Yup, this. I’m have good spatial awareness and it doesn’t add much time for me to back in. Regardless, I don’t mind wait a few minutes for someone to back in if it reduces injuries.
It doesn’t take a few minutes to back in.
It’s like an extra 5 seconds to park and saves time when you’re pulling out.
People who can’t wait 5 seconds for me to park can kiss my a$$.

It’s not even up for debate. It’s settled science.
Don’t be a back-in-is-safer denier. It makes you look as foolish as climate change deniers.
I knew backing in is safer, and that’s why I do it.
But I had no idea it was so irritating to so many DCUM’rs…that’s an added bonus for me. Safer, AND irritating to lots of insufferable people who post here.
I’ll never park any other way now.
People like you are sad and small.
And, yes, I do back in in many cases. But you are just a jerk.

The key words there seem to be “whenever possible.” I submit that it’s extremely rude to do so when others are waiting to get by.

If you have to back out when there's a mad rush to leave you're screwed. Only amateurs pull into spots in the parking lots during a sporting event.
Backing in doesn't take long if you know how to actually drive. The problem is so many stupid suburban drivers don't know how to drive. On top of that they have asininely sized vehicles like SUVs.
