i went to tescos in altrincham last week, anyone round her will remeber the night with awful weather, it was then.
get out of the van, its absolutely lashing down thunder and lightning to see a bloke dashing in his 4x4 leaving his trolley by his car in a force 8 gale.
it was really quiet because of the weather so it got up some speed and then some more, it was going at jogging speed right for another car. so, i sprinted after it (being about as athletic as stephen hawking) caught it just before it hit a car about 10 metres away and put it in the trolley parking bay, pausing only to give this knobjockey a really dirty look.
he put his head down and pretended to be messing with his keys
i dont know how people can have such little regard for other peoples property

Supermarkets should use the same principle they do in France. A 1 euro coin releases the trolley and you get it back when you return it and lock it up again.
It works because I have never ever seen a "rogue" trolley!
Here I'd made it a £2 coin for good measure.

Unfortunately making people pay for trollies doesn't always work. In the car park outside my work, all it takes is one person who doesn't care about losing a quid, and the trollies start to pile up straight away. All the others who dump them after get their money back, all because of one lazy, inconsiderate person who can't be bothered to walk about 10 metres to put it back.
It really amazes me how inconsiderate some people are these days, and I bet they'd be the first to kick off, if their car was damaged in the same way.
It would be going way off topic, so I'll not get started on some of the stuff that goes on in my work.

Ok so it was raining, but you have to be impressed with some people on their parking skills..
this is one reason i hate my local tesco's as no one seems to be able to park at all..

Pontificating
FPMSL, funniest line on SN in a while You should see the wifes car from the school run, a big dent dead centre on the front of the bonnet (tow bar from a 4x4 ?) and on another ocassion the head lamp was pushed so hard it snapped the bracket and pushed it back into the car (new head lamp required), probably another tow bar from one of the countless 4x4's driven by aloof women wearing stupid Bonoesque sunglasses, big blonde hairdo's £40 quids worth of schlap on their faces, doing U turns as they please, generally annoying all and sundry. They are allowed to park half on half off the pavement, she told me the other morning that one woman came along and asked them all to move along a little bit so she could park her landcruiser she couldn't park in the space available, use a smaller car love, and take off those F*ckin glasses it's grey and overcast for goodness sake, woooah, actually your a well made up pig put them back on ! now i'm just add libbing

Most car parks (especially town centre multi storey ones) seem to have measured the dimensions of the original mini to calculate the size of parking spaces.
I just park away from everyone and walk.But yes,lots of people are sadly very ignorant and rude.
