Wanted to know what y'all do as many of my neighbors can't be bothered to return their shopping carts...

I put em in the little corrals!

I take them to the cart corrals as well. My first job was at a grocery store and I'd often bring in carts off the lot near closing time - always pissed me off to find carts strewn across the entire lot, even in the lots of other stores.

FYI: just wondering, the local community forums had less than 20% of people returning carts at all, wanted to see what the VV average was

so far you are waaaay above and beyond these fucking assholes

edit Drinsic: I "shagged the lot" as my first job too, this was before the days of cart corrals and it always brightened my day to see a customer bring their cart back to the store..

to be follwed by a turn signal poll~ nobody here can be bothered to use those either

I put them in the corrals if there is a corral in my parking aisle. I am not taking the chart six aisles over.

i usually leave the cart in the store and carry everything by hand.

if i use a cart, i bring it into the store.

I actually only use a shopping cart about once a year, but I do try to make sure I return it to the store.

I also had roundup duty as my first job.

We actually had a few regulars (customers) who would grab 3 or 4 carts and bring them in every now and again. These people were like... 80 years old.

The 80 year olds returned 3 or 4 and the 30 year olds couldn't be bothered to even put them in the corral.

Weird.

I cant stand it when people leave their cart in the middle of a parking spot. Its inconsiderate.

I leave the cart where i park if there are no corrals, but I never leave the cart in the way

If you don't return your carts, you're just asking for your car to get scratched up.

I usually park like 30 feet from the market, so I don't return them. I just park them so they dont roll and are out of the way.

Assholes who don't return their cart, burn me up. I often end up returning a few extra carts that some assholes left in and amongst the cars, just because I don't want to see peoples cars getting hit.

As a former lot attendant (I was 18 at the time) for a very fucking busy Home Depot, I'm going to suggest that occasionally leaving your cart in random locations is better because it creates jobs.

That said, I either carry my gear and leave the cart at the store like Spang said, or I try to take the cart back/put it in the corall.

Yeah that's pretty fuckin lame...

If I see someone leave thier cart in a parking spot, I follow them home, kill them, and then eat thier pets.

Oh come on now...the pets probably think they're as much of an asshole as you do. No need to blame the dog...

My reply as well. If there's one close, I'll take it to it. If there's not, it goes up on the dirt island or between cars.

Although there should be another poll for whether you insure the cart isn't going to move and roll into someone's fucking car before you walk away from it.

People not taking back their carts pisses me off about as much as the punks that park in the designated spots for "mothers expecting."

I use the cart for all of my personal belongings. It is easier when travelling from intersection to offramp to mall entrance, where I can sing for people and accept donations. God Bless!

There wasn't a choice for, I use the little cart thingy in the parking lot 90% of the time but sometime but it in front of my car if it's raining, there is enough space and I have both kids with me. Although I sometimes feel bad I allow myself to realize that by leaving that kart there I just might be getting some HS kid another 15 min of work so he could pay for his WoW subscription next month j/k...

In college we'd take them home and have races. Now that I am all grown up and "mature" I put them back in the corall. However, I tend to launch them across the parking lot to see if they make it in. If they don't I put them in. My wife just shakes her head.

I put mine back in the corral.

What pisses me off is the fucking (usually illegals) people who push the shopping carts like 3 miles home and then leave them on the sidewalk or in front of their houses/apartments.

Those people need to be fucking shot.

I was at the grocery store one time a couple of months ago, and we were loading groceries into the car. This particular store does not have corrals, and we parked quite a distance away. If the store isn't going to provide corrals, I don't return them unless I park close.

So, we're parked next to this white Jaguar. I very carefully placed the cart to ensure that it wouldn't roll anywhere.. the parking lot is pretty flat.

As I'm turning around to get into the car, the jaguar owner and his female comrade walk up and ask if I need help with that. Thinking perhaps they just wanted the cart to take into the store to do their shopping, I say 'Sure!' and push the cart to them. The woman lets out a sigh so dramatic she should have won an Oscar for it, and the man just shakes his head sadly as she pushes it away towards the store and he gets into the car.

I wish I was more of an asshole, I would have fucking called him a douchebag right there to his face. If he didn't want the cart near his precious car, he could have asked me to move it and I would have been happy to. But instead, he had to be a dickhead so his girl got to push the cart back for me. If I ever see that car at the store again I'm going to get every cart in the parking lot and set them gently against his ugly car, just so he thinks it got plowed into by a bunch of carts.

