The laws of trailer ownership.
You will find everyone is an expert when you've cocked up reversing, onlookers will shout left hand/right hand down, or you get the irritating one who stands behind you waving their finger around, i think in a circle, but you can't see it, then they disappear from view and you have to stop because you can't see them.
There are ones that encourage you back as you are clear of the gatepost, forgetting there is another side to the vehicle, keep checking both sides, never trust the 'helper'.
When you reverse perfectly in one smooth movement no-one is there to witness it, same as in hitching up. But the little self satisfying 'high' is reward enough.
(my OH is well trained in the art of disappearing when i am reversing)
