Default Don't you Guys HATE IT....

when some dip stick just puts their shopping carts barely on the curb so close to cars??? I'm exactly like everyone here... I look first for the corner spot and try to park as close to the curb as possible or else I try to park far away. I've come out of the store a so many times yelling inside how lazy people are to just leave their shopping carts right next to my CAR not even on the curb. I waited one time for my wife and stayed in the car and saw this other IS here in my town park only to see some person literally throw their cart at the curb and almost hit the IS. I was about to get out and tell him off!!! IDIOTS!!

That's why I keep my dipstick in my engine bay at all times. I don't trust them with human activities.

I was at Lowes and came out to find a shopping cart sitting against my drivers side fender. I cant tell how mad I was, luckily it didnt do any damage. People just dont care about anything. I always look for the cart holder and if there isnt one it goes up on the curb so it wont roll away. Thats just common courtesy. Thats also why I park about 15 spaces from the nearest car

If i'm waiting at my car for someone and someone else walks up to theirs right next to mine, i stare them down the entire time. They usually get the point and don't open their doors to wide, and put their cart away in the right spot.

I backed into one and my trunk has dent down from handlebar. The cart was right against the curb when I backed into it at Safeway.

I guess the top of the trunk lid next to the Lexus sign is not place you want dinged the dealer says they cant pop it out and if I really wanted it fix they would have to order a new trunk lid.

I put a US magnet flag over it so its gone now.

Last time I see an older guy pushing a cart towards his car, loaded the grocery into the trunk, and he saw this nice brand new S550 parked nearby, and he purposely pushed the cart to the Benz and "Ban!" a big dent on the back bumper of it! I was like "OMG!! people are so jealous...