Dickhead.

I used to work at a costco where I was on cart duty. I used to get the long stacks of like 60 carts and push them in. One time, I accidentally let one go as we were moving it and it careened into a Ford Explorer. It was so rad because it left this HUGE dent and this rad scratch. Every day after that we'd try to hit atleast one car with a long line, just to see how much damage was done. The one car that had no damage done was a Honda Civic, suprisingly. Yes - I am an asshole. Yes - I don't give a shit.

It's true. You are.

it the same thing in a fast food resturant. i was eating at Cabo Grill (yumm) the other day and saw this stuck up bitch leave all her food and trash there on the table when she was finished. how fucking hard is it to get up and throw your trash in the garbage on your way out the door!?

I see that at Taco Cabana all the time too.

First of all, whoever decided there needs to be designated parking spots for expecting mothers should be shot.. I think the generations of mothers before this ridiculous idea did just fine. I also think there are far too many handycap spots, and that doctors are too quick to hand out handycap parking privileges to people because they are disgusting, fat, worthless pieces of life. I swear at least 50% of people I see parking in handycap spots have nothing wrong with them besides being fat, and as far as I am concerned, they need to walk from a far spot more than anyone else..

On the topic of the carts, I return mine. Just the other night I was parked in my car in the lot at cub waiting for a friend, and someone just let theirs sit. After a few seconds I hear a thump, which was the cart hitting my car. I went over to the guy, who hadn't pulled away yet, opened his car door, pulled him out, spit in his face, and screamed at him for about 5 minutes. My car was not scratched, otherwise it's likely I would have caved his skull in right then and there. Leaving them sit around to scratch up peoples cars is so fucking rude and out of line that I just do not have it in me to control myself when this type of thing happens.

I could be wrong and you could be upset over the "expecting mothers" spots for other reasons. However it seems like you're saying that they shouldn't get a saved spot since it could possibly take up one of yours. Yet you are bitching about people that get handicap parking signs for just being fat, disgusting, and worthless pieces of life. Is that a contradiction sir ?

some places in europe, they make you put a euro coin inside to activate the cart, you dont get the euro back until you put the cart in the right spot...

You know, between this and your driving habits, it's only a matter of time before your ass ends up in jail. You clearly have some serious anger management issues. Lemme guess- you smack your girlfriend around a little when "the bitch acts up", don't you?

Actually DR. , I have never raised my hand to a woman in my life and never would. But, I have a low tolerance for stupid shit like this, and I find that my approach to things is more effective then someone like you, who would probably just take it like a bitch and drive away, or ask them politely not to do it again.

You more than likely would have been beaten severely or pistol whipped til you had no teeth left if you had spit in my face in a parking lot. It takes a REAL genius to run up to someone's car and spit in their face. That is just asking for an asskicking. What would you have done if that had been a postal worker with no regard for human life or someone with a gun or a knife? Oh I know, you would have been not only shot but probably shot or stabbed repeatedly before dying. Or, on the less graphic/dramatic and more realistic side what probably really happened was that you ran up to his car, spit on his window. He stopped, got out of the car. You realized that your show of false bravado was not only stupid but life threatening then concluded your intellectually brilliant line of thought by pissing yourself in fear as he approached you. Feeling sorry for an obviously retarded man who's guardian obviously let him out of their sight for a minute, he turned and got back into his car while you applauded yourself for your clever urine soaked ruse. Congrats, you win at life.
This ladies and gentlemen is why people should really be licensed before breeding. Only you can keep the gene pool pollution.

Just about as hard as it apparently is for the people that go into the restroom, piss and then don't flush (and usually don't wash). Or even more assinine.. the people that go in, flush, piss, then leave. Hello, are you that fucking dyslexic?

As for the spitting thing, the last and only person that tried to do that with my car did find himself and his punk ass friend on the bad end of a 45 that I keep in my car. Rule of thumb, don't fuck with people in cars these days. It's not worth it. That and don't get caught pointing a gun at someone.. 5-10-20-Life or whatever the law is.

I couldn't agree more.

Now I am positive you are a total retard. First things first, I have my conceal carry permit, and if I thought for a second that he was intent on shooting me, I can assure you I would do everything in my power to pull first. I also keep several knives in my car at all times, generally one on me, even in clubs, because of people like you. If this guy or anyone else in this situation really thought they were in the right after what they did and wanted to come at me, I would gladly ruin their life by any means necessary, even if it landed me in jail in the process.

