Luckily, i have never been judged by some old man for leaving my cart between the fronts of cars or he seriously would have gotten more than a glare from me. I so would not have even moved it. I would have left it right there. It is absolutely assinine that anyone expect us to leave our kids in the car and go trekking across the walmart parking lot to find one of three cart holders. I have no guilt whatsoever each and every time I leave my cart right where it is, thinking, "If they want me to put it where it needs to go, they better &*#@ well realize they need more of them, closer together." Seriously, they're asking for it. I just wish some old man would do this to me so I could show him what those of us without arthritic fingers can do.Alicia Lepperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840970718186336518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30518121.post-56733506987873132662007-02-13T11:59:00.000-08:002007-02-13T11:59:00.000-08:00That mug IS delightful!

He was out of line. Instead of harassing Mothers of young children, maybe he should watch a little Oprah and see why we don't let our children out of our sight! <BR/><BR/>Unless the stars align and I get a spot next to a corral, my cart goes wherever it's most convenient. I figure it makes the cart boys' night a little more interesting;)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11472403841943442729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30518121.post-34055502995010180052007-02-12T22:06:00.000-08:002007-02-12T22:06:00.000-08:00I'm Heathers sis-in law and I had to comment, (lov...I'm Heathers sis-in law and I had to comment, (love your blog BTW!) I love it when people leave their carts in the parking lot, then I don't have to chase one down with three kids in tow! So next time you want to leave a cart in the lot, please do and think of the next mother that comes along!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15908479198223454485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30518121.post-72593038314175666782007-02-12T21:17:00.000-08:002007-02-12T21:17:00.000-08:00Should I really comment?

Locking kids in the car, leaving carts, and parking next to the corral...nothing is a GREAT solution, so maybe you could just forward your post to Wal*mart and maybe they would figure out that their engineering department missed the mark by a long shot on the RD 68 parking lot plan.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079751153406018476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30518121.post-16688199295637269912007-02-12T19:12:00.000-08:002007-02-12T19:12:00.000-08:00I just had to comment on this.

I know they are probably thought they would just squeeze in more parking spaces, but I bet they have less available spaces because people leave there carts in the parking spots. Stupid Wal-mart! By the way you have no idea who I am but I love your blog! You are hilarious! I am glad you gave that grandpa a dirty look. You go!hatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759777741358743601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30518121.post-34038734098410719712007-02-12T16:06:00.000-08:002007-02-12T16:06:00.000-08:00I'm still laughing!

I've gotten many a glare for locking my children in the van for 17 seconds while I run, and I mean run to return the stupid cart. So really we just can't win. I also try to park next to a cart thingy, but it doesn't always work out, so I have no problem leaving it in the line lane with your old man!tharkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959419902975113806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30518121.post-21101950013736712042007-02-12T14:35:00.000-08:002007-02-12T14:35:00.000-08:00I can totally relate Karen.

I usually try to find a parking space near a cart corral, just to avoid the glares of self-righteous people.<BR/><BR/>Oh and that mug is adorable.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498765643079748671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30518121.post-81004899430572608022007-02-12T12:37:00.000-08:002007-02-12T12:37:00.000-08:00I never understood why people didn't put their car...I never understood why people didn't put their carts away until I had a child and couldn't figure out how to put mine away, particularly at costco. So, I empathize with you. That man probably has never been faced with that dilemna. A similar story I heard was about a man who was balked for parking in a handicapped spot and didn't "look" handicapped. He actually had the disease where you are allergic to the sun so he needed to get inside fast. I bet the balker felt like an jack hole then!goodehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516440502750405855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30518121.post-35976319387557572702007-02-12T11:45:00.000-08:002007-02-12T11:45:00.000-08:00I think Wal-Mart makes it especially hard to retur...I think Wal-Mart makes it especially hard to return shopping carts. There are only 3 spots in the entire parking lot to place your cart. I have to admit that if I am too far from one of those, I usually put my cart up on one of the median areas with bushes. I have gotten my fair share of dirty looks, but I'm not willing to leave the sight of my van for a Wal-Mart employee's convenience when retrieving those blasted 4-wheeled devices.dandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959364417432290142noreply@blogger.com
