    No worries.

    Can we also start a conversation on the digital coupon bullshit?

    The problem with that is the parking for pregnant mothers isn't anywhere near the cart corral.

    Yeah I return the shopping carts back to where they're parked so that other customers can use them as I did.

    Don't mention "pregnant mothers" and "corral" around FF or TLS or they might pass the idea to their congresscritters.

    Years ago, around 25 or there about. I stopped at Wal-Mart to buy something. Don't remember what it was. Well anyway some fat cow loads her did into her shopping cart and lets the shopping cart go. It rolls into my car and puts a small ding into it. I tell her what she did, and she blows it off saying it's nothing, I don't remember exactly what she said. My car at the time was about 6-7 years old. But still in near show room condition.

    One of these BTW.

    1-1618406874398@2x.jpg

    Fat cow walks off saying something to her equally fat heifer friend about me. So I decided to get even. I get half a dozen or so carts, push them together and line them up about 200 feet from her fairly new minivan. Used my car to push them towards her van, I floored it when I did. Hit the brakes on and the carts slam into her van hard enough to rock the van and puts a huge ass dent into her minivan. Fuck the Karen cunt, only wish I stuck around to see her reaction when she came back.

    Leaving your carts wherever is one thing, but leaving them where they're touching my car!

    Yes, I drive a Kia Soul. Yes, I know they're for girls.

    I thought they were for hamsters? I do not know how to tell a girl hamster from a boy hamster, but the ad clearly stated they were for hamsters. I assume other rodents too.

    I agree, but does this mean you are implying all definitions of hamstering?

    Hmm... *pulls up Urban Dictionary"

    I have done this.

    Oh, I definitely do this.

    No! Do not want!

    Isn't that just doggie style?

    Well, how else would one acquire food? It's not like there are stores and restaurants everywhere that just sell the stuff.

    Like, using a straw? I'm not a big fan of straws. Not because I care about turtles, I just know how to drink from a glass like an adult.

    Those were gerbils. Gerbils are different from hamsters. Stuffing gerbils is a matter of shouldn't rather than can't. Hamsters, well, try it and see what happens.

    I'd bet the guy driving this car is the sort who doesn't put his cart back.

    Note the two wide open spaces right fucking there!


    There were also open spaces that were closer to the door of the restaurant he went in to.

    Christians. They think they can do whatever they want and as long as they say something like "Peace be with you" or "I care about your soul" their shitty behavior is justified

    These people do not live in reality

    This is what happens when you don't return your carts: They take away most of the parking lot.

    Let this be a lesson to you all.

    Apparently someone doesn't get it because there's an unreturned cart visible in the image.

    Spotted today. Three different stores located between half a mile to a mile from these apartments.

    If there isn’t frequent and reliable transit between the two points then I have a lot more sympathy for folks that simply need to get groceries home and don’t have a car.

    For me someone who is obviously financially stressed not making a mile to two mile round trip just to return it is different from someone in the parking lot not wanting to make the 20 meter round trip to put one back in a corral.

    Hopefully when they go back to the store they take the cart with them.

    I suspect these were taken by homeless people and then gathered up by somebody. There’s a decent-sized group of homeless that hang out in this area and I see random shopping carts left on the side of the road, in greenspaces, etc.

    I thought it was funny that there were three different stores represented. :lol:

    This doesn’t bother me. If you’re walking to your car, put the cart in the cart corral. But, if you don’t have a car and gotta walk home …, yea, have one of the kids (or pay neighbor kid) take the cart back. But, I definitely don’t blame people who have to walk to the grocery story to use the cart to carry their groceries home.
