"pulling though" when you plan on using your trunk demonstrates you are an idiot. You get what you deserve.

If you come upon a spot where someone is parked through the line (like the silver/white car in OP), find another spot. Is it that important to have the absolute closest spot in the lot, you lazy bastard?

As always, use your best judgment and don't be a scumbag.

It's just more efficient. People can't back out of parking spaces. Obama had to mandate back up cameras on new cars because people don't know how to back out of parking spaces and we're injuring pedestrians.

I had the job I mentioned above and they required backing in. If you look around cops, ambulances and firetrucks are always backed in.

"Can't back out of parking spaces" Have you seen these folks try to back INTO a parking space? The car is crooked and hanging out after the third try.

Bring on the self parking (and driving) cars, please!

Taking up 2 spots is bad, but the SUV is parked in half the travel lane. That's way worse.

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?

So, just to be clear here - you pull forward into the rear portion of their parking space to get as close to their bumper as you can, so they can’t get to the rear of their own vehicle - because you don’t like people who pull-through or back in.

Is that an accurate portrait of your behavior here?

Um, I read the PP's post and I understood it immediately. Yes. Yes she does that. All clear?

Pull in, back in, pull through, whatever. Park between the lines, people! If somebody parked poorly (red car) and there are tons of empty spaces around, DON'T park even worser (yes, I said it) like the red SUV. Silver SUV failed at the pull through in a way that many folks do.

I'm enlisting the annoying kids of America to look around after your parents park and berate them if they are doing it wrong.

Backing in is harder and requires more competency than pulling in, ergo Maryland drivers are more skilled.

Critical thought not your thing, eh?

And I despise sitting in the lane waiting for an eternity while you back out into traffic a foot at a time because you can’t see through the sides of the cars on either side of you, so you inch out really slowly, not really knowing if anyone is coming or not. So it took you 2 seconds to pull into the space, but a minute and half to back out of it.

Bravo!!!!

Backing in is more efficient. I once worked at a place where everyone was required to back in if they had to get everyone out in an emergency it would be efficient. First responders are also taught to back in for the same reason.

Backing in is for incompetent Maryland drivers.

Because I'm important. Yes, I also drive like that.
