I was walking to my car from Fred Meyer's the other day. With my groceries in tote, I noticed a woman pulling her cart between my car and the one parked next to it with what seemed to be great speed and poor control. She was headed for the "Return Carts Here" bin. I immediately thought, "This is going to be good."
Sure enough, this stranger didn't disappoint as I watched her drag the edge of the shopping cart along our bumper. It was an ugly sound, and an even uglier scene when she left several permanent scrapes. It gets better...the woman sees me approaching, ditches her cart, and without even a passing glance hops into the passenger side of her vehicle and speeds away with the help of her accomplice (husband)--ok, she didn't really speed away, but c'mon! Unbelievable. It's OK strange lady. We don't take much pride in our 1997 Honda Accord anyway. The dings and dents you left just give it that added character, along with the duct tape on our front passenger headlight. And really, I didn't expect you to make eye contact with me, let along apologize for something that was clearly your fault. With that being said, have a great day, Cart Lady...and remember, what goes around, comes around!
