Confession time: I'm a chronic parking space backer inner.
@the_etrain You think you know someone...
@Alice
I know. I'm trying to get better. It's a tough habit to kick.
@the_etrain
I would be too if I could do it without risking severe property damage every time.
@RuthWarkentin
When I met my wife, she was living in the city. I got very good at parallel parking, and it snowballed from there.
@the_etrain
27 years with no off-street parking in what my city laughably calls a parking-impacted neighborhood made me a champion parallel parker, but that was the extent of my parking development.
@the_etrain sometimes known as “Combat Parking”

@the_etrain This is a safety move! Easy to see what’s around you when parking and definitely a better view leaving.

A lifetime ago I worked for a telco, they wired their block heater cords (this IS Canada after all!) to the rear of the work vans so employees had to back in to plug them in in the winter.

@graand
I've worked at places that enforce it for safety measures too
@the_etrain Well, its been nice knowing you.
@KanaMauna
I was afraid I'd get canceled over this
