We pulled into the parking lot of Office Max, my wife, kids and I, because my wife's duties as office manager included keeping office supplies stocked. So we were going to need a cart. The lot is on a slight incline, and there's this one shopping cart a good 30 or 40 feet away rolling slowly towards the store. Yeah, some idiot had left it, and it was now that most dangerous of parking lot hazards, the runaway cart.
I observe the vector of the rolling cart, choose a spot, park the car, and we all pile out. We've done this before, and my kids ask "Are we going to need a cart?" to which I answer "No, I'll just use The Force." Confused looks from wife and kids. I stand next to the car and dramatically raise my arms in front of me. "Come here!" I say. My kids look and see the cart rolling towards me.
The cart has been rolling in a beautiful straight line (thank God) and rolls right up to me, and I grab it. I didn't even have to move. Damn, I'm good! I think to myself. I whip the cart around, grab it by the handlebar, and say "Let's go!" as I head towards the entrance. My kids are running behind me going "Wow, that was cool!" and "How did you do that?" and my wife just shakes her head, but she's grinning too.
Anyway, so yeah, people who leave shopping carts out suck, but that's a true story, and the one time I didn't think it was too awful that someone had left their cart out.
