Cracked-out wall kitten ain’t so wise if it hasn’t considered that I never wanted to be there in the first place, so why the hell would I want to be truly present, huh?!

With all due respect ominous wall entity, that is not universally true.
The person who backs in is a person who always knows where the exit is
You back into a parking spot so it’s easier to leave. I back into a parking spot because I’m paranoid of people tracking my plates. We are not the same.
Why wouldn’t they just track the front plate?
They probably live in a state that only requires the rear plate.
I only back into my parking space at home. I’ll gladly spend the extra time when I’m awake in the evening if it means that I don’t have to think about backing out in the morning.
I back into my spot when I get home as a gift to Future Me. She’s always in a hurry.
Also, as a short person driving a raised/lowered minivan (floor is lowered so the whole is raised until it kneels as the ramp comes down) with a rear camera, it’s easier to back in exactly all the way than to see down over the hood.
This is the way.
You are likely more aware of your surroundings at the end of your journey rather than the beginning. That extra 30 seconds to back in could save you from an accident of someone in your blindspot not checking for lights
Backing out of a parking space, you must yield to traffic within the lane of traffic However, you are on the wrong end of the vehicle to properly observe traffic within the lane. With restricted vision and attention focused on the maneuver, you are also burdened with deconflicting traffic that has the right-of-way over you.
Backing in, you begin the maneuver from a lane in which you are already established. You have the right-of-way over that lane until you have completely departed that lane. While you are distracted and focused on the backing maneuver, conflicting traffic is legally obligated to avoid you.
“Backing in” exploits “right-of-way” to improve safety for both you and your fellow travelers.
Usually I just find somewhere that I can pull through so I don’t have to reverse in either scenario ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Pull-through spots are the best
I used to work with a guy who was the worst driver I’d encountered up to that time, and he would circle parking lots until giving up and leaving if he couldn’t find a pull through spot. I would have complained, but he really was that bad of a driver and I didn’t want to be in the vehicle when he backed into someone!
I only park in crab-sidle spots
Me backing into a parking spot in Alan Wake (a horror game): “You’re goddamn right I did. I want to get out of here as soon as possible.”
This is why I set my car on fire whenever Ieave it.
Ahhh, the Omaha Protocol. Nice choice.
Maybe the job should pay better then. Just saying.
My job has a reverse in only policy as it was determined to be safer to back in and drive out than drive in and back out
How big is the parking lot? I suppose you don’t have customer parking, otherwise this would be an enforcement nightmare.
We don’t have public parking at any of our sites, but it applies to all staff at all of our facilities and if we go somewhere, eg if we had a meeting somewhere.
This policy is coming in a lot of industries. The idea is that if you need to evacuate or get someone to the hospital, it is faster and less prone to causing an accident.
based and back-in pilled 💪🚘
People who do not back into parking spots cannot be truly present. You have not prepared for the future, so you cannot remain in the present without anxiety.
Joke’s on you, I have the opposite problem where I don’t have enough anxiety which leads to me never properly preparing for anything because “I’ll deal with it when I get to it”. So I’m always present and in the moment without preparing for the future 😎
“You’re living the past, man!”
Too bad OP feels that way. Eventually you have to leave. You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.
