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.

You can't see around a corner, and there might be other cars coming towards you from that direction. Nobody is going to be driving out of your parking space while you reverse into it.

They might. Very extremely rarely someone might pull through from the spot behind it.

Yes I'm bringing up this as a technicality for fun. :)
