Sainsbury's Garthdee, Aberdeen. Cars parked OK for a change, but spotted this shopping trolley.

Why is it some lazy fekkers can't put the bloody trolley back, mind you it's a long walk.
Being an internet hard man, I asked someone why they didn't put it back as it was just as far (across the "road" but no cars in the way. His response: "it's someone's job to do that".
^^ That was my third choice.

1. "Wot, are you? the Police or summink?"
2. "Why should I? I don't need it any more!!"
3. "it's someone else's job to do that"
4. "There's plenty more over there!"

Yeah, in retrospect, I got the politest reply!

Off topic, and at the risk of sounding like one of the grumpy old men, the increasingly prevalent attitude that there are people to clear up after others really annoys me. "It's OK to drop litter - that's what the street sweepers are for" is another example.

Yup.

That is another annoyance of mine. If I can pick my rubbish up and carry it to the next bin I pass, then its obviously not impossible.

Trains are the most incredible. The amount of people who get up leaving cups and food wrappers littering the table, only to stand next to the bin by the carriage door for up to a minute.

I had this once. Contractors on site, eating their scoff in the wagon and one decides to hoik his sandwich crusts out of the window as I was walking past. I ambled over and politely asked him to pick it up and throw it away properly to which he replies, somewhat astonished, that it's just bread and the birds will eat it. I said tough, someone else will end up cleaning his mess up because he couldn't be arsed to throw it away properly and to have a sense of his surroundings before he starts behaving like a selfish tt (or words to that effect). Bloke gets out and picks his crap up but not before acting like a spoilt brat. Luckily this was in the grounds of Sandhurst and I was in uniform. Anywhere else I'd have probably been filled in.

He would probably complain the trolley collector hadnt collected the abandoned trolley which hit his car.

Funnily enough I saw that happen to someone this morning when I'd popped to Sainsbury's. Husband & wife in their 50's finish offloading the contents of their trolley and get back into their C class leaving the trolley in the empty neighbouring space. Gust of wind goes across the car park and off goes the trolley into the front passenger door hehe

Comedy follows as the husband gets out of the car and starts shouting & swearing, rather loudly, about his newly gained dent. From what I could hear, it was evidently the wife's fault for not putting the trolley a few spaces further away from their car rolleyes

The thing I found most amusing? The trolley park was only 6 spaces further down from where they'd parked. Obviously the minimal extra walking distance was too much for either of them.

When I was doing my stint on the checkouts, I used to wish for some trolley duty to escape the shop for a while. It would really please me if they where nicely distributed all over the car park wink

That was lucky (for us). What is more likely to happen is said trolley will hit someone else's car.

I was sitting on a platform at London Bridge Station with some fast food rubbish to dispose of and no bins on sight so I asked an Inspector. His reply? "Just chuck it on the floor sir"
He eventually admitted there was a big wheely bin around the corner but didn't want to tell me in case the cleaners found out he was putting them out of a job!!!
