I'm not downvoting you, because this is the type of comment the thread is asking for. But I really need to question this one. To me, it's obviously geometrically easier to back into tight parking lots. I'm not sure if you're in the US, but here in Norway, parking lots are generally a lot tighter than american parking lots. When you have only about a meter of total clearance and a narrow road along it, there is no way in hell to pull in front first.

On the east coast of the US, most parking lots are wide enough for 2.5-3 cars. Much wider than a single perpendicular parking space. Backing out into that wide driving path is so much simpler than backing into a single car-width.

Regardless, I simply am going off my experience having to sit and watch and wait as people constantly take far longer to back-in than when I have to wait for those backing out.

When the lots are wide or several spots are free, I agree, I might pull in front first. But tight parking lots need that extra precission you get by backing into a lot. I have far more often been stuck for a while behind someone trying to pull in front first into a tight spot when backing in would have been quick and easy.
