I live in a very rich area...might the richest in Atlanta.  Chipper Jones, the Bitcoin guy and Chrisley Knows Best all lived across the street from me.  Chipper sold his house 2 years ago and Chrisley Knows Best is in jail.  I'm not rich, I live on a side street across this neighborhood.

I don't know why but rich white people love to bike ride.  Almost every Saturday, there will be literally 30-40 bicyclist take up the roads around me.  All with their tights, $5,000 bike, $200 helmet, $300 Oakleys/Ray Ban's and Fiji Water bottles....

 

Fixed:

 

Knicker bibshorts, $12,500 bike, $300 helmet, $450 Oakleys and Carbo-Rocket Water bottles. Oh....you forgot $800 Garmin.

My wife used to work with a couple guys who started riding the narrow, windy, hilly streets of Buckhead together. I said that was great, now when they wreck they have someone to call the ambulance for them. Sure enough, just a couple months later one of them flew over the handle bars breaking his collarbone and knocking his front teeth out. 

 

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come around a narrow bend in the road and almost soiled my seat because there was a biker with a death wish in the road.

I think its the ultimate sign of laziness.  
You don’t want to return a cart where its supposed to go because it requires 10-50 more feet of walking?

 

The worst are the ones who leave it in the parking spot next to them.  So the next person who comes to turn in has to get out of their vehicle, move the cart just to park.

Unless you're old and feeble? Burned at the stake.

I always return the cart.

 

Well, truthfully, I have guilt over the one time I didn't return the cart. I was at a Food Lion (an awful market) in Virginia Beach, they had zero carrels to return the cart to. There weren't even curbs to jut it on. So I left the cart just standing there. As I drove away, I saw a wind gust sail the cart right into a BMW. I have lived with that guilt for 20 years.

All you “Holier than Thou” cart returners haven’t reached my level yet. 
 

On my way INTO the store, I’ll stop and grab a cart out of the corral and take it into the store. Then, when I go back outside, I’ll put it in the stack near the sidewalk to the store. 
 

Boom!! How’s that?

Me too!!

I've even gone up to someone who just  finished unloading their cart and offer to adopt  the cart.  I have yet to have my offer declined.

I do get irritated by those who don't return shopping carts, but, another parking log etiquette thing that bugs me is people who don't park in one spot.  The ones who park over the line.  I get it, sometimes you get into a spot and you realize that you weren't quite in, but, there's this thing called "Reverse".  So, put your car in reverse, back up a little, and adjust your parking so that you are securely into your one spot.  The lot may be sparse now, but, as the day goes on, and the parking lot fills up, all spots may very well be needed and you are taking up a spot someone else could pull into.  IMO, people who don't take the time to pull into one spot are just as rude as the ones who can't be bothered to return their carts.
