Some years ago a woman on the train was discussing her vaginal yeast infection with someone on the phone. Why would you think that's a good idea?

I agree. Don't understand the big deal about this over over over produced woman. She's made a few danceable numbers, but that's the extent of it in my book.

Upvoted for the 'fight me' comment. No fight. Just bow of respect

Does anyone think otherwise?

Yes, don't be a bum. Don't be lazy. Don't say it's someone else's job. Just do the considerate thing and put the damn cart back.

I had a cart put itself away one time. So, early evening, not many people or cars around. My car was on a slight incline and halfway between each end of the row. I'd finished unloading everything but had already had to chase the cart twice. This time, I let it go, just to see what would happen. It went down to the driving lane, paused for a second then started moving again. It ended going uphill a little and into the corral at the end of the other parking row like it had eyes and was independently powered. There was nothing on it that looked like a motor or anything (I checked afterwards). I tell you, I just stood there and laughed hysterically for a bit.

I judge you HARD if you don't. My opinion doesn't mean anything to anyone, I know, but it says a lot about you as a person if you don't put it in the corral. If you're in a hurry, simply park as close to it as you can.

IN Germany 99% of people are doing..well, you need a coin to use the carts.

Or do what I do, always try to park next to a corral so it's easy

But you shouldn't judge so harshly those who don't. Near handicap parking spots, it might be the handicapped person who can't make it to the cart corral. I look normal but often am in extreme pain and just can't go any further - shopping without the electric cart was as far as I could push myself. Some moms have unloaded kids into the car - should they leave them unattended just to put away a cart? I think it is kinder to be compassionate compared to the "kindness" of putting a cart in a corral.

My SO calls me the buggy police. I need a uniform and a whistle. I am a bit obsessed, though. I will not only gather up abandoned buggy's in the parking lot, but I take great pleasure straightening up the ones in the corral so that more will fit. Burns me to a charcoal when people attempt to return it and then leave them all askew. I also like to return a buggy for an elderly person.

I put someones cart away yesterday that was two parking spaces away from the cart collection. They apparently couldn't take the thirty seconds to walk it down 10 feet

I always aggressively stare at trolly abandoners. And either move it back behind their car so they can’t drive away (if it looks like they wouldn’t immediately beat me up after, and there’s no obvious reason why they abandoned it like mobility or trying to wrestle screaming kids into a car)

I just park them behind the person's car once they get in.

Pure laziness

I found out that those things cost over $1,000 each!

That's why ours have money slots. Humans are generally petty enough and greedy enough, to want that coin back.

I try to bring one in from the car park when I go into the store. That's one less the staff has to bring in.

Before someone, who are busy on his mobile, trips over it.

If you have that big of a problem putting back your shopping cart, then park right next to the cart corral and it won't be a burden at all.

common courtesy

Popular as artificial reefs in local lakes where I live.

A few people have decent excuses. Most people most of the time absolutely do not. What baffles me are the people who make a point of bringing it all the way back to the sidewalk area where the corrals are and then leaves them within a few feet of the place they belong.

I had to maneuver my car around a shopping cart because it was left just a bit to the left of the parking space I was getting into. Thankfully Walmart parking spaces are gigantic, but it was a parking space at the very freaking front of the lot so there was no excuse for it.

The grocery store near me has shopping cart corrals every 5 parking slots. Meaning you never have to push a cart more than about 20ft to put it away. Yet the lot is constantly filled with abandoned carts. While some are left by older people who have a hard time getting around, the VAST majority are left by entitled, lazy people.

This is my #1 pet peeves and easiest way to determine what sort of person you are

Where did the word corral come from in this context I've always wondered? And now I come to think of it, what do we call them in the UK? Defo not corral, I know that much..

Even better: place it in the farthest spot and not merely over the line bc it’s corral territory. The same thing goes for filled garbage cans. Don’t add to the top of a packed bin an hope it doesn’t topple. It’s not a house of cards we’re collectively building. Someone who doesn’t get paid enough has to deal with emptying it.

