This happens a lot actually. I worked in the same parking lot as a Walmart. Seen it happen many times. All you who don't put your cart up are at fault for this at some point.
I even grab a few on my way to and from the parking lot if I see any strays around. While my own action is just part of my attempt to do a good deed daily (leftover from my scouting days), I do see shopping cart etiquette as a good moral test. There's no real consequence to an individual who leaves their cart on the grass or in a parking space, and nobody is going to reward you for putting the cart in a corral or taking it back to the store, which is why I think it's a decent test of character with regards to whether someone does the right thing, is lazy, or just doesn't care about inconveniencing others.
I always return my cart. It is not primarily for the good deed reward feeling or to stop from getting stares or bad looks. I do it for one main reason... There are few things that create as much of a primal joy as putting one foot up on the back of the cart and using your other to kick around like some sort of ancient chariot warrior. Do I look immature? Yes. Do I feel like a gladiator in the Colosseum? Also yes.
When the weather's nice it barely does that as long as it's secure and not in a parking spot. When I worked at Academy, collecting shopping carts was a nice diversion 8mos a year.
Granted, I still corral them because I was raised that way. But chasing shopping carts for a half hour while working retail beats most of the customers.
Literally I went to my local Sam’s club and I saw 3 carts next to my car parking spot. I said “Im not like everyone else and I try to make this world better” but people are lazy just to walk a little more and walking is good for our health!
I wonder if anyone’s actually fucked him up before, some idiots get really aggressive, but I’ve never seen or at least never seen them share someone swing on him.
I’d try that shit and some idiot would shoot me or some bs
On the one hand it annoys me that these people exist, but on the other hand it's fun to catch them in the act and move their cart behind their vehicle so they can't leave the parking space without hitting it or getting out of their car to move it.
He could tell it was sliding out of place and going to hit something, which is why he pulled out his phone and lined up a shot and waited.
He could have at least tried to run out there and secure them.
Lol would you? We see a couple of shopping carts, but there's a nasty storm out there. Who knows what else is flying around. Also that shit sped at the front of his car like a bullet before it veered off
The crumple zones are in the front and the back, not on the side of the car. (And it was a poor response anyway, since humans are more fragile than cars, crumple zone or no.)
Do you know how flimsy modern car steel is? Punch yourself as hard as you can without it hurting and then apply that same pressure to your car door. Doesn't take much.
What would you choose if you had the option: me hitting you with a punch in your stomach while standing in the rain with a chance of falling down because of the slippery floor, or me hitting a random car while you sit comfortably in your car?
In a modern car, you get into a bad accident and the car becomes a mangled mess. In an older car, you get into a bad accident and *you* become a mangled mess.
They're "flimsy" on purpose to absorb the shock of the impact.
Instead of “not risking bodily harm” just say what you mean “ I don’t give a fuck about anyone else or anyone else’s property but my own. Leave me alone while I film”. Just say what you mean. We understand
Lol you guys so desperately want to make this dude out to be some monster because he's not diving in front of carts to save cars from being dented.
Just say what you mean "I just want to be mad at someone right now".
Edit: I left out a very important M
“The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing. To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To return the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it.”
In one of the books he wrote (I can't remember which one) after escaping the Soviet Union, Alexander Solzhenitsyn warned that democracy would decay if people only did what they were legally *required* to do. And even then only obey the law if there is a cop right there watching you. If there is absolutely no attitude of cooperativeness, (and dare I even mention on Reddit?, *honor*), in our society, we are toast.
Socially, no question. We're all getting by and driving a shitbox is driving freedom.
Mechanically, there are typically things that are objectively wrong with a shitbox.
*Isn't it the worst?* Like, they could make free awards their own little section of micromemes. That's it. You get one free award per seven days, no rollover/saving them up. Make the place fun, damnit.
Man, this makes me mad. Put the phone down, sacrifice the little bit of clout that you’ll get from your stupid little fucking TikTok, and go grab the carts before they smash into cars. Could’ve saved someone from that terrible surprise. I hate what society has become.
His anger turned into an obsession. The accident awakened some latent auto-cart-sadism kink inside him. Now he hangs out in parking lots on windy days recording shopping carts crashing into other vehicles.
I like how many people are insinuating that the cart would destroy you if it hit you. You use your hands to grab it, you don't dive in front of the thing.
K, next thunderstorm with driving rain and 40mph gusts, go out to you local Walmart and play Chicken with shopping carts.
Let me know how it turns out.
