Parking

I noticed this phenomenon this morning and wonder if anyone else has noticed the same.

Men are obsessed with backing into parking spots. Women just seem to be fine pulling in and then backing out--but men, perhaps with the notion that they will have to escape in a hurry, want to reverse into the spot so they can pull straight out.

I've noticed it with Isaac and I've noticed it at work. The small building in which I work houses our office, a male contractor, a male lawyer, a female CPA, and a group of female consultants of some type. My boss and the contractor both will go to great lengths to back into their parking spots. All of the women pull in forward as does the lawyer.

Is it a male ego thing? A "manly man" thing? The lawyer doesn't seem to mind being lumped in with us women--hell he's probably making more money than the rest of us combined. I think its a mystery that should be explored.
