/quote]

Wait, what? 
I do both.
Do you consider the first inconsiderate? I feel like it's the opposite, so educate me![/quote]

I do both, too.  Backing into parking spaces makes leaving them SO much safer for pedestrians (i.e., pulling forward is much safer than backing out), so IMO people can wait the extra 30 seconds for someone backing in.

If it its taking you 30 seconds to back in then you have no right backing in. Same geos for only being able to back in while staring at your back up camera.

+1. Park and GTFO of the way. [/quote] Uh, you realize everyone has to back in parking lots, right? Either you back in the beginning or you back when you leave which is riskier for everyone. How about you slow the eff down and be patient. It's a parking lot, not the indy 500.[/quote]

Backing into the small space that is a parking spot is harder and takes longer than backing OUT of the spot when you have the entire aisle to use.  
People who back into parking spots are so incredibly self centered.[/quote]

When one plus one equals fifteen.

This is a stretch - while I rarely reverse into spots unless there is nothing on either side because I don’t have the best serial judgment  - it is bizarre to claim that anyone who backs into spaces is self centered. Some of them are just competent Parkers. [/quote]

I have always and forever backed into parking spots- since I was 16 and learned to drive. We were taught to do this since it is safer when you are leaving, and I can do it in a heartbeat and never use a camera (learned to drive in 1990). I had NO IDEA some people thought it was rude. WHY?????[/quote]

Yes, it’s extremely obnoxious to take your time backing into a spot while everyone else waits just so you can best position yourself for a fast getaway later. Doubly annoying now that I know you are all smugly thinking that you are putting pedestrian safety first while everyone else is recklessly backing out of their parking spots. If you don’t know how to back out of a parking spot safely, you shouldn’t be driving.[/quote]

To be fair, many of us, as other posters have noted, were taught that this is the proper way to park in our driver's ed courses.

I still do it.  and I'm good at it.  And at best, it may make you wait an extra 15 seconds.

Sorry, not sorry[/quote]