Yeah!

Not petty.

I have to admit, I'm guilty of this. But only if it's raining or something, I put my child in the car first, then the items purchased. I'm not going to leave my child in the car to walk 100 yards to the nearest corral. I do try to push it off to the side some where, not in another parking spot.

I agree that putting the cart in the corral is the polite thing to do. Having said that, I don't put it back because by the time I make it to my car, I am usually shaking so hard I can barely stand up, getting my rollator into the trunk uses my last drop of energy, and I have to lean against the car to get to/in the front seat. So go ahead and point your privileged fingers at me. That, I can handle.

I do not see the point. Leave it buy the parking space. That way the next person doesn't have to to and get it from the corral.

Corrected it "I will die on this hill over and over until my assembled corpse's make it into a slightly bigger hill."

This is absolutely NOT PETTY! Birds have been found to be picking up cigarette butts & trying to feed them to their young, or using them as nesting material.

How about we stop spitting on cakes in general?

Could've.

Not if you have cats.... 🐈

This is the one that bugs me the most.

THIS. As I’ve gotten older and watched the previous generation start to shuffle off this mortal coil, have beaten the big C in my late 20s and began to lose a few friends too early, I resolved that my time is the most valuable thing in my life. I semi-jokingly tell people that disrespect my or others’ time that I value it at a minimum of $60/hr. Stealing other peoples time is the worst. Not appreciating them when they gift you their time is entitled & inconsiderate.

I’ll never forget this… once I was trying to pass a man and woman with their cart at the end of a very long aisle. They were in the very middle. I couldn’t go around on either side of them. I said, “Excuse me.” No one budged. I thought perhaps they didn’t hear me. I said it again a little louder. The man looked at me and went to move the cart, but the woman grabbed it and said to him, “When I’m done.” That’s when I became “done.” I walked over to their cart, shoving it aside and pointing to the man with her, I said, “He may have to wait until you’re ‘done,’ but I don’t! I’m ‘done’ being polite. Move it!” She stared at me dumbfounded, while he told her, “You deserved that.” She looked at him and said, “Shut up.” And I continued shopping.

or smacking your mouth when eating ..makes me want to physically throttle someone .....

I walked away from a job because my arrogant supervisor would never leave me alone. Calling and texting all hours..never got time away from the job.

Just like the elevator!

I will refuse to move and will be the one who walks right into the middle of the flock .

Got a terrible migraine tonight, took a lot of medication so the headache was gone in the morning. I still felt like throwing up, but I did not want to stay home. In the hallway at work a woman walked in front of me who absolutely REEKED of sone terribly sweet perfume. That did not help with my already upset stomach...

In Sweden there is a fine if you hug the left lane. Only problem iis that there is no one to enforce trafic laws.

I had my debit card declined at a gas station on a pay day, when my check was auto-deposited. Bank of America was right next door, so I popped inside. The teller very loudly berated me, saying my account had a hold put on it because I’d been “depositing” checks I’d written… immediately taking cash out of my account, knowing the checks were no good. The bank was giving me the cash, assuming the checks would clear. And I’d amassed more than $4000 this way. And the bank was going to press charges. By then, every customer in the lobby was staring at me, like I was scum of the Earth. Thoroughly embarrassed, I told the clerk to check again. Check MY account again. To look for those supposed deposit/withdrawals. Her face said it all. And in a low voice, that no one else could hear, she said, “I’m sorry. There’s obviously a mistake.” Loudly, I repeated, “YOU SAY YOU’RE MISTAKEN? IT’S NOT ME DOING THESE THINGS?” I withdrew all my money. Closed my account. And will not do business with them.

I hate this behavior. And what's up with walking around with the phone on speaker having a conversation? NO ONE cares what you are saying. Just put the phone to your ear like a normal civilized person.

I used piqued once in a conversation with a co-worker. Mind you, she had a college degree & I don't, but the woman had no idea what that word means! I had to rephrase my remark to "it caught my interest" before she understood.
