Mysteries of the Universe: #5744E3W
As a writer of novels that often have gender-bender characters I am always on the lookout for new observations about male and female behavior. I've noticed, for example, this scenario time and again:
My personal research reveals the drivers who back into a parking spot are generally men -- and frequently these vehicles are trucks.
Is it because men are more often philanderers, and parking this way allows a quick escape when caught in the act?
Does it have something to do with every young boy's dream (at some point in his life) to be a fireman?
Is it a way to show off one's prowess at parking?
Anyone?

Being from the UK, i am familiar with drivers,mostly men, backing into parking spaces.This is usually so that upon returning to the car,it is easier to get away. I have to admit,i am not particularly great at any manoeuvre involving reversing,so i would take the "easy" way out and just pull in .I found too, that this provided easier access to the boot(trunk). I observe Americans do the same....just pull in.Maybe cos it's easy?????????
