quotes from: KathrynAragon
"I promise not to be mad when I see a cart sitting adjacent to a handicapped spot"
"Maybe the morally handicapped or those suffering from chronic laziness or selfishness..." "You're wrong. I'm right!"
"did a bang up job of telling off people"
Some folks needs a chill pill ! (and I have gotten over -10 reps wow)-- there is something else making people mad around here and it is not carts, thats just the by product of a deeper anger. this is the psychology forum right?

I think they just get mad for everything that doesn't meet their expectations. It's some kind of victim mentality combined with some unrealistic need of social justice.
Get over it people, the world will never be fair. The sooner you understand that, the faster your anger will go away. Life is too short to be wasting it trying to meet unrealistic expectations.

LOL I'm not wasting away my life. I somehow find it possible to live my values fully and enjoy life simultaneously.
I am not expecting the world to be fair. That doesn't mean I have to suck it up and take it up the ____ when other people act like self centered idiots.

What is it that your doing to not to "suck it ip and take it up the........" Complain in an internet forum? IMO That's venting, not doing something about it. How does that change your situation? Are you finding less stray carts in your local supermarket?
I think it is sad that so many people are so willing to excuse bad behavior.
It's become epidemic in our society.....everyone has an excuse for not doing the right thing......people expect it and don't even give it a second thought.

I'll tell you what I'm doing -I'm returning my own cart to the corral and teaching my own kids to do the same - and guess what - I'm old enough now to watch them teaching THEIR kids to do the same as well. In it's own small way, that's very gratifying. I can't change the world, but I can lead by example.
I saw something today that made me glad and renewed my faith in young people. A young man, wearing kinda 'baggy' pants and a hoodie took his stuff to his vehicle and THEN he walked the basket all the way back, across the drive and actually put it with all the others ready to go into the store. He wasn't parked all that close either. I gave him a mental high five!
Cool story. I've also recently seen that happen a few times... a few very elderly women returning carts, as well as young girls with dreds & tats & then there's me.
Encinitas has some strange parking lots with many small parking spaces, virtually impossible to pull out of easily & some have very few cart return areas, which also only allow for a few carts' storage. They're hard to find, as well, over the giant SUVs people seem to predominately drive here. Strangely, those are the lots where people tend to go through the bother of returning them all the way back inside or just outside the stores. I've timed it & I've had to walk over 1.5-min to reach the store with my cart & I'm tall & a quick walker.
OTOH, when at Von's yesterday, it was packed with people & there are cart returns all over the bloody lot (the most I've ever seen, actually), which also offers generous parking spaces, in size & amount. So few returned them, even if they were adjacent to or right behind their vehicles. Honestly, there are so many, one need not walk more than 15 steps to any cart return. I sat in my car for 5-min to take a phone call & must say, in the 60+ people who walked past me, I don't think 1 returned a cart... men, women, younger or older. There were 2 rather weary looking lads (from what I could see) collecting them at breakneck speed, but they just couldn't keep up with all the abandoned carts.
I've been to drive-up bank tellers before with friends, who've placed a coffee thermos contraption into a tube & it's sucked into the bank. (I like to see the tellers. That's too George Jetson for me. You kids with your newfangled toys...) Maybe they should install giant tubes down every other lane so we can place our cart on it & it gets sucked back into the store.
Or, maybe they can start making these for easier return:
Get over it people, the world will never be fair. The sooner you understand that, the faster your anger will go away. Life is too short to be wasting it trying to meet unrealistic expectations.
But, what if you came out of Hot Topic at the mall & found your car like this:
Now, how are you going to explain to your boss that you were late returning from lunch?
Darned cart jesters...
