Ok so I'll admit it, I've been in a bit of a mood lately.:blush: I'm seriously thinking of starting a blog. Not that anyone would really read what I have to say, but more to vent really. Kind of like therapy, right? :innocent:
So this is what I MIGHT send to our local paper. Just thought I'd share.:HistericalSmiley:
Shopping Cart Returns
To the person who was shopping at XXXXX Supermarket in XXXXXX on Thursday, May 29th and left their shopping cart, the kind that looks like a little car for a child to sit in, out in the middle of the parking lot, thank you for nice new dent in the side of my car. I realize that perhaps you were much too busy to take a few seconds to return the cart to one of the many and conveniently placed cart returns. Or perhaps it was just too much for you to walk the few extra steps to push the cart to the cart return. I really try to think of those poor souls like you and park as closely to a cart return as possible. In this instance, I was one parking space away from a cart return. I apologize that I was unable to park right next to it. I’ll try harder next visit. The shopping cart that rammed into the side of my car was in such a position that I could not simply push it forward or backwards without doing further damage to my car. So I had to lift the one end of the cart away from my car. And totally my fault, I’m a bit of a klutz at times, but one of the carts wheels smashed into my toe. Not only painful, but ruining a brand new pedicure. I’m so thankful that I do my own toes. How awful it would be for the poor technician who worked so hard to make my toes pretty, to find out that her work had been ruined within 24 hours.
So I will continue to try my best to be considerate of you in the future and park as far away as I possibly can from the rest of the parked cars, while parking as closely to a cart return as possible. I mean, we all need to do our part in thinking of others first, right? If only I could learn to be more considerate of others, our town, heck the world, would be so much nicer of a place to live.
