When you reverse into a spot, youre reversing into a spot. 
 

When you pull forward into a sport, youll later have to reverse into traffic. 

I'm on this side of the argument. When we are in my 4 door car, it doesn't really matter. But in my work van, it's a complete blind spot backing out in some cases, especially parking garages.

I don't even like backing it out of my driveway and I'm on a slight hill so I have a very good view of street traffic.

This nose-in / backing-in debate by itself could last longer than the Quinn Ewers thread.

What is the bigger sin, back in parking or not knowing how a 4 way stop works?

4 way would get my vote.

Ladies and gentledudes, behold the expediency of sending a certified piece of mail via USPS to a location 10 miles away …could have just driven there I suppose IMG_4107.thumb.png.abc7d5a3db947ebfbbb15500f363bfe3.png

Two times on yesterday's commute as I moved back out of the left lane after passing someone (as you are supposed to do), the driver I just passed moved into the left lane. Two times.

With Venmo these days there is no reason to slow pay anyone

I wish. Some people let those Venmo requests sit for weeks or months. I have one friend who is a very well paid attorney and has to be prodded 8-10 times to pay up on a $50 Venmo transaction

When something is snail mailed across town in my small town it gets sent to a distribution center in a city 200 hundred miles away 

Ironically is the most efficient way to deliver mail. 

Because if most local mail had to be transported in a roughly linear path end-to-end, it would require 50x as many mailmen, take 10x as long, and probably cost 20x as much.

I can't use Venmo, they don't like my cell number and won't let me sign up. Sorry.

It took me like 2 years to get Venmo because my wife got it first and they wouldn't allow 2 venmo accounts to feed into the same bank account.  They finally updated it like a year ago.

Yeah, the USPS evolved their distribution system to feign high transport costs in order to bilk you and your wife out of 78 cents for a letter.

No wonder my mail takes so long, I’ve been using sarcasm!

I remember about 10 or 15 years ago when they switched having a deposit box for "local" vs "out of town" to the current system. Before the switch, people could sometimes get their mail the same day it was dropped at the post office, or by the next day at the latest. Now it takes three to four days.

Agreed. We’d way rather talk about your insurance bill. 

Insurance bills, like property tax statements are legit grievances.

How people park is pretty trivial.

I don't know if it's still true, but I seem to remember FedEx routed most of its packages through memphis. 

So even if I shipped a box from Plano to Arlington it usually went to memphis first. Even it was like an overnight or 2 day package.

Still the case. My company ships everything FedEx. It's awesome during tornado season since tornado alley has basically shifted to right over that part of the country.
