Wow, Lazy People These Days

So, I was at my local Food-4-Less. A guy in a Tundra parks (very poorly) two spots away from me, adjacent to the shopping cart return. Well, he returns, and puts his grocery in the truck. To my surprise, he leaves his cart in the space between him and me. WTF!? How lazy must he be to be unable to walk 10 feet to return his cart to its designated return space? I can't believe people these days...

*I snapped a pic with my cell phone after he had left*

I moved to SoCal five years ago and was shocked. Some people take two spaces to park. They leave their shopping carts blocking the next car from backing out.
They throw their trash right out of their window. Parking lots are filthy. Some streets and yards are littered with trash. Some people have a real F*** Y** attitude.

Come to El Monte. People here are incredibly lazy. I guarantee you'll find lots of:

-Garbage all over the streets
-Unkept yards
-An abandoned shopping cart every few blocks
-People crossing the streets without looking both ways in traffic
-High school drop-outs
-Young jobless bums living off mom and dad

The list goes on and on...

Same here in Texas, but it is usually because they are fat, lazy and stupid fucks who have achieved little in their lives...

Welcome to America. Where people look up to the Paris Hiltons of the world. Cause who wants to aspire to earned success when you can be rich and famous for doing absolutely nothing. We're lazy and don't do anything but want more cause we deserve it... for some reason. :p

Yea I use to work at Costco and some people would amaze me sometimes. 1 time though, I was glad I had my job, guy in a new BMW basically does the same thing, but he decided he'd be better than the average lazy ass, and give the cart a good shove in the general direction of the pick up area, turns around, gets in car without looking at what happened to his cart, cart hits a poll, and because of the incline in the lot is headed right back in his direction, I decided to let karma do it's job and, bam, cart hit his new BMW, haha best day ever

Funny thing is he got out ready to yell at somebody, got out, and realized what happened and ended up being angry at himself

Back when I worked at Taco Bell our truck driver parked his rig in front of drive-thru to unload and a customer literally backed all the way up from the front of our drive-thru instead of getting out and coming inside. Oh and SHOPPING CART FTW!

Yup, I see that "leaving the cart behind another person's car" all the time too. It's happened to me a couple time, with once the cart was actually touching my rear bumper

Hey, that sounds a lot like Vallejo, only you didn't mention city bankruptcy. So glad I don't live there anymore, but it does suck that my mom lives right after the city limits, and that we still shop and go into Vallejo.

We're not quite hitting bankruptcy yet, but with so many lazy locals mooching off our tax dollars there's always that possiblility. Hopefully not anytime soon though...

there's a reason why i don't park within 10 spot of a shopping car return place. Sometimes, i would rather walk across the entire parking lot than park close to shopping carts.

Sometimes, i wish i'd be driving some old shitty car, so that i can bump those carts around when they are in the way.
