What percentage of Cybertruck drivers are back-parkers? I’d say it’s pretty highs.
what if it is your own driveway?

it's totally a rational hatred, because it's much trickier and thus time consumimg to back into a narrow space between two other cars than it is to back out of a space into the wider area that is the parking lot lane. it makes no sense; it's just people everywhere wasting everyone else's time, and it compounds and compounds.

Like 85% of the city I live in does the back in parking -- no matter when or where -- and I'm on the edge of absolutely losing it

Guys, no lie, I just saw someone taking the time and effort to back into a parking spot at Target, and there were at least 5 empty spots on either side, in both neighboring aisles. Why not just pull through! Amoeba brained twat.

I get it if you plan on taking your sweet ass time shopping, you arrived when it was quiet and you know it will be a madhouse when it comes time to leave. But maybe I'm giving these people too much credit.

I’m glad the consensus here is generally anti-back parking.

Backing into parking spots IS fucking stupid.

I remember someone pissing me off doing just that yesterday.

I wonder what personality trait makes you do this.

Or even worse why do the dumb people that do this say they do this.

I'll tell you why I'm mad about it...

My stats.

I had 13 unsolved puzzles. I was also on a 75 game streak. I thought the streak was days played not days in a row and/or "games won." So, I thought, 2 birds with 1 stone... I won't really try very hard and if I use all my allotted mistakes, great! Then I'll have 14 unsolved puzzles, which is a better number than 13. AND I'll continue my days played streak!

Fucking NOPE! Streak over. Fuck all that noise. I was so goddamn pissed about it...

I'm over it now.
