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.
“You’re living the past, man!”
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 😎
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
based and back-in pilled 💪🚘
How big is the parking lot? I suppose you don’t have customer parking, otherwise this would be an enforcement nightmare.
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.
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.

The person who backs in is a person who always knows where the exit is
With all due respect ominous wall entity, that is not universally true.
Too bad OP feels that way. Eventually you have to leave. You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.

Assuming parking spot is perpendicular to the roadway, backing in is just the correct way for a vehicle with front wheel steering. The centre of rotation is in line with the rear axle. The front needs to move through a bigger arc to line up with the spot, than the back does.
Sure you can make it work by driving in forwards, but then you need to swing way wide out first, to get the turning done (or even, god forbid, reverse back out for a second bite at the apple).
As someone who always backs in (unless it’s a diagonal or pull-through spot) and a math person, I’m ashamed to say I never thought of the geometry of it, so thanks for the additional reason to add to my arsenal.
I can add it to “ready to leave quickly in an emergency,” “practicing delayed gratification,” “backup camera guidelines make centering easier,” “constant trunk access,” and the biggest real reason, “I have a bad habit of leaving for obligations at the last possible minute and need to plan ahead.”
Exactly. If you are in a parking and going in front first into a parking space on your right side, you are driving dangerously against traffic.
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.”
Yeah, that’s exactly why I do it. Now you get it.

Backing in allows me to be present by freeing up the part of my brain which creates anxiety for backing out.
Expired tags.
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.
