Probably just move the cart from the fire doors, cant fix stupid.

Confession - sometimes I'll take a shopping cart into the store, and once inside, decide that I don't really need it, so I'll leave it in an aisle. And sometimes, I'll actually find an unused cart in an aisle, and decide I need it, so I'll take it. It's kind of my way of keeping order in the universe.

Hope to God it’s not someone meaner, harder, craftier than you.

That kind of threat is going to get my attention in a hurry, and not in a good way.

One is an accident/property damage. The other is assault.

(Fwiw- I drive a car that cost $200,000 new. Scratching my paint is hardly even on my radar.)

You seem to completely miss the simple solution here. Put the damn cart where it belongs and we'll all live happily ever after. And if you really think this is about the cost of the car you drive, you've completely missed the issue.

Nah, I’m letting them know if I see them. Maybe I can’t fix stupid but that’s something that could cost a lot of lives. For that I’ll try.

If I get into a fight over trying to save lives then it’s a fight worth having IMO.

Like I told the moron who opted to push his basket between my truck and the car next to me instead of taking it 20 feet to the adjacent cart corral..."Be very careful with that basket because if it even nicks my truck, I'm sending you to the hospital for a long stay." Though he bitched and moaned a bit, he reversed course and returned the cart to where it should have been.

So you would risk potential jail time and a large civil suit against you over a scratch on your truck? And you're the guy we should listen to about keeping civility and order in society? That's rich.

I think I posted this when it happened... saw a woman get out of her car at the grocery store. She grabbed a cart from the lot and pushed it towards the store. Along the way she grabbed another and brought that one with her too. Heck I wanted to ask her on a date based on that alone!

I didn't bump into her in the store, if I had I would have told her that, just as a compliment.

Most people suck.

Keeping civility in society? Really? Look around. Its civil here among the members because these are ethical, responsible people. Walk outside and that all but disappears. I'm not here for you to take cues from in the maintenance of civility or any other failing or absent societal characteristics. I expressed a personal opinion, not a call to arms to everyone to go forth and vanquish the parking lot cart morons. You handle them the way you choose to (or not), and I'll deal with them as I choose to.

There was the time when walking back to my parked truck I saw a woman leave her cart 6” behind my parked truck and then get in her car.

I moved it behind her car, got in my truck, waved at her, then backed out and drove off.

I do this almost every time I go to the store. If there are carts around my truck or the cars next to me, I generally collect them, run them into the cart corral, and keep one for my shopping visit. Takes all of a minute to do and insures carts aren't blown or knocked into mine other people's cars.

I’m the one who missed the point? Ha ha LMAO


You’re going to assault someone who maybe made a mistake because they’re inconsiderate. Wow!



Good luck brother. Ha ha ha


Hilarious you get bent over me mentioning the car price; about priorities and values. Clearly you value your possessions more than other peoples lives.

You do realize that it’s an inanimate my object made out of plastic, glass, metal and rubber can be replaced - easy peasy; fucking up someone’s life is permanent. BigEgo should be your moniker.


You have a very distorted sense of right and wrong. Clearly you don’t even understand the fargin law. Freakin explosive personality ticking like a bomb.


Decaf maybe

A man ought to do what he thinks is best
-hondo lane

For those interested,
If I park in the handicapped space and I don't take the cart in.
A lot of challenged people will use a cart to either Carry their return in
Or they use the cart instead of a cane or walker.

Thanks seems like an excellent way to get your ass kicked.

I always put my cart away. That said, it's a character measure without penalty. It lets you identify asswipes, but I won't get into a confrontation over it.

Agreed.

The closest I ever got to this kind of 'shopping cart' situation. I am getting back to my car from Costco, no cart. The guy parked to my left is behind his SUV loading in stuff from a cart. I get in my car and see in the mirror that he has finished and simply pushes the empty cart behind my car.

It was too much for me, and at that moment, it was worth it.

I got back out, pushed his cart back behind his SUV, got back in and drove the fuck off.

And that is my shopping cart story.

Beat me to it…

If their parents didn’t teach them better why would I ever think I could?

I have no problems picking up additional carts on my way into the store or returning mine, if I silently embarrass someone who is too lazy, so be it but I am not looking for any Samaritan awards.


People only have the control over you that you give them. If you let someone you don’t even know get you riled up to the point of profane outburst over such a innocuous thing you might want to take a look inside and sort out what you have going on in your life.

Now if they turned the thing loose and it bounced off my car doing damage, maybe. Otherwise I just don’t see any benefit in letting it raise my blood pressure.

P.S - Assuming you carry a gun, then are put in the position of having to use it in a confrontation you initiated, how do you think that is going to go for you?

Just not worth the aggravation and risk.

Nope, I have a very straightforward and simplistic view of right and wrong. I have zero business messing with anything that's yours, and as such, I treat your property as if it were mine and make sure I don't in any way negatively impact it or you. Not complicated at all.

Oh I fully understand the law. I've just simply decided that since no one else in the country apparently has to adhere to it any more, allowing millions of people to act like complete assholes with impunity, I'm not going to worry much about it anymore either.

I did enjoy the cat pic though...

I disagree. He’s had it. Many of us have. It’s all Karen until you come out to your vehicle, that costs hard earned money, and it’s banged up from a cart that a lazy entitled narcissist fuck couldn’t be bothered with. Now I got to spend $1000 to fix my vehicle because someone was an ass hole?

I’d agree with you if he punched him in the throat. Words aren’t violence however. If everyone everywhere lets this go, it’s only going to get worse. I’m not damaging people’s shit as I don’t want it on my conscience and put the thing away every time, even when it’s cumbersome such as freezing temps, rain, etc. I also clean everything I touch at the gym and put things back in the correct place. And I’m one of the very few doing it and I regularly get into it with people at the gym, chew them out, etc. On several occasions they got and get staff with their gen z ass and the staff says “He’s right” then points to the sign where it says clean after use, re-rack, etc.

I’m tired of all these lazy fucks too. Whether right or wrong he didn’t break any laws.

I just walk up and put the cart away. Right in front of them.
