Sort of similar but whenever I go down a flight of stairs I imagine myself to be an airliner coming in to land, with my 'wheels' hitting the runway as I step onto the bottom landing.

Not sure why, I'm not really big into planes either. rotate

This.

I also enjoy supporting my weight on the cross handle to perform a Ken block style 360° 4 wheel drift/pirouette down a clear aisle.

Come to think of it, all I need is a Go-pro and a man on a segway. Then I'll be able to do a full gymkhana next time I do the weekly shop. driving
I like to make one small input with the aim of the trolley doing a 360-degree turn, while matching my walking pace and not deviating from the original course. I then casually extend my hands to take back control on completion. While the turn is in progress, it is important to maintain nonchalance. Breaking stride, running to catch up with a runaway, scattering less skillful shoppers, and knocking over a display of discounted Merlot are all frowned upon (by the governing body of the sport/artform). If the trolley is heavily loaded, so much the better. If things don't turn out as planned you will find that, like the kart you drove at that work Christmas do, you have happened upon a poorly maintained instrument and your talent in this field is not in doubt.

Sometimes you get the trolleys the the fixed rear wheels, they drift beatfuly. You cave to carry a little more speed but it's much more satisfying.

Also I have to clip my apexes when walking.

The Mrs pointed out, not for the first time I might add that when I walk around the house I do car noises with gear changes and turbo chatter, usually a Subaru on a rally or an F1 car usually changing down through the gears.

I also apparently like to oversteer the trolley in the supermarket!

Time to grow up?
I would never, ever do this.

In a supermarket it might have repercussions. I mean, she puts a set of supermarket frillies in there and you'll be up before the magistrate on charges of a double D crutchless shift. Tricky.

Glad I am not the only one who arses about with the trolley whilst shopping hehe

Baggage trolleys are also fair game especially if the brakes work well.

I'm still working on the Erik Carlsson style left foot braking for a nifty turn at the end of the aisles. Practice makes perfect.

4 wheel drive or front wheel drive Trollies.
You have to load the trolley differently, depending on which trolley you have.
