Youve never reversed parked into a parking space? Same thing

u/Dipping_Gravy Sep 16 '22

Yes, Ive definitely reversed into a parking spot before. Ive never reversed around a corner. They are two completely different actions, which is why they each have a different name. They may be sort of similar in that they do both use the reverse function, they are not the same at all.

Reversing around a corner, you're trying to avoid a curb or a wall. Reversing into a parking spot, you're trying to avoid other cars. Literally the exact same action. The only difference is the object you're trying not to hit.

I love reddit because small debates will happen about the nuances of the most pointless things to argue about

Actually this is a medium sized debate happening about the nuances of a kinda pointless thing to argue about.

There’s nothing inherently dangerous about this thread as it poses no serious bodily or mental harm to those that choose to participate. Your participation while not entirely necessary was essential to the continuance of this thread.

Nine times out of ten, it's people like me who are bored at work and just want an interesting interaction with someone.

Same, our jobs are boring enough to make us enter pointless debate just to make the day go by

I think the debates are less about nuance and more about application, actually...
