Nothing aggravates me more than people who leave their shopping carts out in the parking lot, simply because.....they are LAZY! It happens all of the time. We really wonder why other countries hate us? It has nothing to do with our political beliefs, our desire to have worldwide democracy....it is because people in Mosul want a shopping cart so bad, yet us Americans simply do not VALUE our carts enough to send them home. OK, maybe not THAT, but still, it PISSES ME OFF!

This morning, I dropped my wife off at Albertson's at 7AM to run in and get diapers. I pulled around and parked in a stall next to a cart drop place. You know those places. There are other carts there and there is usually a big sign that says "PLEASE USE SOME DAMN COURTESY AND DROP YOUR CARTS OFF HERE YOU LAZY SHITS!" Huge giveaway. Oh no. That makes too much sense. I saw a lady rushing out of the store with a shopping cart, filled to the brim with mostly AIR and ONE plastic bag, filled no doubt with vinegar/water douche. Holy shit. I could see the strain in her face when she was pushing such a load through the parking lot. God bless her.

Upon further investigation, I noticed that she did, in fact, have both arms and they were not prosthetics. No hooks, just hands. The kind that can easily grasp a couple of plastic bag handles, therefore leaving the CART in the store! Nope, again, this made too much sense. What does she do? She grabs the bag, unlocks her door, pushes the cart just in front of and to the left of her car, gets in, starts her car and drives away. The return cart bin was 10 feet away! She parked next to the damn thing. Let me tell you something else. There were no cars in between her and the bin as Albertson's is bare at 7AM. She was way too busy to be bothered to return her cart to it's proper place. I looked up lazy in the dictionary. It had no words, just a picture of this dumb bitch leaving her cart next to her car. I thought it was rather fitting.

It gets worse when going to WalMart. Which is sad, since elderly employees have to go through the parking lot and collect freezing cold, metal carts. Nothing like making your 401K work for you. Not only do the handicapped have it MADE at WalMart (they have 100 spaces to every 1 regular parking stall), they also are the largest employee base that WalMart has. I thought Title IX was restrictive. It's almost like Sam Walton's dying wish was to employ only those either needing adult diapers or missing a chromosome. I sort of got off track there, but I had to make a point that I get scared when I walk through the doors, mindless zombies pushing carts at me before I even get into the store.

DO YOU NEED A CART! HELLO! DO YOU NEED A CART!

No...thank you

WOULD YOU LIKE A STICKER FOR YOUR CHILD!?!?!?!?!?!

Child? I am by myself

DO YOU WANT A RETURN STICKER FOR YOUR PANTS???!?!

What?

ARE YOU RETURNING YOUR PANTS??!?!?!

No....I am wearing them

YOU NEED THIS TO RETURN YOUR PANTS!!!!




It happens far too often. Not the punching but the harassment going into that place. The commercials are bullshit. "We love working at WalMart," says the 80-year old man. Yeah, well, it must not be corporate policy to screen for abnormal behavior because I have never seen a smiling old man working there. It is more like a drooling shell of a human being standing in a puddle of urine.

Just rambling....have a good day! =)
