I return my cart and return those I see around that may roll and damage others cars. Not returning carts is a pet peeve.

A lot of truth to that.

Heinlein postulated that you could tell the overall health of a society by the stated of their public bathrooms.


I postulate that Civilized beings build, Barbarians destroy.

Return always to the cart corral
Hate when they leave their cart crammed between my car.
One store makes you pay 25 to get a cart, and you get your 25 cents back when you return it.(Aldys)

As a handicapped senior citizen I am guilty of not returning my cart most times. When paring in a handicapped space I leave my cart there for the next handicapped individual. On the off chance I park in a regular space I will always return the cart.
That being said, my pet peeve is all those non handicapped people that take a handicapped space because it is closer to the store entrance.

I return my cart to either the corral or the store.
Even if it's pouring or a snow storm.

In my first job - ~55 years ago - I was a grocery clerk at a First National supermarket. In those days people were expected to return carts to the store; there were no carriage corrals. Oddly enough 99% did return their carts. I don't remember ever have to chase them down in the parking lot.

How do you know they are not handicapped?
Also if you can return the cart if NOT in a handicapped space what makes it different in your handicap if you are in a handicapped space?

People were more polite then.
The last 25 years there has been a huge disintegration of public civility and self responsibility.

My pet peeve concerning handicapped parking is seeing someone who has a handicapped placard is as capable or even more so than me parking in a handicapped spot. I am 72 and still have no need for a placard and hopefully not anytime soon...they are there for those that really truly need them...

My rant for the year

Because no handicapped placard hanging from their rear-view mirror? It's really pretty simple. I learned to notice things like that very quickly while I was using a handicapped placard for three months after a ski accident put me into a wheelchair. Able-bodied people that park in handicapped spaces are barbarians!
