People leaving shopping carts....
this has to be one of my biggest peeves, how hard is it to put your cart into the return?!?!?!
I go to lunch on break, park on the side of WalMart to avoid anything happening and still I manage to come out to this (we have a wind advisory here). I was basically minutes away from a cart into my Z because of lazy a-holes. |

Ticks me off quite a bit. When youre done shopping you should go put the cart in its area. Not push away from your car (so you dont hit it) INTO another parking slot.

I think it's ALDI that does this, but they basically make you put a quarter in a lock to get a cart, and when you return the cart, you get a quarter back.
It's very noticable how many less carts there are in their parking lot vs Walmart... I think your situation, should something have happened, the store would have been liable due to negligence... |

Sh!t.. people are so damn lazy nowadays. Yesterday I went to the movies and there was exactaly 4 people in the theatre including my wife and myself. One dbag leaves his cup and nacho box sitting around his seat after the movie and walks out. WTF is wrong with you lazy basturds????
I always take the cart all the way to the cart return no matter how far away it is but you know something?.. in this day and age, that kind of "show by example" isn't exactaly rubbing off. Pathetic. |

One of the reasons America is FAT. I was at Sam's today and moved 2 carts to the cart return because some lazy POS couldn't make the trip. Total disrespect for their fellow man. I wish it was legal to bitch-slap dbags in public and get a reward for it.

The most pathetic thing to watch is the way some dbag will try for 2 minutes to park the cart so that it doesn't actually roll away when in half that time, they could have just taken it over to the cart return and worked off part of that Whopper they choked down at the drive-thru.

If I drive the Z to the store, I park far away. The weather is always nice, so I don't mind the walk in. I also like looking at the car as I walk away or towards it. Someday, I'm going to catch a hottie peaking in, bent over, unaware....nevermind.
