I bet if your friend lived alone he'd still shut and lock the bathroom door every time he took a piss.

My standing theory is... If I'm parking somewhere that when leaving I will want to load shit into the trunk (Groceries, Home Depot, whatever) then I pull forward in. Otherwise I back in. At home both cars are backed into the garage (detached 2 car) because the way our driveway winds around the side of the house it's just easier to pull forward getting out.
As for if backing in is "stupid", I have engineering proof it isn't. One of the most technically adept customers I have in the O&G space, if you go to their HQ, you have signs telling you that you HAVE to back into parking spaces. Because if something goes wrong at the HQ and people have to evac it's been proven to be faster and safer to pull forward to get out.

Some good reasons to do that though. Could be a curb or short pipe/post sticking up that might be hard to see for some reason. I've seen places that had signs sunk in 6" concrete filled pipes, but the signs were long gone, so you just had some random concrete post sticking out of the ground a foot or so... too low to see from inside your car and easy to miss while walking up if it's dark offset just right. Also, if a car or walker/bicycle comes by, being predictable makes whatever retarded thing they're doing less likely to intersect with whatever retarded thing you're doing. People do some of the dumbest shit imaginable in parking lots.