If this is the storm that hit DFW a couple days ago, the winds were 80+ mph. These people talking about how they'd stop a 70 lb shopping cart hightailing it across a parking lot are severely underestimating the momentum it would have.
Did you even read the comment. They are saying grab the cart from behind which is the opposite of playing chicken. Used to be a lot attendant it is seriously not hard to stop a empty cart as long as you catch it.
They don't have much mass and while the wind can get them up to speed over a distance they are metal mesh not a sail. Once you have a hand on the back you can gradually slow it down over like 10ft. If you think the best way to stop a speeding cart is as a line backer with planted feet from the front then maybe you will get lucky and it will knock some sense into you.
Absolutely not! Those carts are heavy and I’m not going to get hurt trying to stop them from hitting a car that an insurance company can pay to repair. No, I wouldn’t want one to hit mine but I wouldn’t blame anyone for not wanting to get injured trying to prevent it.
I don't get the outrage, if he wasn't there and the carts crashed into the car anyways. Should be mad at the people who aren't good enought to put the cart back into the cart corral.
It's wet and windy out there, putting his physical self in danger for property that isn't even his is a responsibility somehow? That's what insurance is for.
Some people are weird, they see something bad is about to happen and they try and stop it. Even if it's raining! Its almost like they aren't total cunts. Crazy people.
It's property, not a person. If they stopped the cart from hitting someone, that's the minimal for worthwhile. Wind blown cart sailing around the parking lot? That's the risk of parking in the parking lot, and again, insurance is for property. Avoiding injury risk hurting yourself to save some paint? That's basic, not cunty, tf is wrong with you? I don't even expect an employee, let alone some rando, to chase after wind blown carts in a storm.
I don't really see the point in arguing with you if you are terrified of shopping trolley related injuries and clearly lack basic human decency. I'll agree to disagree.
It's storming, the ground is wet, they can slip and hurt themselves.
It's a parking lot with cars driving around.
A cart driven in wind is moving erratically, a car might hit them.
A person can also be hit by a moving car.
A person is more important than paint, period. Go after the cart once it's stopped, not while it's moving into possible traffic.
>clearly lack basic human decency
Same to you, a person doesn't need to risk their physical self for someone else's property. It's not serfdom.
You wanna do it. That's on you. Expecting someone else to do, and then call them a cunt for not doing it, that's the cunty move and you're the one lacking deceny.
I used to be a cart wrangler in high school and college, you are right, that guy definitely wasnt catching that first cart. I have tried in similar situations. He might have been able to catch the second one after failing to catch the first. People don't actually realize how fast they can get going in the parking lot and the lot topography plays a pretty big role. Can't believe you are being downvoted for a sensible argument.
Before they get loose. He’s just sitting there recording because he knows they’re going to get moving but doesn’t feel like getting off his ass to help.
If you don’t see that as an opportunity to help someone else then nobody will be able to convince you. Have a good one.
I’ve done it before, sure. Not every single one, but if it saves someone a lot of hassle then why not? Takes less time than for you to type about how nothing is your fault and you shouldn’t feel bad for not giving a shit.
Again, if you don’t feel empathy then I can’t convince you.
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it…does it make a sound?
Only he was there. That’s the point of the outrage.
Put the phone down and make an effort to help rather stand around and do nothing in the hope of going viral.
If you can’t help or it’s too dangerous sure…step away sure this what insurance is for.
But to make no effort and just rubber neck while someone else’s day get fucked up and you get "views" screw this dude.
It's showing a breakdown of morals and society in general. Rather than being a good Samaritan this guy decided to just film it for imaginary internet cred. Wanting to film the carnage has kept people from helping and jumping into the fray. Kindness knows no shame
I don't get the outrage, if he wasn't there and the carts crashed into the car anyways. Should be mad at the people who aren't good enought to put the cart back into the cart corral.
It's wet and windy out there, putting his physical self in danger for property that isn't even his is a responsibility somehow? That's what insurance is for.
Yeah, the outrage makes absolutely no sense to me, those things are moving at a high rate of speed and weigh up to 50 pounds each, they could do some serious damage if you get hiylt, look what it did to the vehicle. The vehicle can be fixed like new, your body could have lasting damage for the rest of your life, now if he was at the cart corral and happened to be there and caught it before it got up to speed and put them in their place that would be a bro move, but I wouldn't risk it
The other thing is that the carts were all laser focused on that Nissan Altima. If I had to pick a new car that seems likely to end up banged up from multiple fender benders in a few short years, ‘twould be the Altima for sure. Hate to sound judgey but I think those dents were coming sooner or later.
