Nah we back in in our 1 horse towns as wellMaybe it’s time to move to a 1 horse town so you don’t have to worry about AH that back in.
Personally I always back my truck in unless I need to load stuff in the bed. It makes it easier when leaving to see the people with the zoomies that would hit me if I was backing out.
Just my $0.02
My work strongly encouraged us to park such that we could drive out forwards. This often involved backing into a spot, unless one could pull through.Maybe it’s time to move to a 1 horse town so you don’t have to worry about AH that back in.

I know it's marginally safer especially for those who can't use a back up camera or have neck issues.
That's fine. Drivers have to be aware so it's no big deal.
I especially hate the ones who spend like an hour trying to back in their huge pos, and in the end, they're parked crooked as hell, taking up both their spot and the spot next to them.
I'd say half the cars on the road don't have backup cameras and of those, half or more aren't very good. The one in the Camry I just rented was very poor.
Nope, sorry, I'm still going to pull through.
Leaving forward is easier and safer than backing out into a pedestrian who technically has the right of way but seems to put extra effort into appearing out of nowhere and being unaware of their surroundings. Though I'll pull forward with a full-size vehicle not with something even bigger. Oversized vehicles means owners walk further. Can’t , unfortunately wrong vehicle choice.
My company was the same way.
I was sitting in my car eating my lunch one day, and some guy decided to back into the spot next to me.... It took him three or four tries, each time winding up crooked, too far over, or some other such issue (I think the spot itself was pretty narrow). So once they got parked, the kid in the back seat opened his door and of course it banged into my car. Being the jerk that I am, I rolled down my window and chastised the father for making all that effort to park "special" only to have the kid ding my car anyway. It was right about at the moment the other kid kicked open the door on his side and dinged the car on the other side too!
Would him pulling in have prevented the ding?
I think all of us would struggle to make a 390 degree turn lol. *120
LOL..I mean 290.
I think so, yes. I should have been more specific - the kid's door hit my mirror..... A place it wouldn't ordinarily hit if they were parked normally.
To pull forward and out into the intended traffic direction means your turning radius much tighter, and the traffic lane width is usually a vehicle's width, so you have much more trouble driving out, so which in my case, my car got hit (and saw the video footage)... unless you plan on driving against the flow of traffic, and what happens if there is a person driving down that row? You going to drive in reverse or force the other person drive in reverse, because you're the inconsiderate idiot driving the wrong way?Nope, sorry, I'm still going to pull through.
I don't know why people with extra long and wide vehicles don't simply park 50 feet farther away and make driving in and out easier on everybody including themselves. Nobody cares if someone even take up two spots as long as they park farther away.
