Seriously.... why?
I can back a truck into a spot (if needed) the first stab pretty much every time. That comes from dragging trailers and working on the farm, backing up to feed docks, etc.
However, there is this mass following of people that think they have to back into a parking space?! I dont get it. I can see why people would drive through so they could pull straight out but what is the deal with those that think they have to back in, especially if it takes them several stabs?!
This morning a guy pulled in ahead of me to two spots. Keep in mind our parking lot is for two high rises and a Marriot keyed toward business. The parking lot has THOUSANDS of parking spaces. This guy goes to the only two with cars so he couldnt pull through. Err go, he starts the backing in process in an extended cab Chevy.
First stab.... nope. Second stab, still not straight. Finally on the third stab he makes it. He then had to jump out and run to the back of the truck to be sure he had backed as far as he could into the space....
By that time I had pulled in, parked, walked past about 25 spaces, and was well on my way into the building. I was busy watching him so I was even slower than usual!
And its not just this guy. I see people doing this every day in that parking lot!
Ok, end of rant...
