There are some circumstances where a tailwind cannot be tolerated - my aircraft, for example. If the Engine Air protection System (EAPS) is being used (dust, blowing grass clippings, debris, ice etc) then the machine cannot have a relative wind from more than 90 degrees. End of story - the engine can ingest its own exhaust and flame out.
But for the Robbie or JetBanger that Terry is describing, plenty more factors can influence the pilot's decision to face away from the hangar. Not a great way to park, but the circumstances were the factor here.