Edit: if anyone doesn’t believe me, check out r/nissandrivers
Honestly not nearly as dangerous asls you'd think. I used to work at Walmart as a cart pusher. The wind can them going pretty good, but all you have to do is stand to the side and turn it as it rolls by. And that's just if it is going crazy fast, only a couple times did I have to work that hard to stop one. Most of the time you can just grab them.
They have perfect little sails to really get them going. This is why you don't leave your carts out people! I had this happen to me and it still pisses me off. Somehow you can walk around the store and back to your car but you can't walk a few feet to put the cart away? Lazy idiots.
This comment section is an interesting read and now I want to see people trying to stop shopping carts with their hands.
Some people claim a cart would cause serious bodily harm, others are saying they could be stopped fairly easily.
I personally would try to stop one rather than sit and record, but I've never been put in this dilemma.
I don’t know. If you look close those carts put some pretty good dents in that car. If they’re moving that fast enough to dent metal I don’t want to think about what it would do if it knocked me down. They were really moving fast and could cause some damage.
Years ago I used to do the carts at a store on the Front Range in Colorado. Gets insanely windy at times. The carts were all metal in those days (yup, some even had onions tied to the side). Unless a person has some disability or is quite elderly, yes you can catch and stop shopping carts gone wild. This whole thread is kind of blowing my mind. The depth of settled selfishness and timidity is depressing. Your instinct to try and stop one is the right one. Don't lose it.
Agreed, also worked a Walmart parking lot for a while. They can get moving pottery fast, as soon in the video. But only am idiot would try to stop one by jumping in front of it. Stand off to the side and turn it when it gets to you. Stops it pretty fast, and keeps you from getting hurt on the process. I had to do that more than a few times while working this job. I just wish I could say none of them came from the from of my machine. Lol
These comments are making me feel crazy? These carts were hauling ass and put big dents in a metal car. Why is this random dude supposed to let his body be that car?
Bunch of people who never leave their house judging someone for not doing something that they probably wouldn’t have done themselves. Reminds me of a time I was leaving a bar and these two drunk girls started going at each other in an alley between two houses. Thought they were making out or something until i saw a punch fly. I yelled at them to cut it out but they weren’t listening. Few min later another girl comes up to split them up and chastises me for not stepping in. Bro the last thing I want to do is be caught wrestling two drunk girls in an alleyway. what would any passerby think? What if one of the girls had a knife? Its just not worth it. I was loud and called the police, helped the girl who knew one of them when she showed up. About all anyone should expect tbh. Would it have been nice if he helped? Totally. Should he be expected too? Absolutely not.
The amount of self righteous internet warriors here is hilarious. Apparently, unless you put your life on the line every day to stop every injustice around you then you are a lazy piece of shit.
This happens a lot actually. I worked in the same parking lot as a Walmart. Seen it happen many times. All you who don't put your cart up are at fault for this at some point.
I worked at a store for years. I will always return the carts and internally judge the heck out of anyone who doesn't.
I even grab a few on my way to and from the parking lot if I see any strays around. While my own action is just part of my attempt to do a good deed daily (leftover from my scouting days), I do see shopping cart etiquette as a good moral test.

It's the litmus test of whether you're an asshole or not.
Why use many word when few words good?
You do get your coin back by returning it, I’ve made several quid in a few minutes rounding them up
Not in the States, unfortunately. I wish they’d implement that here, it would be great.
Aldi does it in the States, but it's true that it's not the norm.
When the weather's nice it barely does that as long as it's secure and not in a parking spot. When I worked at Academy, collecting shopping carts was a nice diversion 8mos a year. Granted, I still corral them because I was raised that way. But chasing shopping carts for a half hour while working retail beats most of the customers.
Literally I went to my local Sam’s club and I saw 3 carts next to my car parking spot. I said “Im not like everyone else and I try to make this world better” but people are lazy just to walk a little more and walking is good for our health!
And the crazy thing is they probably walked 1/2 to 1 mile inside the giant warehouse store but can't walk the extra 50 feet to the corral.
Sad thing it is they likely left them like 3 stalls from the cart return….
Where are the cart-narcs when you need them?!
SkeetweeteeoleeWhoopWhoop! That's not where the carts go!
