The inherent difficulty in two counties separated by a “common” language. Here it’s a “Cart Corral” for the alliteration…your mileage and name may vary…trolley area, point, and bay have already been referenced.

Would be interesting to study based upon affluence of surrounding neighborhood, gender, rough age and vehicle type/model. However, Scientific American had a couple of posts in this: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/anthropology-in-practice/why-dont-people-return-their-shopping-carts/ https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/anthropology-in-practice/follow-up-the-reasons-people-dont-return-their-shopping-carts/# The enjoyable responses are the ones where people try to explain how they are keeping people working by not returning their cart/trolley…lazy b*****ds! Does your Tx stand for Texas? Texans take it particularly badly when they are asked to return their trolley and offered a shaming bumper magnet. Pulling a gun seems a slightly excessive reaction IMO. https://youtu.be/h8d_XYd1dac 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no point in designing a thread to out the arseholes when you can't see who the arseholes are.

Pulling a gun seems a slightly excessive reaction IMO. https://youtu.be/h8d_XYd1dac That’s a pretty mild reaction to an idiot that’s gonna get beaten up (not that I think that’s correct, but…). There is a nasty streak of FU running through the Bible Belt (roughly Texas to Georgia) these days, seriously amplified since around 2008. I suspect things will escalate until the new demographic reality settles in, and the morons move to Idaho (or wherever is designated the new “Redoubt” by then). I would expect a similar reaction from people in most states these days though. To be fair, hIs response was pretty average (if you exclude the loading a round in the chamber) for anyone if you suggested putting anything on their vehicle over here. This is pretty much a result of hysterical (rightwing) media coverage of “increasing crime” and the passage of laws allowing the use of a weapon if you even feel threatened. The guy in the video could likely have been shot by the driver without any real chance of charges being filed because the driver would simply say he felt threatened when the flashlight was pointed at him because he couldn’t tell what else was under the orange shroud. Worst case the matter would be referred to a Grand Jury, and the District Attorney would likely recommend a no bill result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
