I think it's perfectly fine to call people's hands on bad behavior, on an online discussion forum.

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 it's more convenient and you see those grocery workers walking around, putting them all together, you figure, it's what they do... to make it more convenient for us. Great!

The question is: why does it bother you so much? Is it because they are always in your way as you are trying to park your car?

Or is it because you feel that the grocery workers shouldn't need to work so hard, collecting those carts?

But it may be actually fun for them to have that opportunity to walk around outside instead of standing by the cash register all day...

Why? Why?

Because I have had my car dinged and dented. It isn't fun or cheap. Why should I be out money because others are LAZY?

And you might have still had your car dinged or dented from another source,,, sorry to hear you had damage,, but things happen every day.- part of life,,, get over it.- My son had a huge dent- they hit my sons bike- totalled it, and my son is no longer on this earth. I could have stayed angry, and been angry at the -man- told the judge,, He is forgiven. sure it was not his intention... and we move on. There are still more bumps on the road to still deal with...thats is the point/

Just put your damn carts up and quit making excuses about not doing it. It's just not that hard.

Not likely when the cart was against the dent on the door and fit the dent perfectly.
