what the hell is wrong with people?
I ask this as part of my monthly misanthropic moment, usually brought on not by PMS but by the bone-headed, self-absorbed, shallow and otherwise, thoughtless, inconsiderate, lazy-ass behavior of others.
So what is the big problem with returning the grocery cart to the store or to the corral in the parking lot? Why do people unload their groceries, then blithely climb into their cars and motor off, leaving the carts sitting exactly where they left them, or better yet, to drift about the parking lot aimlessly until they are picked up by a nice little breeze that sends them careening into the quarter-panel of my nicely maintained older non-gas-guzzling sedan?
Last night Schmoopie and I came out of Publix with our groceries in our hands, only to find both passenger and driver's doors of the car blocked by carts left by previous lazy asshole shoppers. We, of course, guided them to the cart corral, which took us a whole 30 seconds. But still, why? What the hell is wrong with people? Sometimes I think Ted Kazinsky had the right idea. People suck.

The only people I'm willing to forgive for such thoughtlessness are the elderly. Though why they're driving I have no idea. And while I appreciate in principle the "quarter for rental" carts where you get your quarter back upon returning the cart, it's a royal pain in the tush, especially for those elderly people I'm willing to forgive in the first place, and they really need those quarters back for the slot machines, right?
I agree. That is just SO Wrong.
Oh yea, so with ya. This drives me absolutely nutty, too. I always make sure to return my cart in hopes that others will see me doing it and be shamed into returning theirs also. Wishful thinking.
