What REALLY grinds your gears?

I usually back into parking spots so I don't have to back out

This is the only rational way to park, anyone parking otherwise should immediately lose their license.

Then there would be far more parking spots. Job done!

that reminds me of something that grinds my gears, people who pull headfirst into a spot, the spot in front of them is vacant but they don't pull forward to take it, eliminating any need for reverse at all. do you ever see people do that? i'm all about the pull through bonus. i only back into spots anymore when i really have to due to poor a poor angle

Problem when you do that is if someone is trying to pull in to your bonus spot at the same time. I have seen it a few times.

See, I get super pissed if it's a busy parking lot and you can't see what's going on in the other aisle and I'm like, "AWESOME. Free spot!" and then some jerk-off pulls through and I'm half-way in the spot and they're just staring at me like, "Move."

Don't get me wrong, I definitely do the pull-through if I'm 100% sure that I can see and make sure no one else might want that spot. I've only had to get out of my car to yell at people maybe three times ever and two of those times came from a busy parking lot and people pulling through when I've already started into the spot and they just put it in park and got out.

I thought that the only reason people backed into a spot was to look cool and show off there rod.
