re: What happens to ppl who leave shopping carts in parking lots when they die?

The extra 5 steps out of the buggy boy's way isn't hurting him. Half the time they're standing around doing nothing anyway

I always put mine up or at least prop the front tires on a curb so it will not roll and hit a car.

Funny spin off - I once (as a 20 something student) worked as a Christmas tree sales guy in a strip mall. We stayed open way later than all the stores and started drinking every night about 5 pm.

Every night when I left I would ease up behind the wondering shopping cart then push it up to 75 mph across the parking lot, turn and let it go flying over this curb/bank. Fun Times

Here while back on a hot-arse July day I was doing my usual return cart back to store and not simply to cart corral like some pussy assed bitch and as I was walking back I hear someone holler at me and it was an ol black cart guy thanking me.


Felt pretty good

Who the hell pushes a buggy back to the collection area. I ain't got time for that.

this.

I didn't realize people get so butt hurt about it. I don't leave it in a parking spot. I adjust it where it's not blocking any parking spaces but when I'm done unloading my groceries I'm outa there. Screw puttin' it back.

Imagine the OT Lounge list of complaints in different places around the world:

North Korea - not enough food to eat. Secret police just took dad away to prison camp

Liberia - struggling to make ends meet on the farm, still down a man because brother died of Ebola

Louisiana - I hope those goddamn communists who don't put away their grocery carts suffer for eternity in hell.

We're a product of our environment in many cases. When I shop at the local store or a Rouses, I walk the cart all the way back to the store.

When I find myself in the Wal-Mart parking lot, I just aim my cart to the nearest corral or store entrance and give it a good shove.

Pushing carts was a great substitute for leg day in high school

I'm usually an a-hole when it comes to petty things like this, but shopping carts are my one exception. I always put them in the return or back to the front of the store

I'd love to have that set up where you put a coin in to get the cart and you have to bring the cart back to get your coin.

How about your keys.....

I put my cart back in a corral if it's not on the other side of Egypt. I usually have a kid already strapped in his car seat so I'm not about to walk across a parking lot because XYZ store doesn't have adequate cart corrals per number of parking spots. I'm looking at YOU, ALEXANDER'S!
