ch19079 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 i was comming out of a walmart walking to my car. the guy parked next to me was unloading his bags in to his car. (i could see him from a distance as i walked up) then when he finished, insted of taking the cart to the "cart holder" whatever you call those things in the parking lot that people take there carts to when they are done using them..... this son of a B word puts the cart RIGHT BEHIND MY CAR. not next to my car, or near by, but right behind it. almost toughing my bumper.. so i walk up to my car and see the 3 people in the car about to leave (1 guy 2 girls, in a beat down car) and i have 2 options.. option A: move the cart to right behind there car. (thus causing confuntation ) option B: move the car behind the car on the other side of me... i pussied out. but now ill be pissed off all day.

Fezmid Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 There was an option C: Be the better man and move the cart to the cart holder. Me, I probably would've done A... CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I would have opted for the confrontation. Not putting the cart back where it belongs is a pet peeve of mine. I always return the carts even if the area is on the other side of the lot. The fact that this guy put it directly behind your car would have really set me off.

I'll be damned if I'm going to do it 30 years later cause some store is trying to save $$$ by cutting cart pushers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopsGuy Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Go with Fez's option C. You can't change people and all you'll end up doing is getting yourself upset about the carelessness of others. Simply take the cart back to corral (?), and know in your soul that you're a better person for it. That's exactly what I did once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTS Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Personally, I would have pulled that bastard from his car and beat his ass down using the cart. After I had him lying on the ground, I'd put the cart on top of him and say "how do you like it now." Maybe that's not the best option, but I think the point would have been made. Hold on ... I gotta get my Prozac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People do stuff like this because they know that people will wuss out and never call them on it. They will continue to do stuff like this until someone stands up.

Larry Playfair Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 tough call. id have been furious, but who wants to get in a fight over a cart? id probably say something though. the other day i was walking in a bar, and the guy ahead of me threw his cigarette behind him w/o looking, hit me in the leg. i was screaming at the guy and everyone in the bar looked at me like i was crazy. i wanted to kill him.
