Happens everyday at The Home Depot. Fat lazy bastards leave carts away from their vehicle and let carts hit other peoples vehicles....I usually park my car way towards the back where no lazy man would ever find the time to walk to and park there :)

I'm safe guarded between a a Ford F250, Black Firebird WS1, and a Benz C-class~

Dont see much of this in Western PA. Probably because we have a lot of old folks who have a work ethic.

Depending upon the speed what can happen is that the cart runs off in a hurry in unpredictable directions, sometimes into light poles, other carts or innocent cars. At the very least it dings your car's paint. Shopping carts are pretty damn tough items.

For me, the further I park from the return spots or from the store, the more dings/dents/scratches I get. So now, I park where I want to park. hehehe.

I watched some Jackass just let the cart roll into my car... He looked up at it, Decided it was too far away and looked back at his trunk... It was an old metal Genuardi's cart, and the bottom corner cracked my fucking headlight, spun sideways and scratched my drivers side door...

And I just stood there... grocery's in hand, in the door way... as my baby was violently RAPED... By someone's careless, lazy, insignificant ASS!

So I started to walk to my car,as I passed him (Without breaking stride) I placed my hands on the back of his Pussy little head, and smashed it into his truck lid.

After "closing of his trunk" I walked to my car and put my grocery's (ok... mostly munchies, what do you want from me I'm a stoner) in my car.

As I was back there I could here the foot prints of an very angry Douche bag coming my way. So I picked up my tire iron, closed my trunk... and stepped out into his path...

Without a word he froze there, and as polite as I could sound I said.

"I hope you understand that there are 3 things you NEVER do to man:
1) Never rub another man's rhubarb...
2) Never leave a wingman hanging... If your wingman is off railing out the fat chick, you better be fucking the shit outta the hot one!

and Finally

3) Never Fuck with another mans car!"

I grabbed the cart and pushed it at him... Ignoring his pansy ass complaining about my "Over Reaction"

I got in my car and left...

People... I beg you... Please stand up against this Menace...

Please People... Beat the SHIT outta the next person who does this... For me, for Kaotic Lazagna, hell, for all of us!

Only together can we make parking lots safe from lazy assholes...

WHO'S WITH ME!



Hey Chino... I'm Back Buddy!

Yay, another rebel on here....:D

I'm glad you took action, especially if the cart cracked your headlight. Like your 3 rules, especially the 3rd!

I carry a crow bar in my car for assholes like these....I'm not big like some of the big tire lifted contractor truck drivers that come to Home Depot.....so if they ever break or damage my car (a lot), i will take action with the bar.

Count me in.

The vast bulk of the US, at least where people are heavily armed, this is a swell way to get two in the chest and one in the head.

First injure the victim with a juvenile stunt like smacking their head off of a trunk lid. Second, when the victim of said assault approaches, remove a bludgeon from your trunk, raising the ante to aggravated assault, which are suitable grounds for a good shoot in most of PA.

.....except this went down in Philly. The police in Philly only get arrests on twenty percent of all murders. So within the boundaries of the City of Brotherly love this kind of advice works.

Try this shit in my locale and you will most likely get arrested, if someone doesn't clip you.

Of course we don't cotten to people letting "buggies" roll into other people's cars. If I'd done this sort of thing by accident I'd have handed over my insurance information, but I'm a stand up guy who takes his lumps.

You know... Maybe the problem is that WE, as American's, have turned into PUSSIES... We can all bitch, but no one even stands up for themselves anymore...

Take a stand... you know while your sitting there thinking to yourself... What if they have a gun... THEY ARE THINKING THE SAME THING...

Plus, in my Experience, most people who have guns, and show them off, will never actually pull the trigger...

Live a little, so what if you get shot... So long as you live, that's all that's important.



P.S. It may sound like a juvenile stunt to you... But I'm more of a MAN then most of you whinny little girls... NEVER FUCK WITH A MAN'S CAR...

I learned this the hard way over many years - An angry person fights themself. You lost your temper and were lucky. You need not be upset about this but ought to be aware that you can do things that need doing without being "psyched up" first.

Pride will knock you down and keep you there. Self respect will elevate you because you are goaded to do better.

Your car is not you nor a person. Your car is a thing. Be proportional next time. IF someone damages your car and they have a car damage it, preferably the same way.

This will be hard for you to understand... but Pride, Self Respect, and Discipline are all traits of MAN... I did not loose my cool. I did not yell, I did not argue, I cursed a lot, but in calm and slumber tone.

I was not looking for a fight, I was not looking to make him bleed, I was looking to Discipline a child, in a more adult way then spanking him! But he acted like a child, and you need to put children in their place sometimes!

There was no injury only embarrassment. The human body is built to withstand great Tortures (ask Bush) closing his truck with his head was not harmful, but helpful.

I'm pretty sure he never did it again (If I ever knew he he was) I mean Shit... would you?

Grow UP... Be a MAN... Let your balls drop already!

(That last statement isn't directed towards you specifically GeneW, I hope you understand that. This was a general statement used only to help inspire others and end the my defense on a more aggressive note. I mean your a name on a website... Gene could stand for Genevieve in which case telling you to be a man would be quite an error, unless you have been secretly wanting to have a sex change operation, In which case I would say, let this be a sign from God, just do it honey... ummm brother... whatever makes the time you got on this planet of ours more enjoyable, do it, cause Fuck it... you only live once! But then again IF your name is Genevieve then you have British heritage, which most likely points you to being Catholic, and if your Catholic then YOUR God would send you to Hell for undoing the special gift he gave you, that of your body. Which means then it is not a sign from God but then as a cunning trick perpetrated by the Devil himself. In which case I wouldn't suggest doing it... But that is only if your name is Genevieve from England who is thinking about having a sex change operation... hahaha... By the way My name is Nutzoids, and I man NUTZ! And I think everything I just typed undid the original point I was trying to make... Sorry )

(By the way... I have signed ALL my posts with this guy)

I guess Nutz we're just gonna disagree... I don't feel right about lecturing other grown men about their life choices if those choices don't impact upon myself. We all play the percentages, you know?


Funny. Last night after I bought food the skies opened up. I walked through a driving rain to get to my car. Put the wet bags into my car. The rain was coming down like a bitch but I took the time to walk the buggy to a stall.

Thought of your story and smiled to myself. Here I am in a t-shirt, slacks and sandals, getting soaked and still taking the time to the do the right thing.

Not one buggy was left out there in the lot, Nutz. Maybe you're living in the wrong part of the country?

If you use one bring along a towel to muffle the noise of the air rushing out. The sound of a valve core stem being removed is piercing and quite loud.

Ok lets talk about public restrooms. That's where you really get to see how special most Americans are. I've had people literally wipe shit off of their hands onto the wall and never bother to clean it up.

Used to be a contract cleaner... I only saw that one time, in a TJ Maxx store south of Pittsburgh. In the ladies room..... one stall.

It's not that common.... but Lord is it disgusting. In those more innocent times, before we knew about stool borne diseases, cleaners would just wipe the walls down.
