I would like to add people who don't wipe down gym equipment after using it.

Fucking digesting animals.

What makes you think he puts the cart away?

What makes you think he ever uses carts?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

By definition he doesn't put them away then.

So long as politicians are all painted with the same negative brush, there's no room for anyone with a genuine interest in improving things. There are some truly great, caring people in politics working hard to do the right thing. It's not their fault the public keeps voting for assholes.

I've often felt that genuine politicians can't possibly have it easy.

To even get started, step one is getting in bed with social media.

Freaking people who leave their carts in a parking spot… Straight to the top of the list!

Want to know a sad irony? The cart returns are usually really far from the handicap spots. Parking is close to the store. But the returns are halfway down the aisle.

Over here in Germany using a shopping cart "costs" between 50 Cents and 2 €. You have to put a coin in them to release the chain by which they are attached to eachother. Of course when you return the cart and close the lock you get your coin back.

Little metal plates without monetary value but still the right size are common marketing gifts by companies and organizations yet they still provide mostly the same unconscious effect of "I want my coin back".

Of course there are also people who use little gadgets to unlock the carts without putting anything in but I wouldnt know about such things...

It's a thing in the UK as well

We have these at airports in the US for luggage carts - though they don’t return any of your money if you bring the cart back they l’ve seen, so it doesn’t do much to modify behavior.

That's one of the things Aldi brought with them when they came over to the US. I've always thought it was a pretty cool idea, though as inflation keeps going the 25-cent lock-in becomes less and less of a motivator. Maybe a good reminder, though.

With how rarely I use cash I need my quarter back so I can use it to get a cart next time.

Good point. It's really just a cheap key you have to have with you.
