kers who cannot be arsed to take their trolleys back to the trolley parks in supermarkets and shopping centres and just leave them randomly in the car park, usually to roll into the side of someone else's car.
I've mentioned this before, but I once watched a chap unload his trolley and then walk it 50 odd yards back to an almost empty trolley bay, and then carefully placed it alongside the bay. Not in the bay but ALONG the side of the bay!!!!kers who cannot be arsed to take their trolleys back to the trolley parks in supermarkets and shopping centres and just leave them randomly in the car park, usually to roll into the side of someone else's car.Funkycoldribena said:

A valid comparison would be is Fireman Sam himself kept setting fire to stuff and getting a pat on the back for putting it out.

I once unloaded my trolley then wheeled it all the way back to the entrance of the shop (it was the closer than a bay) whilst a bloke pretty much walked alongside me. When we got to the entrance I dropped off my trolley and he immediately took it. I asked him why he couldn't have done that back near my car when he started walking alongside me and he looked at me like I'd just grown two heads. JonRB said:

What, take a trolley that someone else has used? That's disgusting.DJFish said:

But he still took it anyway the moment I released it at the entrance. Why not take it earlier? 
Having said that, I have on occasion offered to take someone's trolley back for them just as they are about to start taking it back, and they have looked at me with total surprise.

My gym insists on playing Radio 1. As I'm normally there quite early in the morning, I'm forced to endure Nick bl**dy Grimshaw attempting to master the difficult art of speaking English - and failing. He, like many others, appears never to have learned that the letters 't' and 'g' exist. His latest delight was talking about "winning the lo'ery" (lottery). It took me a while to work out that he wasn't talking about someone who'd won a lorry.
Seriously, the BBC employs cretins who can't even pronounce the letter 't'?

Ah but what about the ones where you have to deposit a pound. Try offering a pound to someone as they take 'their trolley' back and they immediately think you're trying to rip them off, especially if it's not a pound coin you're offering them.Having said that, I have on occasion offered to take someone's trolley back for them just as they are about to start taking it back, and they have looked at me with total surprise.

Fair point. I should have clarified that in both cases these were places where you didn't need a pound coin for the trolley.

They just pronounce it differently from you; it's not exactly uncommon.Einion Yrth said:

It may not be uncommon, but it certainly annoys me 
ANYONE who uses the phrase "You'd understand if you had kids". Even in the immensely unlikely scenario that I do end up with any offspring it would not make me detest young children any less, so take your sanctimonious know-it-all Mr/Mrs Perfect attitude and use it to set yourself on fire.
Oh, and the Citroen Cactus. I finally saw one in the flesh/metal/plastic for the first time today...what an absolutely HIDEOUS piece of crap.

Think yourself lucky that you haven't had to drive one. I had to do Bristol - Castle Donington and back in one as a hire car a few weeks ago, boy did I turn a few heads on the motorway. In this colour too...
