This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

In the UK you have to put a £1 coin in to unlock it. Whenever you return the trolley back, it gives you the coin back

It's interesting to read the comments, as there are people who are like

I sometimes don't return the cart and I attest myself to not be a bad person. Therfore the test is bullshit.

But then they behave like a dick in the comments; showing involuntarily that the test is a good metric.

So I think even a post about this test works like the test on a more meta level.

I return mine because its an opportunity to get more steps in.

After taking it outside boundaries so a wheel locks up.

Look at tge people returning them in the lot, mostly fat and/or wealthy.

TIL I'm mostly a good person but sometimes I am also no better than an animal and an absolute savage who will only do right when threatened. Interesting. Another thing is that I'm grateful for other savages who don't put their carts back cause I don't have to walk so far to get a cart.

Are there not carts at the entrance of the store? Every store I shop in has carts right when you walk in.

Yeah but if you have bags that you take to the store it's convenient to have a trolley to put them in plus my mother who is getting older likes to have a cart to hold on to.

I take reusable bags to the store and it's pretty easy to carry a stack of them into the store, it weighs 2 lbs, and how does you mother walk other places maybe she needs a walker for assistance lol..... they don't keep the carts outside because they get ruined by the weather. Here's a solution, other than a walker. Ll, park next to the cart return and grab one on the way in, other wise there's some main character syndrome going on.

The fact that you are trying to defend your point instead of attempting to see someone else's side screams main character syndrome lol. In my country shopping carts aren't made of paper so they don't have the problem of being ruined by the weather. Sadly parking space is not always available near a cart return but you being the main character I bet when people see you coming they take a wide berth lol. Anyway have a nice day.

Lol no but that's a fun scenario you've made up for yourself in your head. I see your point i just think its dumb. You undwrstand peopel can have different opinions. It's also ironic you are calling me main character syndrome when your whole rant was about you not bring able to be the main character and having to walk to a cart. Dumbass.
