Shopping cart rant

[hollohas]

Seen that a lot in parking garages. They do it on purpose for sure. Ridiculous the guy tells you that you can't park when he is WAY over the line. And obviously you can park if you can fit your car in such a tight spot!!! The garage owners should make them pay for two spots when they do that.

Yup major rant on this topic-just the other day I was sitting in the truck at King Soopers and a lady beside me opens her door right into the side of my truck. She looks right at me and just walks away,not even an oops or sorry. I actually just sat there for a few minutes to cool down otherwise this could have gotten real shitty real fast.

something like that happened to me at a Wal-mart in NC.
I don't know about here, but there you can swear out complaints such as destruction of private property.

Fat bitch get out of her car and slams my truck not once, but twice.
I Simply got out of the truck and said "I Hope you have insurance."
To which I was met with "Get yo goddamned white ass out ma face!."

She came out with a cart full of Groceries and was met with the NC State police (Jurisdictional thing)
Not only did I Get her insurance information but she violated rule 1 when confronted with a cop.
Her cart full of Groceries and her broken ass car were both sitting there as her took her to jail for assaulting an officer, Damaging private property and leaving the scene of an accident.


You haven't seen anything until you've seen a 400# Fat-ass throwing Pork rinds and diet soda at a cop while trying to run away pushing a grocery cart.

In hindsight it's funny.

My turn; I took my wife's Nissan Murano to the SAR show in AZ,then Santa Barbara,and back thru Vegas with the VERY explicite promise that nothing would happen to it. No door ding, rock chip, fingerprint. So While I was at my cousins house in Prescott, (the second day into my trip), he decides to have a FTD (FuckTardDischarge) with his AR and send a round of Lake City Green Tip thru two walls of his house and into the pass. door of my wife's ride, that was parked on the street. Looked EXACTLY like those bullet hole stickers. Cost him 750$.

I had a lady door my car a couple of weeks ago. What the hell is wrong with people? She didn't know I was in the car, when I got out, she was a little scared. I just asked her to pay attention a little more. I also told her it is sad that I have to tell my 7 year old the same damn thing and that she should think about that a little. Luckily, I have grey body armor on my volvo xc and nothing happened to it. Friggen careless people though...

Is that your car, Ridge? Or a copy/paste from somewhere else? If it's yours, how the hell did you get out of it?

Way too damn many people believe their vehicle is only a tool to be used and abused. A lot of people believe they are traded off every couple years so why worry about it. Back in about 1962, I had a brand new shiny VW bug. Parked in a lot that can accommodate about 3 or 4,000 vehicles. I was one of the first to park in that lot one fine Monday morning. Some shit head parked right next to me and opened his door right into mine knocking a nice dent into my passenger door. Waited until he was out of sight and I then smacked his drivers side door with my heel. No black mark but did leave a huge dent in his door. Of course I promptly moved to another location in that lot. I always park in the far end of the parking lots just to avoid having carts banging into my vehicles and those fat assess neglecting to watch where their doors are swinging. Last week, I watched a nice NEW shiny red Hummer pull into the WalMart parking lot. The passenger opened her door quickly and really smacked the door into the cart corral. Neither driver or passenger paid any attention to the dent in their door. Another thing that really pisses me off is the folks that buy their Walmart goods only to remove them from the plastic bag and place their groceries loose in their vehicle trunk. Then they let their empty plastic bag go floating in the wind only to get into someone elses property. Too many people have no regard for the shitty things they are doing. There, now I feel better!!

OP: Sorry to hear about the dent. Maybe the wind pushed one into the vehicle and the cart guy had picked it up by the time you arrived back to said vehicle?

A few months ago a girl was getting into her car, the wind came up and ripped her door out of her hand, slamming into mine. Pretty major damage, thankfully she left a note and was insured. +1

Ok, so I'm one of those people that will leave the cart where I used it. Reason 1: I have kids. I'm not leaving my kids alone in the car while I have to walk 100 feet or more to park the dang cart in its proper space. (Not anymore, they are big enough now to not worry about this) Reason 2: Example is wally world. I don't think there are more than a couple cart corrals in the whole lot. The few corrals there are, are stuffed full of other carts and there isn't anywhere to put them safely.

At the WalMart I go to, there are at least 2 in every 150ft of parking row, on ever aisle...

The cart was still resting against my truck when I got back and I saw it as I was walking up. I'm sure most of the parking lot heard me cursing as I walked up to my truck. Not much wind but either way that's why people should put their cart back. If you leave it out and the wind catches it, still your fault. Not the wind's fault.

I understand accidents and I also understand when someone has the decency to leave a note or say sorry. In that case, no big, accidents happen. The words, "I'm sorry" go a long way in my book.

I have a kid and she rides in the cart as I drop it off at the corral. If the cart corral is full, bring the darn thing back to the front of the store. And I'm not jumping on your case, but you say it's not safe to leave it at full cart corral so you choose to leave it in the middle of the lot? How is that better?

Hope your insurance covered the repairs to your car. My damage is not bad enough to pursue. It just made me think about how careless people are these days.
