Parking Spots: Am I The Only One That Doesn't Care To Look For Ones Close To My Location?

I do a better job parking by backing into a spot. I agree that it's much easier and faster when you're leaving.

I tend to park far away only because I don't mind the walk. It's usually the overweight people that tends to park real close.
 
So that 1/3 of a car length matters? Its a parking lot, cars arent doing 60 through the aisles. If you back up properly, you wont hit anything and no one will hit you.
come on... I was with you up until then. If you're going to argue your side at least be intellectually honest.

you don't think that extra 1/3 counts?... and as for cars not doing 60 mph...sure...but today's drivers are even more distracted than ever... drivingdown 30-35 mph down a parking lot lane and distracted while trying to text or answer a call is not far fetched at all.

if you think that the extra 1/3 of your car sticking out of the spot doesn't make a difference when it comes to then I don't know what to say.

I know it doesnt have an impact on my life. I never claimed it did.
yes, I know...but why does it "disgust you?"...obviously you're vehemently against it or else you would not have used such words. Iwas curious why

no, it's not just that....b/c when you're backing out of a spot... you have probably 2/3rds of your car sticking out by the time you have a full view of the lane...as opposed to pulling our forward...you have maybe 1/3 of the car sticking out.

It takes more time to pull in unconventionally than it does the standard way.
there's no denying that.
but on the flipside...it's easier to pull out of the spot when it comes time to leave.

Unless someone does the "drive through" method, I see no advantage of pulling in backwards and when I see people do it I just shake my head in disgust.

lol...why does it bother you so?.... it has no impact on your life whatsoever

tons of people speed through aisles
 
I take the first spot I see.

I'm not about to waste 10 minutes finding a parking spot that is marginally closer just because my fat %%+ friends don't want to walk.
 
I dont care if people back into their parking spot as long as they aren't doing it in a busy parking lot.

It pisses me off when people decide to reverse park when there are 2-3 cars waiting to pass by.

I bet if you timed it, it'd be faster to park normally and back out then it would be to reverse park and then drive out of the spot. Either way it does notmatter much...backing into a parking spot is just as 'risky' as backing out of one. You still have to look out for pedestrians, you have to be evenmore cautious about not hitting the cars parked next to you, and you have to trust that no one will be speeding in the aisles while you're reversingslowly.

What isnt intellectually honest? Cars arent doing 60 in a lot. Ive never seen a car do 35 in a lot either. In a parking lot setting, 35 is FAST.

How many cares are driving through the lot looking for parking spots, while speeding profusely AND texting? Its one thing to text on the highway, but ivenever come across people texting while trying to park.

I dont think that 1/3 matters. Thats a few feet. If you slowly back out of a spot, like its recommended, the other person will see you.

It disgusts me because the people who do it are either A: WAYY too into their car or B: Think it makes a difference in time.

Im not vehemently against it. Its his/her on parking technique, I just dont any reason to do it so it baffles me.
