is that walmart? i see the blue color.

personally i ALWAYS park far away from where i'm going, away from other cars, for this exact reason. because people are lazy as shit and don't care about anything. so the ones who are lazy will park closer but will also park like shit and not care about hitting cars next to them with the doors since they are lazy.

Kroger.

They have cart returns just about every 5 or 6 spaces on every aisle, so there's really no excuse.

That's one of my biggest day to day piss offs. Unlike many things, you can't justify it by intelligence, genetics, class, or wealth. It's pure laziness, and a big fuck you to everyone else. I'd be perfectly fine with pickaxing their car, and they wouldn't get a single gram of sympathy from me.

Yup it's retarded but we can't force them to put them away. I never park near the front for that reason too.

That's why I like the markets that you pay a quarter to unlock a shopping cart and get that quarter back when you return it.

I like Aldi's system, where it takes a quarter to get a cart. People that lazy are usually greedy too, and they won't let 25¢ go that easily.

I'm sure the ones who leave the carts scream the loudest when their car gets scratched by one.

I am more worried how self-centered people are ruining every other facet of life in America, but yeah I have seen comical amounts of laziness in parking lots.

I ALWAYS park out in the middle of nowhere, and without fail someone always parks beside of me, or multiple people. It's annoying, there is a reason I park out there to begin with. I have a '68 Mustang I don't want dinged up.

And yes, shopping cart laziness is annoying. As a cop, I wish there was a ticket I could write if I caught someone doing that. But like most things on private property, we couldn't do anything about it.

Those carts also mean that the wind will blow it into your car AND you can't use the spot. It's not as bad as lazy dicks who will sit in an isle and/or drive around for three minutes just to save themselves walking about 5 spots extra in distance from the door.

What I see in my area is worse. Not just carts in the lot but i'm seeing more and more people leaving walmart sized plastic bags full of trash and drink containers on lots.

A recent example: I was at Petsmart 2 weeks ago, I sat in the car while my wife did her thing. I watched this fat woman load up her V8 SUV and was too lazy to close the hatch, then she left the cart next to her vehicle, got in and apparently pushed a button to close the hatch..wow really? she was literally about 10 paces in front of a cart return.
12 spaces away, lays a neatly tied sack of trash and a 44oz fountain container from some other Duesche.
Then later I watch from inside McD's some black woman from drive through throwing out her ketchup packets on the ground instead of pulling up to the trash container 20 ft away. Really sad how fckered up America is these days.

I like what Aldi's does, makes you insert a quarter to unlock the carts. Every retailer needs to do that.
