I've never been able to wrap my head around this. You go out to a grocery store, etc. and inevitably you will find shopping carts in the grass at the edge of the lots, on curbs, even in the middle parking spots. Yet, there are always "cart corrals" (or whatever you call them) that are nearby. It only takes a minimal effort to put the cart away properly once you have loaded your vehicle.
So what makes people feel that they are entitled to leave their cart where ever they please? That it is beneath them to take 10 seconds and put it away properly?
I've noticed that the biggest offenders seem to be Wal-Mart shoppers. I can't help but notice that, on average, there are many more carts abandoned throughout the parking lot at Wal-Marts than any other stores. So maybe it has something to do with poor people don't respect themselves, so therefore they don't respect others?
But does anyone here do this? Leave the carts in the middle of a parking spot when a corral is just a few feet away? Can you please let me know what goes through your mind so that I can understand how you came to be such an awful person?
Because people in certain parts of society are taught that self-entitlement is okay.
Especially with "reality tv show" mentalities walking around acting like Reality Tv show = Real World.
We do not a dog-eat-dog world like what's depicted on TV.
We live in the age of Narcissism in the U.S. is my only explanation. And, people think it's okay to be selfish a-holes.
I went to the local shopping cart store this weekend and when no one was looking, removed a half-dozen of the carts from the coral and redistributed them around the parking lot. ANARCHISTS UNITE!!!

I can't speak for anyone else, but personally I would like this thread to stop appearing at the top of my list of "Participated Threads" on my phone and no one responded to the question I posed in Post #386 in this thread. You can read Post #386 by clicking here.

I feel great all the time, and I laugh often and with wild abandon. If you could bottle how great it feels to be me, you could make a fortune!
I just don't happen to find shopping carts bumped up against the side of my car or blocking parking spaces particularly funny. Of course, humor is subjective, so maybe you find it absolutely hilarious when it happens to you!

If you laugh when you return to a parking lot and find a couple hundred dollars worth of damage done to your car, I suggest you visit a therapist.
