Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.

Why even ask? You clearly already know it’s better to return the cart.

Lol, modern society requires the smallest effort but people would still rather be selfish.

I've never understood why it's so much more difficult to put your cart back when you are done than it is to push it around the store and then out to your car. If you can get it to your car you can get it to the corral.

Thank you all. I will strive to increase my cart return compliance from ~75% to 100% going forward.

I think the free-for-all days of yore were clouding my judgment, but then again back in like the 70s it was also considered marginally socially acceptable to just chuck garbage out your car window, so yeah that excuse doesn't hold.

You'll just have to stay awake an extra 30 seconds that night to make up for the 30 seconds you lost returning the cart to the corral.

You could be the hero and take them both back.

And in the case of taking your cart back, you get to have the fun of seeing from how far away you can fire the cart into the corral. And the even more fun of chasing down an out of control cart.

Good times.

After that exchange above, I am not returning carts to the corral any longer... My plan, to Create Jobs.

Ladies and gentlemen, behold the pizza slicer. All edge and no point.

Be careful... you'll poke your eye out.

I saw something similar on the ground the other day. Couldn't figure out what it was, so picked it up. Said SAMSUNG on it.

I assume a stylus for some mobile device. Can't think of anything that still uses a stylus, though.

Samsung Galaxy S Ultra phones come with styluses. The Note series too until Samsung killed it.

no better way to end a shopping trip than firing your cart back at the nest and have it collect another stray on the way home

nothing left to do at that point but plop down on the drivers seat - pause before starting - and slowly grin with eyes squinting while raising your chin

SOCIOPATH

all seriousness...it's a micro aggression at worst and most people who get up in arms about people not returning theirs are probably doing way worse things every day.

I return mine every time of course, because in the people's republic of Australia, you have to insert a $1 or $2 into a lock to access the trolley in the first place and you need to return the trolley to the bay to re-connect your trolley to another trolley and get your coin back

I usually end up with little enough that I can grab my bags from the cart at the Entrance/Exit on my way out and leave the cart there.

When I know I won't be able to do that, I try to park near a cart corral--but not in the line of fire of weirdos slinging their carts at it from 40 yards away!

do you also have to pay to poop in public places, or does that come gratis similar to the entire us left coast democracy?
(of which i am a member if remembering correctly)

what kind of sick animal poops in public places?

also, someone is paying for those gleaming public bathrooms of yours....may as well be the people using them rather than the honest hardworking taxpayers who have the goddamncommoncourtesy to **** at home

I has a stylus on my Samsung phone. Have never used it

false assumption the act occurs in a bathroom

I'd happily drop a few coins in a meter if I was allowed to poop in the park

By the time I'm willing to poop in a public place anybody within 50 yards would be willing to pay the toll for me and give me a large gratuity to proceed in haste.

I've done some other things in public bathrooms, that didn't involve George Michael

Any food that requires wiping your hands or face after taking a bite.

Most sandwiches/hamburgers/tacos etc are overstuffed which causes this. Or worse, sauce dripping off and potentially getting on your pants.

I only say it shouldnt piss me off, because it obviously doesn't seem to bother other people as much. I literally choose foods and places to eat with this specifically in mind. Messy food pisses me off. I noticed my dad feels the same way. But everyone else just seems content to bathe in their meal and then wipe it off.
