Shopping carts. Please don’t consider this a rant. It is a lamentation.

Why oh why is it so hard for people to put shopping carts where they belong after use or at least not put them where they don’t belong?

Three times in the last week I have pulled into a handicap parking space only to see a cart left right in the middle of the space – a handicap space‼️   Of course, in addition, numerous carts are left in regular spaces, alongside cars and in some cases at the end of a parking lot nowhere near the store they came from. 

My theory is these lazy, inconsiderate dolts are the same people who live paycheck to paycheck, carry credit card balances, fail to save for their future and who will not be helped by a budget.

It’s a theory mind you, but it seems to me that inconsiderate, irresponsible behavior is rarely limited to one element of a personality. 

I bet they don’t carry life insurance either and their shopping cart is filled with junk food. They probably drive one of those Bentley SUVs, but would not leave their cart near it. 

I had a cousin who made a very good living selling shopping carts. I bet he would have liked to have seen them all sent flying off an embankment. 

Gadzooks, my theory may have reached its limit.😎

  1. I think you’re right on that point, but add to that the super privileged individual driving the Mercedes or BMW who think they are above exerting the labor of returning the cart to a proper parking place. I’ve seen both.
