Look man, you can occasionally be selfish or lazy without immediately being an absolute drain on society. Is not putting the cart back ultimately a dick move? Yeah, but its also an incredibly minor dick move, and maybe I've already used up all of my fucks for the day.
Edit: Ok, yall have convinced me. I'm going to start wheeling shopping carts into the most inconvenient places in the parking lot on purpose now. It's really funny how much it ruins all of your days, thank you for giving me a mew source of joy. I wouldnt be surprised if I tipped and treated service staff a hell of a lot better than most of you considering how much you're all itching to feel superior to others over extremely minor things
If you want an actual good reason? Car damage. I have seen them roll away into someone else's car, and even a person. They can also block parking spots and it really sucks when people in the handicap section do it as those then roll in to other spots needed for accessibility. Thankfully my store has tons of cart returns so it isn't even remotely inconvenient. The employees stay on top of the rest, especially if the handicap section right by the doors gets gnarly. The only time I see some true cart carnage is at Walmart. Those parking lots are terrible.
I can't make decisions for you, but I will politely ask you to put the cart away the next time you are at the store. Please and thank you.
Thank you for being polite about it. For the most part I do actually put carts away. I was mostly just commenting to say its incredibly ridiculous to get from "Person does a pretty minor in the long run but selfish thing" to "This person relies on society having rules in order to be able control themselves or be considerate to others".
When it was time to decide whether to order DoorDash or go to the grocery store, you had enough fucks to get out the door. But when it comes time to put the cart back, you're suddenly at bingo fucks and need to immediately RTB?
May all your shits be runny.
Ah yes, its the people that wish ill on those they feel morally superior to that would be the best arbiters of society
Don't try sucking up to me now.
Well in order to be able to self-govern, you need to be able to give enough fucks every day.
Life doesn't stop because you have a bad day.
Lmao at thinking any human being can be perfect at all times. Lemmy never ceases to amaze me with how delusional it is
Is this an issue of executive dysfunction? Putting the cart back is such a trivial task that I have a hard time attributing it to laziness. It doesn't sound like you're doing it on purpose to be a dick either. Do you find that you sometimes can't do other things that should also be trivially simple? Like getting up off the couch to grab something two feet away, or deciding that lunch is too complicated because you need to put it in the microwave? My partner and I have both gone through this for most of our lives and it really sucks, but it doesn't have to be that way.
Oh, yeah I 100% have ADHD
So you should really stop calling it laziness. It's doing a disservice to yourself and anyone else suffering from the same issue. An inability to complete simple tasks when your brain is actively working against you is not a character flaw.
Lmao at thinking putting a cart back makes you perfect. It just means you aren't a selfish cunt, which is a really, really, really, really low baseline expectation.
The fact that all of you are this bent out of shape over shopping carts is both really funny and really sad.
The fact that you think anything negative is a big deal is both really funny and really sad. I think you're a loser, but it doesn't actually affect me at all 🤷♂️
Oh no, some idiot who needs to feel superior to others in order to feel better about himself called me a loser, my day is ruined!
Dude the context of the current post IS shopping carts, you can use the argument for most minor inconveniences. It's okay to be a dick and don't do said thing, honestly and non sarcastically, but don't be a hypocrite.
Note I started this convo by saying that not putting the cart back is a dick move. So I'm not really sure how I'm being a hypocrite here? My whole point was that just because someone chooses to occasionally be selfish, does not mean they are incapable of self governing, people have different priorities, and there are FAR more impactful things I can spend my limited energy on than whether or not I put a cart back (Which I usually do btw, like I agreed at the start, its a dick move not to). That being said, arguing with people on lemmy isnt really a high impact use of my energy either xD
And all I meant is that it is okay to not being able to govern your self. Not everyone is capable of that.
As is clear from your edit in the original comment.
Lmao, go ahead and tell yourself whatever you need to to feel better about yourself buddy, doesnt really impact me any