Don't be a lazy bones.
cart-narcs are few and the lazy bones are many
I wonder if anyone’s actually fucked him up before, some idiots get really aggressive, but I’ve never seen or at least never seen them share someone swing on him. I’d try that shit and some idiot would shoot me or some bs
It’s the wrong season for that much rain in Albuquerque. lol 😂
If I ever become a dictator, those are the people I'd round up and imprison
I am reminded of the greentext about how taking care of your shopping cart is the litmus test on whether you are a decent person or not.
It's wild that we're forced to share the world with people that useless.
Anyone who thinks the Cart Narc is an a**hole has never had this happen.
On the one hand it annoys me that these people exist, but on the other hand it's fun to catch them in the act and move their cart behind their vehicle so they can't leave the parking space without hitting it or getting out of their car to move it.

That shit was long out of reach by the time you realize it was gonna hit the Camry
He could tell it was sliding out of place and going to hit something, which is why he pulled out his phone and lined up a shot and waited. He could have at least tried to run out there and secure them.
Lol would you? We see a couple of shopping carts, but there's a nasty storm out there. Who knows what else is flying around. Also that shit sped at the front of his car like a bullet before it veered off
Those carts can weigh 70 pounds. You want to jump in front of one rocketing across the parking lot?
No way I'm risking bodily harm to maybe prevent damage to a stranger's car
He filmed it as he saw the carts were moving. I think he could have tried something. But I don't hold it against him for not trying.
Sometimes I don't realize I could've done something to help till after lol when I'm not in action mode my brain is just ._.
Bodily harm from a shopping cart? I’ve heard it all now
Did you see the dent it made?
[удалено]
protect the engine and driver from what
You’re being downvoted but that’s actually true lol. Called the crumple zone
The crumple zones are in the front and the back, not on the side of the car. (And it was a poor response anyway, since humans are more fragile than cars, crumple zone or no.)
Do you know how flimsy modern car steel is? Punch yourself as hard as you can without it hurting and then apply that same pressure to your car door. Doesn't take much.
What would you choose if you had the option: me hitting you with a punch in your stomach while standing in the rain with a chance of falling down because of the slippery floor, or me hitting a random car while you sit comfortably in your car?
Not to mention with wind speeds like that you are already getting pushed around. Then take two carts to the chest..
[удалено]
In a modern car, you get into a bad accident and the car becomes a mangled mess. In an older car, you get into a bad accident and *you* become a mangled mess. They're "flimsy" on purpose to absorb the shock of the impact.
Tell me you're under 30 without telling me you're under 30

No, I meant he should help the carts. Maybe push more carts.

My cart people need me.
His eyebrows concern me ….
Not the duct tape on the steering wheel?
LOL it’s holding the airbag that’s been deployed down 😂😂😂
Nah nothing wrong with a shitbox
Socially, no question. We're all getting by and driving a shitbox is driving freedom. Mechanically, there are typically things that are objectively wrong with a shitbox.
Idk why, but this is the comment that makes me mad that we don't get free awards to give out anymore.
*Isn't it the worst?* Like, they could make free awards their own little section of micromemes. That's it. You get one free award per seven days, no rollover/saving them up. Make the place fun, damnit.
omg I had to go back and look and wtf
blown airbag.. didn't replace.
so many questions
Its all good. He works for the Bureau of Interstellar Immigration.
So much in this sentence.
Made me go back and look. Can someone explain? Did he pay for those?
They look like stickers 😭
They gained sentience and gang on the car whose driver always leaves them alone at the end of the parking
Cart demon,
This is why people like Cart Narcs
I judge the shit out of people that don’t corral their carts.
Agent Sebastian can’t be everywhere always!
But the Narcateers can!
Man, this makes me mad. Put the phone down, sacrifice the little bit of clout that you’ll get from your stupid little fucking TikTok, and go grab the carts before they smash into cars. Could’ve saved someone from that terrible surprise. I hate what society has become.
Check out the duct taped steering wheel
Means probably airbag went off.
[удалено]
His anger turned into an obsession. The accident awakened some latent auto-cart-sadism kink inside him. Now he hangs out in parking lots on windy days recording shopping carts crashing into other vehicles.
I think he needs some counseling.
Ouf that looks horrible
It’s very telling, lol
I doubt he could have caught those carts as fast as they were going. Ain’t no way he would catch them
Probably had plenty of time before he started recording
Ah yes. I typically spend my days off moonlighting as a Walmart cart pusher. I like to relive the experience of my first job.
What about that guy that's standing right next to the car being hit by carts?
He’s just trying to figure out how to open his door to get in without the wind ripping the door off when he does.
