Today's Pet Peeve 2 July 09 (free, house, to buy, actors)

Faulty shopping carts. First, it is stuck in the line and doesn't want to come loose from the one in front. Then, after finally getting it free, it has a dead wheel so it is hard to push or one wheel squeaks or keeps getting hung up.

that darned dreaded shopping / grocery cart.....I mean like please where is that person who's responsible for test driving these things....
Then you have to wonder did that last person before you who wrecked it get hurt?

Sometimes just the simplest things get so complicated.....

if there is a faulty shopping cart......I'm bound to get it.

My biggest pet peeve are people who do not return the shopping cart to the station. God I curse them. Lazy lazy people make me so mad.

This is not a problem for me. Being a guy I do not have the shopping skills needed to buy more than only what I need for my next meal. Thus the hand baskets work for me. At any given time I only have about 15 minutes worth of food in the house.

It never fails. I always end up picking out the shopping cart with issues!

Can I add one shopping cart peeve? People who leave their garbage in the cart and put it away so that when I finally do free it from the line, it's filled with plastic bags, gun wrappers, circulars and other crap!

Gun wrappers? Hey, that would be my favorite store!

I think we call that store Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's!

I don't use shopping carts that often, I use those plastic carry baskets.. I guess that's a good way to get a work-out while shopping.

My pet peeve about shopping carts is people leaving them in parking spots, and there's always a cart corral less than 50 feet away. There's always a chance of the wind, or other factors, pushing those carts into the fenders of parked vehicles..

Yes, it's awful what people leave in the carts (diapers also)!!
I seem to always get one that has big time issues!
Especially one with a square wheel...and there is no more carts to get another one!! I turn into the Taz immediately.....

Try putting a 40-pound bag of dry dog food in one of those little carry baskets.
