Dear Parking Lot Backer-Inner,

Dear Parking lot backer-inner,

I was the person in the parking lot yesterday patiently waiting, smiling and silently fuming while you backed your monster sized SUV into the small parking space near the door.

While you backed in,

readjusted & pulled forward,

Backed in,

and repeated the process for 5 fricking minutes. Until of course you were wedged in there so tightly the folks in the next car had to turn sideways and practically climb in their car window.

Is there something in your brain waves that forces you to park that way? Are you robbing the grocery store and need to pull out for a quick getaway? Does it make you feel special? Is there a sense of pride in walking out of the store and seeing your front grill?

All I know is that you usually take two spaces, I always have to wait for you to get parked and you seem to have some sense of entitlement when it comes to pulling out of that space as well.

Please park in the back of the lot from now on; join those puller-thoughers out there, okay?

Thanks!

Visiting from SITS --
This is so true! At the grocery store that I go to most often, the parking lot is always full, and you almost always have to wait for a spot. I can't stand the people who take even more time backing in. It's like...I know that you're trying to accomplish something really important here, but I'd just like to get past you and get in the store so I can be done with this and go home!

LOL.....your post is funny - I loathe the backer-inners

Megryansmom said...

HI, came from SITS. Those HUGE SVU backer inners have no logic. How on erth will they open the hatch to load their groceries? DUH!

Midwest Mommy said...

Drives me nuts! Or when husbands park in the handicap spots while waiting for their wives and then DO NOT move when someone needs the spot. Shameful!

DiPaola Momma said...

I LOVE this SITS open-letter-a-thon. IF nothing else I no know that the idiots who make me want to go POSTAL also do the same for others.

Food for thought, whatever happended to common courtsey?

Ronnica said...

I don't understand the whole backing into a parking space thing. I like to drive out of a spot, sure, but it's easier to back out than to back in.

Yeah, I bet that guy (lady?) has one of those special drivers lisences where they are ABOVE most laws. Short of vehicular manslaughter, they pretty much do whatever they want out there on the road, for rules and common courtesy do not apply to THEM.

Mamarazzi said...

oh yeah...i HATE that!!

fellow SITSta!

Annikke said...

Visiting you from SITS..... I hate those people too!!! UGH

Lynette said...

i hate those people. I wish that when they have those signs that say don't back in, somebody comes by and tows your car when you do it anyways. JERKS!

Mom Mom said...

I can't stand that either! Why is it that the people that back in have the biggest cars?

I can't remember the last time I backed into a spot. Why would you waste the time?

boo bad parkers!

April said...

I'm over from SITS...and I couldn't agree more with your post!!

Nin said...

Ahaha, this cracked me up!!!

Columbia Lily said...

TOTALLY. It's almost as bad as the people that stalk other people exiting the store and follow them to their car, then wait for 10 minutes so they can have the parking spot that is 15 feet closer to the door than the other one I am trying to get to. Grr. Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Veggie Mom said...

Why do these people park this way? Quite annoying! Hey there, SITSta, I've got a Great Giveaway Goin' On. Please drop by my place to Check. It. Out!

Mom To Six said...

Amen! This totally happened to my husband and I in a very busy movie theater parking lot just last night! And not only did the parking lot backer-inner make us wait, but the many cars who were behind us too! Some people are just completely self-absorbed and inconsiderate!.... oh, and bad at backing their vehicles!

Amanda K said...

Thanks for visiting me and leaving me some SITSa Love!! I totally agree with this letter!! My hubby backs his huge truck in and it takes him 2 seconds... we can't understand why people in smaller cars take forever! When I drive the "beast" truck... I pull in far away and take a long walk to the store!!
