Whoever left a shopping cart loose in the parking lot and let it slam into my truck⦠I genuinely hope your day becomes at least half as frustrating as mine just became. š¤¬š
I walked back to my vehicle today, saw the cart pinned against the side of it, and instantly got that horrible sinking feeling in my stomach. Sure enough: deep scratches, dents, and paint damage.
And before anyone tries the āmaybe the wind pushed itā excuseāthe wind didn't abandon the cart.
If you leave a heavy metal cage loose on an incline, you are gambling with everyone else's hard-earned property. Returning a cart to the corral takes maybe ten seconds. Instead, someone chose their own minor convenience and handed me a massive repair bill, an insurance headache, and a body shop visit I never asked for.
What annoys me most is how normalized this lazy behavior has become. People act like abandoning carts everywhere is a victimless crime until itās THEIR vehicle getting dented.
Iām already speaking with management to review the parking lot camera footage, because someone knows exactly what they did.
Am I wrong for taking this all the way to the security cameras, or are you tired of people treating parking lots like a bumper car arena? Let me know below.
