People who put their shopping carts away.
I am a firm believer in the Shopping Cart Theory.
What theory?
It's basically a shorthand way to see if someone is good. Not returning a cart is no illegal nor a big inconvenience. Returning the cart brings no reward but is the right thing to do. In the absence of reward or societal pressure to return a carr, only the truly good will.

I wouldn't call that doing good. That's the bare minimum for participating in society; those who don't are actually evil.

Yes they are.

Strictly speaking, not putting it away means you value yourself above others. You're taking your own convenience over other people's inconvenience. It's a very minor act, but could fit the definition still.
