      Yeah, they probably saw that one and think it’s closer. As long as the cart is put back it shouldn’t be an issue. If the corral is too far back then whoever design this parking space is at fault.

      It isn’t so much that they did something “wrong”. I don’t even really blame the person themself. I find it more frustrating that many of us have grown so used to just leaving our problems for others to take care of, that we automatically walk 40ft to leave something where someone else will have to walk it 60ft, instead of walking the 20ft ourselves.

        This person took the cart where they were supposed to instead of leaving it out like too many people do. Let’s bring it down a notch.

    At least they didn’t just leave it in the closest empty parking space, like literally everyone around here does. 😡

    They were probably getting some extra exercise. For some people, just increasing light activity is their opening strategy for getting fit.

    Hey cut our friend some slack, it’s probably PTSD from covid. Gather round, grandpas gonna tell a story…

    There was a time you see, when it was not allowed to return your cart at the store as they had to be cleaned, you had to return it at the corral with the other biohazards.

    They say that out there in the masses, some are still mentally in lockdown.

    Little did OP know that while they were watching this strange performance unfold, the other guy was sneaking up behind OP and stole their wallet.

    My wife will do this when driving. She will drive the complete opposite direction from where we need to go and if I dare ask “Why are we driving AWAY from x?” she gets mad at me for pointing it out.

      I had a school kid who only knew how to get home by following the bus route. Maybe it’s like that.

      Distance travelled is not the only metric by which you can judge a route. Others include:

      • Traffic
      • Traffic lights or other stops, since it’s nicer to drive uninterrupted.
      • What turns you need to make (2 left turns over 6 lanes of traffic? Pass)
      • Familiarity
      • Road condition
      • The view

    I don’t remember having an issue with this when I pushed carts, but it was a long time ago and I suspect if I saw someone do this I would have pouted about it.
