Just realized my parking spot gripe is actually about people who back in badly

I used to think I hated people who back into spots in crowded lots. But after watching this guy at my local grocery lot in Maplewood take 3 tries to back his truck into a normal space I noticed something else. He left the back end sticking out almost 2 feet past the line. That means the person next to him has to squeeze in or risk a door ding. Now I focus on how lopsided the car ends up not which direction they came from. Anyone else notice the same thing in your own lot?

Agree with you completely. I've seen the same thing in my lot, people who back in but leave half the truck hanging out and act like it's fine. Its not the backing in that bugs me, its how sloppy they do it. You can usually spot the good drivers who pull in clean and straight versus the ones who just flip a coin and hope for the best. End result is always the same, someone gets blocked or has to park way out in the next row.
