Reticulated pythons are the worlds longest snake and are nowhere to be found in the US. So your good. Anacondas which are the 2nd largest snake are only found in South America. Translation, there are no human eating snakes in America.

you are an asshole sir. as you speed behind the ambulance you are creating a safety risk as other drivers attempt to re-enter the highway from the shoulder where they puled over to allow the ambulance a speedy and safe passage through rush hour traffic and not for the benefit of some ahole thinking driving a car 60 mph in those conditions is a smart or safe thing to do. why not ask the person in ambulance who was probably injured in a motor vehicle collision how a neck or back injury feels? when an collision does happen at that speed, be sure to call the man's wife and family and tell them "im sorry that your husband didnt make it to work today bc i thought i was being cool. i was just hoping that in that sudden emergency situation everyone would have been extra vigilent and alert after teh ambulance passed to keep an eye out for me as i did 60 mph. i hope he gets better. his caravan was pretty messed up. i think it s totalled. by the way, i will be sure to tell the insurance company that i was merely following the flow of traffic when this crazed minivan came screaming off the shoulder. after all, this is my 3rd collision and i cant afford to have my insurance drop me . . . ."

BTW the "back in parking" deserve a special seat at the dumdum table. They realize it invariably takes you longer to back into a spot than to back out don't they? Meanwhile you're backing in is inconvenient to the other in the parking lot.

What are you doing in a parking lot (other than possibly an ER parking lot) that requires haste whilst parking?

Head in parking means you're backing out into traffic, possibly into one of those morons who treats a parking lot like a racetrack. Backing into a spot means that the area has limited potential for accidents, also allowing you to clearly see your exit from the space. Only a complete ****wit parks head in.

Backing in to a spot is for the pros, or those with backup cameras. Otherwise don't do it and waste everyone's time.

I mostly agree with this. Backing in is superior, it takes about 2 seconds longer to park, but makes getting out much safer. The only time I don't back in anymore is in the parking lots with angled slots and grocery shopping since I need access to the trunk.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

How about the pull through? All the speed of head in parking plus the benefits of backing in parking when it is time to leave.

I seriously get a erection when I have a awesome pull through spot lined up. I have to turn the ac on high after i park and point it at my pants so I can get out of the car.

I think that's why car manufacturers came up with ventilated seats for A/C, no?

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

The pull through is a no-brainer. I'll park a little further away if it means being able to pull through.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

I seriously could pull through all day long. Sometimes I go to Wal Mart and just drive around looking for pull through opportunities.

Seriously the best things in life are FREE.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

I get seriously annoyed when I'm the passenger in a car and the drive doesn't pull through (assuming we don't need to access to the truck). It just makes no sense to me.

Mentally im getting prepared. Im not gonna walk back into another snake ambush. This time when we get in the ring, its gonna be a cage match. My neighbor already asked if he could shoot it and i asked "Shoot it in my house?" He of course answer yes.

[quote=JoeRedskin;1015613]Who knew back-in parking v. front-in parking was such the social divider. Just keep it civil guys![/quote]

I'm all about backing in. The issue for me is this:

Backing in (I've been doing it consistently for the past 5 years): Since it's all memory repetition at this point, it takes minimal holdup, if any at all. And getting out is a breeze, all I have to do is wait until I see an opportunity and then I'm out.

Pulling in: Sure it's slightly easier, but then when I'm trying to leave (esp. in Wegman's day-or-night jam packed parking lot, it goes like this:

Try to back out, have to stop for family/kid running around parking lot/old people/walking slow because they are being chatty on the cell people/tired people slowly pushing their big ass grocery cart people/tngaf (teens not giving a ****)/dickhead driver treating the parking lot like his/her personal speedway (a lot of those at wegmans)/insert other personal scenario here.

Just today I watched a chick on her cell drive around a car loading groceries, gas it through the stop sign posted in the middle of the road in front of Wegmans, and then give all the people heading in/out disgusted looks like they were the ones doing something wrong.

Not giving a **** is at an all-time high, every day I see someone do a stupid driving maneuver. I just saw a lady put her car in reverse and back up about ten feet to see if she could get in the turn lane, before she saw the traffic pulling up and blocking her in, all because she needed to turn but didn't recognize the road we were at. Is going 1 block and making a right turn there really going to ruin her day? Probably not but when you don't know where you're at and you're driving, people get super desperate. Like "make a hard right from the left hand lane on the highway across 4 lanes of traffic to make your exit just before the jersey barrier starts" desperate.

TL;DR: If I have to make a minor inconvenience to someone in a parking lot while I back in, so be it.

Let me add ordering coffee at McDonald's. If you order at DD and say cream and sugar no problems. Ask at MCD and they say how many of each? Seriously HTF do I know how many tiny shots of creamers do I need in my coffee. Nobody but Jersey dinners use those dumb creamers anymore; so fawking frustrating.