So in otherwords what you are saying is you are an Armed and Dangerous Idiot.
Perfect, I didn't even have to flame you, you managed to insult yourself in your own post. Congrats, im sure Darwin would be proud.
Now in your imaginary world of being a "bad ass" which generally I guess would result in someone looking at you and you getting all "huffy" and pulling you "gat" to bust a cap. Cause i'm totally sure your bad self would make many a non-cart returner quake in their boots. Now its obvious your maturity is outweighted only by your intellect which im sure is far surpassed by your shoe size. For this accomplishment I commend you. I feel you are ready to go out into society as a fully functioning member of the retarded community. Don't forget your special hockey helmet so you don't have your brains spill out when you are done ramming your head against the wall after the Wiggles are over. My only hope is that you do in fact pull this stunt again, so that next time the guy who im sure you will single out because he is your physical inferior because you are more than likely a pathetic bullying sack of shit as well as an idiot, manages to blow a hole in you big enough to stick his hand through and wave to your "Ho" (which im sure is also your sister - go go keeping it in the family!) before your lifeless yet completley BAD ASS corpse falls to the ground.

I place them Gently and carefully into the Handicap parking space.

You know, about the expecting mother parking spaces...

I'm not sure how I feel about that...You see I guess it's well intentioned, but if an expecting mother is really expecting enough to merit a close to the store parking space, she should be at home waiting for her contraction...right? Feel free to bash me around about this, just thinking out loud here...

Also as far as I hear, more walking is usually good for pregnant women as it helps them with many problems...

Dude, you dissed the Wiggles.

it is a well documented fact that not only are the Wiggles agents of Satan but also from Australia.
Deviants obviously.

They're obviously gay...I mean just look at em they're dressed in colors that match the rainbow pride symbol. Not only that but they hang around with a guy who brandishes a large pink feather...

they may be queer but they are also filthy stinking rich.
I know they are touring portland this month and its been sold out and people are scalping tickets for hundreds of bucks.
The Age of the Apocalypse is upon us.

wow, you sure are good at using words to construe things to sound the way you want them to, I'll give you that much. I was, at the start of things by no means trying to be a bad ass. I am an extremely nice person, but I do not take shit from anyone, half my size or twice my size. I choose to not be a passive pussy about things because contrary to what you think, that gets you no where in life.

Someone dented my 30 thousand dollar car with their shopping cart because they were lazy, and I handled the situation accordingly. I see no reason why I should have been calm or treated them with respect in that situation. If you honestly think that, you are a complete and total push over pussy, and YOU will most likely end up being the one that gets yours in the end, and I only hope that when it does happen, one of your friends on these boards posts about it so I can find out where the service is and come to piss all over your headstone,
have a nice day.

Yeah cause spitting in someone's face is the totally non-pussy way to handle a situation. You're right, you're the totall bad ass and in the right. How could I ever have thought to attempt to contradict your line of reasoning as being the complete and utter true path for handling a situation like that.

We should all take a page out of Funkmasterr's book methinks.

The more Funkmasterr posts the more obvious it is how socially inept he really is. First there was the driving thing... Now this. It's all about you isn't it!

My car was not scratched, otherwise it's likely I would have caved his skull in right then and there.

Yes cause had his 30,000.00 car had indeed been scratched HE WOULD HAVE CAVED IN HIS FUCKING SKULL!

Definately take a page, hell take a few pages out of his book.


You can learn a lot from a dummy.

First off, I just read over my post, and was going to edit it before I scrolled down and saw what you two folks wrote.
What was supposed to be typed, is "my car was not scratched bad"

Let me give you two sheltered children a lesson in something I'll call streets 101.
Spitting on said pussy was to instigate him to hit me, then putting me in the right to "defend myself".

Aslanna, you may as well just keep my name out of your mouth, because its obvious you are from a total different social setting then myself. The way I drive is the norm for many many people I know and people I don't know, its not that I am some stupid anomole(spelling?).

Second of all, I am a confrontational person, you are obviously not. I could care less about what you think in that respect, and in case you were wondering, my beliefs I just expressed here by no means make it "all about me" you fucking dimwit.

So you tried to get him to hit you so you could shoot him?

Ever think of writting down his license plate and calling the cops?

No Lynks that would be beyond his keen of understanding.
