I clearly don't get it. Why is it so important for some of you - you know who you are - to BACK into parking spaces? Lately, there seems to be an epidemic of this behavior. My last several visits to Walmart and/or the supermarket meant I had to patiently wait my turn to park while I endured the contortions of some guy in a monster truck (or soccer mom in a minivan) as they attempted to squeeze into their chosen spot - backwards. It's hard enough to get those behemoths into the typical parking spot frontways. Why would anyone make things harder on themselves by choosing to do it the other way around? It must be some form of masochism. A modern equivalent of self-flagellation. OR perhaps...just maybe...these people are sociopaths who haven't yet found another way to punish the rest of the world for existing. At least they're not in some dark alleyway torturing puppies and kittens. I should be grateful.
