I just copy and paste. Click on the picture, on FaceBook for example, and the pic will open in a new window. Then copy and pasteMy biggest pet peeve right now is not knowing how to post a picture in a thread on Tidefans. I need help, but make it simple. Thanks. BTW I have read the Q&A on here and it did not help.
I find I have to laugh at my own hypocrisy on this one. Admittedly I have a lead foot, occasionally even to the point of being obnoxious. I'm very aware of it though, so I try to tone it down. I'd say I average driving about 8-12mph over on most roads yet I always find myself hardcore judging anyone driving faster than me no matter the speed I'm going. Especially if I'm driving the interstate cruising 70mph in a 55 and someone blows past doing 80mph. I've made comments to passengers that "me driving 15 over obviously isn't good enough for that jerkwad." Then 20 minutes later I'm the one rolling along at 85.day-day;3239727} said:Excessive speeding for the situation (I get to determine what is excessive).
An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks more than you do.I forget where I heard it, but I heard once; "It doesn't matter what speed you are going, anyone driving faster than you is a reckless idiot and anyone driving slower than you is an incompetent moron." I'm the poster child of that quote.

This is why:People creating a jam while backing, readjusting, and backing some more to back into a parking space when there’s ample room to maneuver and pull in front first. There are times when backing in is the best move due to the vehicle size and constricted areas but what is the fascination with having a car backed in to a spot? There’s almost always more room for backing out into a lane than backing into a spot. I also get backing in if there will be a mass exodus at the end of some event
People zooming up on me and cutting around me when I'm blindly backing out of a parking space. They can see my car moving out and can see that my line of sight to them is blocked. There may be a van or tall pickup truck next to me and I have to back halfway out of the space before I can get a good view down the lane.
This did cross my mind. Doesn't help me and maybe not so much for others. Happens to me if I'm pulling out or backing out. My car sits pretty low and more of my front is out past a truck or van before I can see oncoming cars.This is why:
I back in every chance I get. But I never hold anyone up in doing so because I always take measures to ensure that doesn't happen. Timing is everything and sometimes you just have to be patient. Most of life is like that too, philosophically speaking.This did cross my mind. Doesn't help me and maybe not so much for others. Happens to me if I'm pulling out or backing out.

If you and cbi1972 keep this up, I'll have less items to go crazy about. Maybe I can ward off high blood pressure and grey hair a little longer.I back in every chance I get.

In thinking about this, the one exception is if I have to load or unload my truck in such a way as it impacts my decision. And also at Publix, I have a certain spot I prefer to park in and do it nose first. It's way out away from everyone else and next to a cart corral. Parking next to the corral allows me to push my cart into it and unload directly into my truck without any further movements. Also, I like parking away from everyone else so I don't feel like just another cow or sheep in the herd.
My truck is an extended cab Silverado with a full size (8') bed so it has a bit of length to it. 13 years with no parking lot incidents knock on wood.....
