back in every chance I get. I have to back into my garage so I can get out in the morning without hitting my bush or the garage itself. I have a duplex with a single car garage and the g/f parks at the end of the driveway so if I pull in, I can't swing the car out because of a huge bush we have and I'll be damned if I'm gonna scuff my front end just to back out. It's easier this way I've found. For parking, I only back in unless I'm in a hurry.

Always backup/drive thru but then realize how stupid it is when I go to put groceries/"hits" in the trunk when I return.

It all depends on location and how hard it would be to get out of the spot after you're in it!

Are we talking about cars here?

I like to drive through to the other side, and I usually find a space at the far side of the lot. Though driving forward is easiest.

If it's crowded, I would wait until the leg of opportunity open then put it in as fast as I can.

All depends on my mood but most of the time I just pull in. I only back in when the parking spaces are horizontal. You know how you go in a mall and the parking spaces are slanted, well I still see people back into spots like those and its hilarious. Those lines are supposed to make parking easier and they go out of their way to make it harder to get in and out

I usually go straight into the spot. It makes me mad when I'm running late for work when I'm driving in the parking deck and the person in front of me holds me up by stopping and backing into the parking spot.

Well, I'm always there before I'm technically late, but I need to be there earlier because I don't know what challenges lie ahead for the day.
