Talk me down, I may have caused someone to lose their job



Yesterday at Pet Club after unloading the stuff I bought I rolled the cart back into the store, back into the line of carts I originally took it from.

Isn't that someone's job?

3. Think of it this way....
Maybe you prevented someone's car from being a cart-target.


If a car is dinged up by a shopping cart, it could need body shop work!

so don't worry about it. Someone has to collect the carts anyway.

But if you used auto-checkout at the register, you should be swallowed by a python, summarily.

19. A story about a 77 year old woman and a 65 year old man in a fight over a parking spot

"Harold Koller sat on his porch Tuesday afternoon. His chest and arms still ached; his hands were covered in cuts and nicks where he had clenched the windshield wipers.

"I had a hell of a job holding on," said Koller, 65.

"I knew if I fell off the car I was going to get hurt real bad."

It started over a parking space."
