Holiday shopping fun

[razorjak]

That's me. Just a regular ray of fuckin' sunshine.

One of my pet peeves that will send me up the spout without fail are people too lazy to put their shopping cart in one of the corrals that most stores and supermarkets have in their parking lots. It's exponentially more irritating when said corral is two parking spots from the asshat in question.

After finishing up some VERY last minutes shopping at the Meijers' in Ludington after work today, I noticed some fuck in an SUV put his "heavy load" ( 4 grocery bags ) that so demanded the use of the gas-guzzling monstrosity that he was piloting. He then put his shopping cart BEHIND the car next to him. The cart corral was only two spots from his gashog. Pushing it to the next spot meant he was less than ten feet from it!

Of course, my civic mindedness (and the chance to be an asshole to a stupid fucker) demanded I intervene.

While walking up to the SUV as he was getting in, I made a show of looking at the front of the vehicle. As if I saw something under it or I was checking the license plate out. The dolt didn't notice me until I was up to the driver's side window and knocking on it.

As he rolled the window down to ask me what I wanted, I looked at his rear-view mirror.

"What are you looking at?" queried Lazy McLaziness.

"Sir, are you handicapped in any way?"

"No, why? I wasn't parked in a handicapped spot." replied Lazy.

"I know this sir. I was just curious as to what level of handicapped, either physically or mentally, one had to be in order to push a cart ONE DAMNED SPOT away from the corral and not go the extra distance and put it away properly."

Lazy started getting a bit irritated, " I'm in a hurry."

"I figured that. That's why I am wasting at least three times the time it would have taking you to be courteous."

At this he muttered fuck you and tried to drive of as he rolled his window up. This is when he realized I had ahold of his side-mirror.

"Drive off and the mirror stays with me."

...

Just doing my part to spread the holiday cheer to crackerjack fuckers one and all.

I ripped into my mother for this the other day. I ALWAYS take my cart back to the corral. Nowadays places stick so many of them out there it's almost impossible to be far away from one anyway. The worst ones are at IKEA - the cart wheels are so loose and free spinning that the damn things glide and get blown all over the parking lot, usually into other peoples cars.

Have a Shiny Holiday!
