Default i HATE shopping carts!

Went to Best Buy today to return a dvd player with my gf, im out in the parking lot sitting in the vette looking for the recept. A lady comes up to her SUV and unloads her crap, then she procedes to "balance" the shopping cart (windy day) so that it does not roll anywhere, right in front of my car! and im sitting inside staring at her.
She apparently sees nothing wrong with leaving a shopping cart right infront of a car (a bright red vette that is!) on a windy day...

immeadiatly i get out, starring at her, grab the cart and move it 30 feet away to one of those cart areas. I get back in my car and i can see her just eyeballing me! i cant believe the nerv of some dumb *** retarted trailor trash bi$$chs


thanks for lettin me rant,

I know how you feel, I find myself parking in the highest part of the parking lot even if its the farthest from the store just so they dont roll toward my car!

When she was eyeballing you, you should have given her the "wave"

Hey I was at Best Buy at 3pm today in Daytona... but 2 months ago I was down the street at the movies in the Home Depot shopping center and a storm came while I was in... came out and had two of them against my front bumper. One tore the paint on my headlight cover.
