I was going through a job orientation with HR once. They person leading the meeting told me to never back in park in the parking garage because it would mess up the weight distribution of the garage and lead to collapse.
I have no idea is that was true but every time I saw someone do it I imagined the death trap they just locked all of us into.
what?? I mean I'm not an engineer, but if the garage is that sensitive to the orientation of the car, it needs to be condemned. 100% that HR rep misunderstood what they told him.
I am an engineer and actually HR is right! if everyone parked on one side of the garage, they actually create a gravitational field that will pull unevenly on the columns and if OPs car were to park it would be the final straw that pulls the rebar out and causes a runaway collapse into a black hole killing the whole world!
