I'm sure someone has. Me personally, I've been backed into by someone parked head-in who was reversing out of her spot. And just yesterday I was at Target and witnessed a woman back straight into a row of shopping carts being pushed inside.

This. And in my own experience, I've more often encountered people taking forever or parked crooked head-in than back-in. Might be a regional thing, but very few people back in where I live, so the vast majority of lousy drivers are pulling head-in anyway. Not to mention driving poorly on actual public roads.
But this is all an aside. I can't control what others do. I prefer to back in for my own reasons, so I will continue to do so in most instances.
