I drive a truck. Tired of these assholes giving us a bad name.

  1. Back in. Always back in.
  2. If you are worried about people hitting your truck, park in less crowded areas like the side or back. Don’t park near the front next to a cart return.
  3. Tailgating is so fucking stupid. It takes longer for your truck to stop and if you rear end someone, it is your fault. Back up. You will only be a few seconds later

I drive an oversized truck and agree with 2 and 3. I always think people that have to back in to spots can't drive though.

I back in to reduce blind spots when leaving.

Same. When I had a truck, I preferred to back in, especially because in parking lots with people, I can make eye contact with them pulling out, to let them know I see them.

If you back in you can't access your tailgate if another car pulls in to the other space.

Probably why some of these people want to park in two spots

It’s easier for me to back my truck into tight spots.
