[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who take forever backing into a parking space because they think they’re saving time on the other end, but they’re spending so much more time than if they just drove in and backed out like normal.

People who let their kids be loud when they’re not supposed to be loud. I get that your kid may not intuitively know when to be quiet, but if they’re loud somewhere like a theater; you need to instruct them to be quiet or whisper. It’s your literal job to teach them to be part of society. So many parents don’t do this and it destroys the experience for so many. [/quote]

I used to find back-in parkers extremely annoying, but now I live in an apartment where I literally cannot get into my parking space most of the time unless I back in (usually because other people park where they are not supposed to be, making it impossible for me to angle in correctly going in the front way.

As a result, I've been back-in parking for a while now and have gotten good and efficient at it (back up cameras make it super easy, too), and now I get annoyed when people lazily front-in park in such away that they aren't in the middle of the space, because it's much easier to position your car correctly in the space if you back in, and it really does not take that much time -- a few extra seconds to pull forward before you back up.[/quote]

I do think you’re the exception though, most people take much longer and they aren’t all that centered in the space. I believe that you’re good at it, but I don’t believe it’s more efficient for everyone.[/quote]

I mean, watching anyone park poorly is painful (or funny, depending on whether I'm watching them out a window with no skin in the game, or they are in my way and I have to wait for them to complete a 72 point turn in order to pass). I don't see that many terrible back in parkers I guess? Usually people who do it know how to do it.

The one I see all the time is the bad parallel parking, which is especially frustrating living in a city where almost all street parking is parallel. There is a technique. Learn it, or don't drive.[/quote]
