The cart return is THREE SPOTS AWAY!

[ZaneNBK]

Look you stupid, lazy, selfish wench, the shopping cart return is THREE spots away from where you're standing, yet you refuse to take the effort. Instead, you stop and leave the cart on an INCLINE right next to your vehicle. When it demonstrates what a horrible idea this is by rolling away, you stop and grab it and rebalance it on the incline so that it won't roll until you've driven away and have put it out of your self-absorbed little mind. It would've taken you all of 30 seconds to walk it to the cart return and act like a responsible human being for a change.

Carts lying around don't piss me off, but blatant laziness, stupidity and selfishness all do. Combining all three is more than I can handle. Next time I'm getting out of my car and returning the cart myself while the idiot watches. Unfortunately I didn't think of doing that at the time because I was too busy controlling my roid rage.

Sorry, i had the squirts I didn't think I would make it to my house in time, so I decided not to screw with the buggy

You should have blocked her in with your car while you moved the cart. (Or you could have just ignored the trivial incident.)

That's one of my major pet peeves. Along with the self absobed douche that leaves the cart in the checkout line even though they have to walk RIGHT PAST the cart return area on the way out the door.

These people should be on the government's hit list, same level as Al Queida.

If I ignored incidents like this I'd be happy ALL the time. You have to have some yin with your yang... Or something...

This is a major annoyance for me too.

Check this out.

As I was pulling into a parking space at a local grocery store, some dumb biatch decides to shove her empty cart right at my approaching car! My dad was with me and he said "wtf?", like I did. It hit my front end but did no damage. I drove a Caprice Classic at the time. So what did I do? Without batting an eyelash I kept going forward anyway and pushed that cart right into the back end of her car while she watched. She didn't think it was very funny like she did when she shoved it at me. The cart folded up good and did some nice damage. I got out and said to her "Seems to be no damage to my car at all. Not even a scratch". Then I started to laugh at her. She got mad and started to biatch at me. I said "If you got a problem, I suggest therapy. The mental kind.". She said she is going to call the police. I said go ahead I am sure they would love to see how this started. I then went in the store still chuckling to myself.

The police would never show up anyway unless there is a criminal code violation, since that area is considered private property.

I suggest you never ever come close to an asian supermarket here in southern Cal. You just may pop a blood vessel from your rage.

Money could not buy a scene that funny.

That is so true.

My dad and I still laugh about it. That was back in 1994. Its a great story to tell.

Those things are showing up my NEIGBORHOOD! Freakin' A! At least I see a truck going around trying to get them.

But.....there is this ONE cart that has been in my street for the past couple of weeks, and has move down the street like 6 house in the past couple of days. Its those grandmas that go to the market and take the cart back to their homes.

At least the carts match. One "asian" market I went to in Portland had a Home Depot cart or something....

 

[ultimatebob]

Yeah, I hear that! The people are SOOO freaking lazy at my grocery store that they just decided to get rid of the cart returns altogether. No one bothered to use them anyway, so they removed them to create a few more parking spots.

That's what I usually do. Unless there is a cart return within a few yards, I will just leave the car so it doesn't roll. Don't expect me to walk all the way back to the front if they don't bother to put enough cart returns closeby. Besides, they have staff whose job it is to take care of these things. If I just spent $100 on groceries, I expect to not have to haul my cart back across the entire parkinglot to the front of the store.

What a tool!

Seriously though, if you can't be bothered to walk your cart back to the store (and get some exercise) why not say yes when the bagger says "would you like some help out?"

If you're capable of pushing your grocery laden cart to the car then you're capable of bringing the empty cart back to where it belongs. Don't be a lazy a$$.
