Baby Smithnormalize returning grocery carts saying, "GOOOOAAAL"
Fulkery1@itsBabySmith are you saying this isn't currently normal?
@fulkery1 extra points for you! 😆

When, for stupid reasons, I was doing a lot of middle of the night grocery shopping; I vented some of my resentment by playing what I called "Bowling For Carts."
Rules Of The Game:
- After unloading groceries into car, find a cart return bay downslope from you & not too far away.
- Line up grocery cart with return bay entrance, & give it a precisely calculated shove.
/scoring criteria in next post
@itsBabySmith
Zero Score: cart misses bay, & you have to run & catch it.
- Negative Score: cart misses bay & starts heading for another car, & you have to run & catch it *fast*.
[triple bonus negative score if cart hits someone's car]
- Positive Score: cart runs smoothly into return bay.
[bonus positive points if cart joins up with other carts with that nice satisfying click-thunk-it noise]
Maybe not the most fun you can have alone in a grocery store parking lot at 1 am; but it does for me.
Ossi-Aussie@itsBabySmith I did it just then and the woman behind me smiled. Probably made her day, who knows. Cheered me up, anyway. It's the little things, so thanks for the inspiration!
Progessive Liberal@itsBabySmith it’s like you’re in my head, and for that I apologize
Jacob Harris@itsBabySmith Especially if you do it by pushing from a distance angle into the cart return area
@Bestestgrammie
Elaine J@itsBabySmith just started doing that!🤣😂

@itsBabySmith Once you get used to living in a military community, shopping carts adrift all over the parking lot annoys you to no end. After many years in the Marines, I find this to be completely trifling. PUT THE SHOPPING CARTS IN THE RETURN!
