i have this ridiculous pet peeve (but aren't they all ridiculous?) about people leaving their shopping carts in the parking lot. what is so hard about wheeling your cart back to the corral before getting into your own car and leaving? hey, we're all busy. it only takes maybe 30 seconds to bring it back. if you're capable of wheeling it out of the store to your car, you're certainly capable to wheel it 20 feet further. this seriously bugs me to no end. so much so that there have been a few times when i've wheeled other people's deserted carts back for them.
last week, i was turning into a parking space when i saw a woman ditching her cart in the space i was pulling into. there was a curb there and it was too difficult to move the cart over the curb onto the sidewalk, so she just let it sit there and then watched me get out of my car to remove the offending cart so that i could pull in. who does that? and there was already another cart that had been discarded there, so again, this lady watched me wrestle with 2 carts without offering to help.. you know, even though she'd probably left both of them there in the first place? seriously, where has common courtesy gone?
okay, i can't say that about everyone... today in the cosmetics aisle of the store, a tube of makeup rolled past me on the floor. a man was following it saying, "someone's going to trip on that." he picked it up and put it back on the shelf. so i can't say that all people are lacking in decency and respect. but really, put your darn carts back people.
