Basic misconceptions in bolton performance

Onto more serious stuff ..

Morons always reverse and park their cars facing outwards

I'm trying to find a parking spot in a busy downtown shopping mall.
I could see some spots  open but then what's up ?whats holding up the queue ahead ?
Its the smart ass trying to park his car facing the right way!!
      I just dont get it.. whats the point ?
     It is tougher to park in reverse, it takes up more time, it holds up people and blocks both lanes.
While parking into the slot : (1)The driver will 1st go forward and into the opposing lane instead of simply turning into the slot.This will hold the opposite lane as well as your own lane. Nice job smart guy.(2) Now the driver will reverse into the slot, its slower and tougher to back into a slot going backwards u stupid moron.Reversing into an open area is easier then reversing into a limited parking slot..get it ?
So by now car is parked. (3)Here are the additional disadvantage I can see - if you have a wall then your boot is now close to it..try and load stuff into your boot after you come back from shopping.
But hey who cares this guy will load stuff into his boot while holding up traffic again..
While getting out of the slot :
(1)Its the same while getting out. Since the steerable wheels are now facing outside the turning radius is reduced. The car will have to travel slightly further to get the tail end of the car out of the slot before being able to turn the steering to full lock and drive away.(2)So now this guy will go into the opposing lane and then start turning which will take more space.
Morons dont get it ? If you face the road doesn't mean its faster to get in or out.
Its like that Ostrich thingy where these birds think they are safe by burying their head in the sand.. vaguely similar analogy - these retards face the exit so they think its faster/convenient ? or fun ?whatever..
Other technique used by 99% of the normal people - find a slot, simply drive into it.To leave : back out till you can get your front wheels turned just enough to face the right way. Now drive off.
