Parking combat is his way of saying taking up two spaces…

I thought it was like going commando, except going combat meant that your car didn't have a bra on.

It's on of my pet peeves. When there is nobody around, fine. But in a busy parking lot, you are making other people wait while you carefully back into spot. Rude as sh*t. I find that it is more generational, rather than race.

Considering all the real problems we face each day, this hardly seems worth getting upset about. I’ve never thought twice about someone backing into a parking space.

I'm confused
When parking just drive through to the parking space in front then you can drive right out of the spot. No backing up needed.
What am I missing here?

My vehicles have “cross traffic “ sensors when traffic or pedestrians are approaching from the side.

By that logic, you don't have to wait for someone to back out of a spot when leaving.

I’ve called it tactical parking. But I don’t know if it ever got into the American lexicon.


I think you are pissed because people pull through the spot sometimes, and if it’s a small car, you don’t see it. And now you have to find a different spot.

I’m not sure I agree that is more exclusive to black women.

Also - it’s literally the same amount of time to back into a spot as back out of a spot.


bullshite. old ladies take forever. And Pulling out you have to wait for cross traffic. Backing in you force cross traffic to wait for you.

Piss me the hell off. Large trucks I perfectly understand.

But blocking the lane in parking lots these days;
partly cause they have no skill in doing it either.

And older afro women seem particularly into this.

ETA: parking combat is when you back in to park,

You might be the first person I've seen that is pissed at more things than me, and that's impressive.

Just relax. You're going to have a stroke or a heart attack before you're 60 if you let petty shite like this upset you.

The entire US military is taught to back vehicles in. I'm sorry you're unable to master the skills your average 18 year old kid picks up in a few weeks.

I prefer to back in whether driving my truck or our small arse A3 convertible. ESPECIALLY in a busy parking lot, where I may have to worry about some kid darting out in front of my spot as I’m trying to leave.

I don’t want to be responsible for hitting a kid, or adult. Sorry, baw. Just wait the extra 3 1/2 seconds.

Oh, so you mean the proven safest way to park and exit?

The way that protects you and others and gives the best visibility?

The way a lot of companies required you to park?

You are completely, 100% in the wrong here and completely off in your assessment.

You've clearly never worked in a plant, or any field that deals with vehicles, or been in the military.


Complaining about doing something the correct way makes you the bitch here

This is completely asinine. Studies have shown it's quicker to back in than back out. So you are slightly waiting at some point. You wait less with backing in
