Backing into a parking space in a parking lot. Yea or Nea?

Sensors and cameras on our cars, yet nay. Habit of a lifetime.

In my truck..almost always. It’s important to see side to side when backing out, and on a larger vehicle, that doesn’t happen until you’re already blocking the aisle. The only exception is angled spots, which only inconsiderate morons back into.
As for our other cars…it depends.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Mostly not, although I have a spot at work that I always try to get into, as it advertises how early I'm getting in (touches of George Costanza), and if the one directly behind it taken, I'll back in.

Almost never. Though occasionally at the gym. Not sure why. Maybe I’m feeling extra masculine or something.
I have a friend who went through transplant when I did. She jokes that she must have had a male donor because ever since transplant she backs into her parking spots.

Always back into a parking space.

Depends.
Some parking lots post signage that says not to back into a parking space. -

Only if it will be really crowded when I come back out, like at an event.

I like to pull through a double parking space so I'm able to exit quickly without a back-up. I'll trade some walking distance for that spot. Otherwise, depends - on how crowded the lot is.

And I usually park as far away as I can, and still be in the lot.
The close spots are for the old ladies.

After transplant I always did that. Because I finally could. Pre-tx I needed the handicapped spots.

This is the way.
Normal scenarios, I used to but now I don't, probably because of the qualify of backup cameras/sensors make it easier to back out when departing.

Like Kluurs, I do look for pull through spaces.

Related, I am a big proponent of just find a spot and park, don't go up and back looking for the "closest" spot.

I am always afraid someone will "ding" the car door, so try to avoid parking near someone. But , usually, I dont have a choice.

That's only a problem if you drive an International Woman of Mystery car like an Aston Martin. I drive a Honda, so I don't care.
