Just watched someone walk their cart all the way to the corral at the back of the lot rather than back to the store that was much closer.
They were probably getting some extra exercise. For some people, just increasing light activity is their opening strategy for getting fit.
And they were helping others getting some exercise. A true saint.
They probably weren't thinking about it at all and took the trolley back on auto pilot. Then they turned around and realised thay had walked way too far, cringed internally, and hoped noone noticed. You noticed and you chose to mske fun of them for it. Confirming that those of us riddled with anxiety are correct to feel constant shame about every minor mistake we make. Thanks.
At least they didn't just leave it in the closest empty parking space, like literally everyone around here does. 😡
"They've got people for that."
Hey cut our friend some slack, it's probably PTSD from covid. Gather round, grandpas gonna tell a story..
There was a time you see, when it was not allowed to return your cart at the store as they had to be cleaned, you had to return it at the corral with the other biohazards.
They say that out there in the masses, some are still mentally in lockdown.
It was a sophisticated drug transaction, and that play was intended to distract you.
Success.
Instead of distracting me, they could've made a new customer.
Little did OP know that while they were watching this strange performance unfold, the other guy was sneaking up behind OP and stole their wallet.
That's very funny, but I've actually got my wallet, right.. oh shit
My wife will do this when driving. She will drive the complete opposite direction from where we need to go and if I dare ask "Why are we driving AWAY from x?" she gets mad at me for pointing it out.
I had a school kid who only knew how to get home by following the bus route. Maybe it's like that.
Distance travelled is not the only metric by which you can judge a route. Others include:
It's called job creation!
I can't throw the cart into the corral and see if I can make them stick together inside the store.
I don't remember having an issue with this when I pushed carts, but it was a long time ago and I suspect if I saw someone do this I would have pouted about it.
I did carts for a little while, I wouldn't have cared at all. If one person leaves a cart out, everyone feels like they can. It's crazy how it just instantly becomes acceptable when everyone sees one cart out. But will walk then back when there isn't
As long as they're bringing back their cart, I don't see the issue
Yeah, they probably saw that one and think it's closer. As long as the cart is put back it shouldn't be an issue. If the corral is too far back then whoever design this parking space is at fault.
It isn't so much that they did something "wrong". I don't even really blame the person themself. I find it more frustrating that many of us have grown so used to just leaving our problems for others to take care of, that we automatically walk 40ft to leave something where someone else will have to walk it 60ft, instead of walking the 20ft ourselves.
This person took the cart where they were supposed to instead of leaving it out like too many people do. Let’s bring it down a notch.
Today the shop might be busy, with limited trolley availability, and this might end up being convenient. You’ve had a massive over reaction, and it’s essentially based on someone wasting their time and wearing out their shoes.
Was that corall otherwise empty?
If not, shuddup :-p
