    It could have been better but it's not that horrible. Yung Revo sa likod ng Altis parang same din.

    I live at Holy Spirit Drive. Hehe! In fairness that corner is a sign of relief for me because that means I have already passed thru the horrendous traffic due to double parking along Holy Spirit Drive.

    Because the exhaust will leave marks on the wall over time ...

    there are many reasons for "park facing wall".
    but this is probably the one the parking facility operator/owner is going to have to pay for, to have it cleaned up

    park-anywhere ang pushcarts, even as the corral especially designed for them is clearly marked.

    Yeah, pushcarts, more often than not, won't fit between parked vehicles. In which case, parking facing the wall is the easiest way to load up your groceries.

    Exceptions to rule would be the classic VW Beetle or a Tesla.... where you load the groceries through the "frunk".

    .... Buwanan groceries namin... 1-2 pushcarts worth. If you're parking facing away from the wall, hirap mag load. Park facing the wall and the trunk/cargo hatch is easily accessible.

    Again, unless it's a Beetle, Tesla, etc.

    Try to keep up. ;)

    Just hate those parking stoppers, naga gasgasan lagi pang ilalim, worse yung bumper.

    If I had a choice, I'd always Park facing wall kahit gaanu kasikip.

    But isn't the front bumper always lower than the rear bumper? I always park backwards for the exact opposite reason - there's less chance to scrape my rear bumper than my front.

    Sorry sir, haha, I meant I'd prefer to park facing the wall kung hindi lang sa matataas na stoppers.

    Fine... Just so we are on the same page, this is what I meant...

    You park facing the wall (or curb) when you're loading from the rear of the vehicle


    Otherwise, for those ridiculously rich or ridiculously nostalgic, you can back into the parking slot if you load up from the "FRUNK"



    It is often difficult to convey tone and intent using just text, punctuations and emojis.

    I agree with you. If mag grocery talagang park facing the wall dapat it's just easier to load sa trunk but for other times paatras ang park ko.

    Pero i think kaya most of pinoys are parking paatras dahil it's easier to maneuver the vehicle in the slot.

    I noticed kasi sa states I always parked facing the wall dahil I don't know if their parking slot is bigger and wider but it's easier just drive into it pasok na agad kahit SUV pa dito hinde pwede eh especially pag meron ng cars Both sides

    Pag sa US kasi at grocery parking area,- malapad ang allowance for parking. Plus malapad din ang kalye. Dito kasi parehong makipot... Kaya roon, all the time "park facing the wall"..

    Tapos sa mga hotels, - may mga allocated parking slots for wide vehicles vs. regular vehicles.... Nakasulat naman sa mga parking slots.

    Tsaka wala (tayong) pakialam doon, dahil rental car e...

Don't you just love those people who park stupidly?
