Why oh why do people insist on reversing into parking spaces? Think about it. It just DOESN'T MAKE ANY PRACTICAL SENSE! Ok, most of the time, you've got to reverse at some point, but why not wait until leaving the car park? Maybe they think it will be easier to get out? Well it wasn't easier to get in, was it?!?!

I've lost count of the times I've had to wait patiently while some imbecile manoeuvres backwards and forwards trying to reverse into a parking space. I say 'wait patiently', hah! Most of the time my blood boils as I tap on the steering wheel and think how pointless the operation is.

Supermarket car parks are full of them! What stupidity possesses the already cretinous minds of these fools? Is it because they enjoy the challenge maybe? As if the tricky neck-wrenching manoeuvre wasn't enough, they then have the inconvenience of negotiating a packed shopping trolley through parked cars to get their shopping in the boot! Have you ever returned to your car to find a dent or scratch that wasn't there when you left it? Well it's the idiot reverser squeezing his/her shopping trolley past your car so they can put the shopping away! Don't they realise how simple it would be if they had parked properly in the first place?

So therein lies the solution: Just drive into the parking space forwards.

Simple eh?