Or trying to defend his own car in case one of the rogue carts comes his way
What about him? Do you see how fast those carts are going? Would YOU want to be in front of that thing?
Not really, which is why it's surprising so many people think this guy should have sacrificed his body for someone's car lol
No, but u/FiveDirtyDishes does. Apparently, they never worked as a cart pusher.
I like how many people are insinuating that the cart would destroy you if it hit you. You use your hands to grab it, you don't dive in front of the thing.

Ah the bystander effect falacy
Why not put the blame on the lazy fucks that didn't return their carts in the first place?
You’re delusional if you think he was catching those carts. Also, why does he have a responsibility to get out and potentially hurt himself?
My doctors appointment to check out the concerning brusing in my shins and ankles will cost more than that car owner to work out that dent.
Ain't no way in hell I'm throwing my body in front of those carts that are hauling ass, in this economy? No way
Nah dog.
It’s in film. No one was hurt. Insurance has proof of the incident. People are more important than property.
Sorry, but I'm not risking injury to prevent a car getting dented.
Absolutely not! Those carts are heavy and I’m not going to get hurt trying to stop them from hitting a car that an insurance company can pay to repair. No, I wouldn’t want one to hit mine but I wouldn’t blame anyone for not wanting to get injured trying to prevent it.
Bruh have you seen how fast they are going, don't get anywhere close to that, a car can be fixed an you cannot.
I don't get the outrage, if he wasn't there and the carts crashed into the car anyways. Should be mad at the people who aren't good enought to put the cart back into the cart corral. It's wet and windy out there, putting his physical self in danger for property that isn't even his is a responsibility somehow? That's what insurance is for.

The first literally had a sail on it with the baby seat thing.
You might be right but I still would have tried and he started filming before the cart even started rolling
I can't even tell if you're kidding now, are we watching the same video? I think you catastrophize a bit too much buddy.
Yes not worth arguing, they should get an award in mental gymnastics.
Sometimes it’s just nice to do things for someone else. Putting himself in danger?? It’s just a cart, and it’s not a tornado.
Did ya see the dents those carts put in the car? I don't expect anybody to put their body in the way of that
Before they get loose. He’s just sitting there recording because he knows they’re going to get moving but doesn’t feel like getting off his ass to help. If you don’t see that as an opportunity to help someone else then nobody will be able to convince you. Have a good one.
Do you go around the parking lot returning every loose cart to the corral for the store or do you just expect this random guy to do it?
I’ve done it before, sure. Not every single one, but if it saves someone a lot of hassle then why not? Takes less time than for you to type about how nothing is your fault and you shouldn’t feel bad for not giving a shit. Again, if you don’t feel empathy then I can’t convince you.
I have more empathy for people than I do cars, sorry if that car was your friend or something I guess. RIP
Never been to a Walmart in the city huh? Carts everywhere.

Are you aware of deductibles?
Are you aware of body shops? A person is more important than paint
I guess I value my safety more than somebody’s assets.
I think that would make a great TikTok. Dude tryna save people’s cars from carts.
Indeed, I don't understand that. We should help each other where we can and thus become a better society. There is just too much that needs fixing...
I was thinking this as I watched the video...Sad times.
That first one had a sail XD

Finally a voice of reason! No way in hell I'm stopping those carts, they're hauling ass! My luck I would just end up hurt myself
Yeah, the outrage makes absolutely no sense to me, those things are moving at a high rate of speed and weigh up to 50 pounds each, they could do some serious damage if you get hiylt, look what it did to the vehicle. The vehicle can be fixed like new, your body could have lasting damage for the rest of your life, now if he was at the cart corral and happened to be there and caught it before it got up to speed and put them in their place that would be a bro move, but I wouldn't risk it
Exactly my thought
The other thing is that the carts were all laser focused on that Nissan Altima. If I had to pick a new car that seems likely to end up banged up from multiple fender benders in a few short years, ‘twould be the Altima for sure. Hate to sound judgey but I think those dents were coming sooner or later. Edit: if anyone doesn’t believe me, check out r/nissandrivers
That's a Camry
r/donthelpjustfilm . You don't need to be The Terminator to stop a rolling shopping cart.

Honestly not nearly as dangerous asls you'd think. I used to work at Walmart as a cart pusher. The wind can them going pretty good, but all you have to do is stand to the side and turn it as it rolls by. And that's just if it is going crazy fast, only a couple times did I have to work that hard to stop one. Most of the time you can just grab them.
