Shopping Kartma

[Mendocino]

I went to the store the other day. I saw a lady simply give her cart a push after unloading the groceries. Being windy the cart slowed, stopped and then flew back into her SUV. She cursed, pushed it away again, and same thing. Intense cursing and then a push in another direction, into a passing police car. I would hate to have to explain that one to the insurance company.

1. BWUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I hope the stupid fucking **** got a ticket.

There is little I despise more than lazy ass shitbag inhuman wastes of flesh who refuse to put their fucking shopping carts away.

Fucking human trash.

2. I'm with you on that one.

I used to work at a grocery store heavily patronized by just that kind of customer.

Lazy doesn't begin to describe these people, although you did quite a sterling job. :thumbsup:

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. I worked at one, too - and of course, the shitbaggery gets worse the windier and colder it is.

Which is to say, the times that carts fly the best is the time that the lazy ass shitbags come out and do their worst handiwork.

We (other baggers and I) would stand in the parking lot and watch the carts, and watch our profit sharing go down every time one of the things blew into someone's car. But, hey, the person who left the cart isn't gonna be around to get hit, so what the fuck - leave it in the parking lot. Fuck the people who come behind you. It's the new Reagan America - fuck everyone who isn't you. It's the Republican thing to do.

:mad: :grr:

4. The lazy-ass shitbags at the store where I worked also thought of the carts as mobile dumpsters.

They would clean out their cars and leave huge bags of trash in the carts.

I would also find dirty diapers and empty beer cases and ice bags where the drunken LASB filled their coolers and left the trash for me to dispose of - hell, a couple of times the LASB exchanged maypops for one with just slightly more tread and threw the carcass into the cart.

People put their food in those carts! :puke:

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. Oh, yes, absolutely!

Lots of the beer boxes and ice bags bullshit in the summer time.

What's a maypop, and why does it have tread and a carcass?

[Lady Effingbroke]

6. It's a used tire, holes included at no extra charge. You can see the air showing through.

I used to run them on an old car I owned several years ago because it was cheaper to buy a used tire for $20 and run it for a couple months than buy a new suspension - the front end was, to put it politely, FUBAR.


A tire carcass is the tread seen lying along the road, usually deposited by an 18-wheeler, although it can refer to any tire which has outlived its usefulness.

:hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Ah, tires. Yes. Now I get it.

I've never heard them called maypops.

Yeah, old tires, batteries, car garbage, emptied radiators, the whole gamut of anything that people SHOULD have disposed of elsewhere, but instead decided that leaving it in the parking lot for someone else to deal with was the best solution.
