This drives me friggin nuts

I was at Wal-Mart today and watched a lady unload her shopping cart into her SUV. She was on the passenger side. She then proceded to put her cart right in front of her SUV by the curb. The cart corral was the space by her drivers side. She would have had to walk around her SUV to put it in the right place. I wanted to say something but I didn't. How worthless and lazy do you have to be to do that though?

People always whine like little girls when they get a scratch on their precious SUV's but they're too lazy to walk a few feet to put a shopping cart in the corral.

Subject change....You may remember that Marlin rifle I ordered a couple of weeks ago. Well my gun dealer said that it's backordered and he doesn't know when he can get one so I had him order me something different. I had him order me a Smith and Wesson model 638. It's a lightweight 38 Special snubnose revolver with a shrouded hammer. It ain't a hunting gun but it should be an ideal carry gun when I get my concealed carry license. Here's the link to what it looks like. http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=14772&langId=-1&isFirearm=Y

Personally I think there is a special spot in Hell for people like that.

I guess I just think of it as an extension of the 11th Commandment:

Thou Shalt Not Mess With Another Mans Ride.

There is a great saying regarding those who do not return their shopping cart to a secure location after use.

"Character is a quality defined by your actions when no-one is looking."

That person did not care about the consequences of their action. Quite simply, it showed that they had little or no regard towards other people on the planet. Its a sad thing these days. Its a quality too many have... why care about anyone else.

One of my daydream fantasies is "what would I do if I won the lottery". My solution is that I would not buy stuff for myself. Instead I would use it to for public awareness campaigns, and reminders to those who have no regard towards others.

Like hire a person in a truck to follow the SUV/Cart leaver around where ever they go, just to suyrround their car with shopping carts. When they park their car in their driveway at night, put more shopping carts around their car on high wind nights.

Then their is my idea of a billboard campaign: "Its called a turn signal dammit!" But that is a different story.