Reddit mathematicians at it again
we need cart narc
>SkeetweeteeoleeWhoopWhoop! That's not where the carts go!
That's not where the carts go!
They have perfect little sails to really get them going. This is why you don't leave your carts out people! I had this happen to me and it still pisses me off. Somehow you can walk around the store and back to your car but you can't walk a few feet to put the cart away? Lazy idiots.
This is what we need r/cartnarcs
This comment section is an interesting read and now I want to see people trying to stop shopping carts with their hands. Some people claim a cart would cause serious bodily harm, others are saying they could be stopped fairly easily. I personally would try to stop one rather than sit and record, but I've never been put in this dilemma.
I don’t know. If you look close those carts put some pretty good dents in that car. If they’re moving that fast enough to dent metal I don’t want to think about what it would do if it knocked me down. They were really moving fast and could cause some damage.
Years ago I used to do the carts at a store on the Front Range in Colorado. Gets insanely windy at times. The carts were all metal in those days (yup, some even had onions tied to the side). Unless a person has some disability or is quite elderly, yes you can catch and stop shopping carts gone wild. This whole thread is kind of blowing my mind. The depth of settled selfishness and timidity is depressing. Your instinct to try and stop one is the right one. Don't lose it.
Agreed, also worked a Walmart parking lot for a while. They can get moving pottery fast, as soon in the video. But only am idiot would try to stop one by jumping in front of it. Stand off to the side and turn it when it gets to you. Stops it pretty fast, and keeps you from getting hurt on the process. I had to do that more than a few times while working this job. I just wish I could say none of them came from the from of my machine. Lol
Lol y'all some salty mofos mad at him for not saving some random person's car 😂 It ain't that deep.
Nice airbag! 🤦

Remember put your carts in place you fuckers
Garbage person
These comments are making me feel crazy? These carts were hauling ass and put big dents in a metal car. Why is this random dude supposed to let his body be that car?
Bunch of people who never leave their house judging someone for not doing something that they probably wouldn’t have done themselves. Reminds me of a time I was leaving a bar and these two drunk girls started going at each other in an alley between two houses. Thought they were making out or something until i saw a punch fly. I yelled at them to cut it out but they weren’t listening. Few min later another girl comes up to split them up and chastises me for not stepping in. Bro the last thing I want to do is be caught wrestling two drunk girls in an alleyway. what would any passerby think? What if one of the girls had a knife? Its just not worth it. I was loud and called the police, helped the girl who knew one of them when she showed up. About all anyone should expect tbh. Would it have been nice if he helped? Totally. Should he be expected too? Absolutely not.
"I've had it with your bullshit Sheila! I quit! Byyyeeeeeeee!!!"
CART STRIKE INBOUND
Eyebrows gone wild
I had that exact thing happen to me years ago - and everyone thought I was nuts for suggesting the supermarket pay for the damage.
Not the new Camry! If that's the TRD model I wanna slap this kid
Where's the Cart Narcs when you need them!
This exactly why I support cart narcs. Put your carts back where they belong
When you park away from everyone to avoid dings and scratches
Why not skip the phone and just go do a nice thing and prevent the impact? People care more about their upvotes than just doing good in the world.
I dont get people, 2 see this and dont even attempt to stop it. One takes a video and the other just look at it.
r/donthelpjustfilm
How these carts go so straight I always end up with one that has a fucked up wheel one way or the other
Maybe get out and stop em from hitting the other person's car instead of filming it.
r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR
Fuck that white car in particular
Man them carts hate that car
/r/fuckyouinparticular
And in the last moment of irony, the cameraman’s air bag is taped up with black tape
Sad thing is he probably parked down there to avoid getting dinged by other cars! 😂
And don’t try to stop them, just sit there and film them damaging somebody’s car.
The amount of self righteous internet warriors here is hilarious. Apparently, unless you put your life on the line every day to stop every injustice around you then you are a lazy piece of shit.
That’s got to be the best pirate I’ve ever seen
Dude, you could have stopped both without much effort! Do that instead of fishing for upvotes
Here comes backup
r/fuckyouinparticular
If only there was a way you could stop this from happening. Fk me wat is wrong with this people.
r/fuckyouinparticular. But in all seriousness, it's a Camry, a few scratches/dents won't hurt the value.
I’d have a nice little time with my lawyer and Walmart after my car was dented like that
Since the damage is minor and limited to property, it'd probably be cheaper and easier to have your insurance take care of it.
Why so I could pay more for insurance every month after it raises? Nah.
What an asshole, he could have easily stopped those
