The cat was out and about and I made it out of the grocery store without a shout. But that was too good to be true. A nut still found me at my zoo. Seems to be the way each and every day.
Threw things in the car,
Didn't have to go far.
But had to use a cart.
Used my sleeves to touch the nasty part.
Those huge gallon jars of water aren't light.
Need the germy cart at my site.
That and 50 pounds of kitty litter,
Carrying those would make me bitter.
Anyway, where was I?
Oh yes, I caught ones eye.
A cranky old fart.
Who loved a straight cart.
I shoved mine in,
Off I was ready to spin.
It was in there,
With room to spare.
But nope, that was wrong,
As she said her song.
It shouldn't go in like that.
Nope, not where she is at.
She straightened it for all.
Straightened the shopping cart stall.
Made their job easier she said.
I just shrugged and nodded my head.
Then I was so bad.
I made her mad.
I didn't straighten mine.
It did not align.
Oh no, the world is over.
Call a butt sniffing rover.
The carts weren't straight.
Not even my OCD can relate.
I just drove away,
As she had her say.
Yep, told all of my crooked cart,
That I didn't take to heart.
Wasted her time,
With a chime,
To whoever would hear.
Maybe she has a crooked cart fear?
Ever get nuts like that? Do you put them in all nice and neat where you shop at? Pfffft if there is space they get shoved in. If no space, I shove them together in the shopping cart bin. Easy as can be. Cranky old people can bite me. And there was some shopping cart sass. I guess you never know what shall come from my little rhyming ass.
Experience spring, have a fling.

Back to a streak

I hate when the shopping carts get stuck together and I can't pull them apart. They probably get that way from people like that lady, making them super straight. ;)
ReplyDeletelol yeah, that sure is a pain
DeleteSe sure wanted them in the straight lane
A Straight Cart Taken To Heart!
ReplyDeleteMade efforts so they looked smart
Grouped together
Made it easier
No big deal though but a good start
Hank
Wanted it done
DeleteMust have found it fun
Shopping always has its awkward moments. Nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat it will
DeleteAs one gets their fill
At least you put yours in the stall. Real jerks leave them in parking spaces. Even when the stall is ten feet away.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd never leave it there
DeleteSome jerks just don't care
Oh, to this I agree and then on a windy day those carts take flight playing bumper cars
Deleteleaving their mark.
Bumper carts
DeletePissing off all in Wal-Marts
haha - bumper carts - why didn't I think of that...
DeleteSome things just pop in
DeleteFor the win
Shove the carts in any old way
ReplyDeleteIn a windstorm there they stay
Carts left in a lot go on a banging spree
Hit car after car, maybe damage two or three
Yeah, shove it in shove it in
DeleteSo the wind doesn't take it for a spin
I have my main shopping of the week delivered as I have no transport and can't carry a great amount about.
ReplyDeleteWonderful read as always.
Yvonne.
An easy way
DeleteThere at your bay
I always put the cart in the stall, but I just sort of give it a push, I don't care if they align as long as a cart doesn't hit me from behind...haha...
ReplyDeletehaha yeah, no aligning will come due
DeleteShove it in and hope it doesn't come back at you
I think I need to get me a grocery cart to buzz around the house.
ReplyDeleteYou'd have a grand time
DeleteBreaking things may cost more than a dime
Haha, Pat! People get bent out of shape over the silliest things! I try to be thoughtful in most things I do, but a grumpy person like that would bring out my bad side too. I will be computerless in an hour. Will be back when I have my computer. Take care!
ReplyDeleteThey can sure annoy
DeleteHopefully no computer time brings joy
Look what I discovered, Pat! I can find you on my phone! Now I just need free wifi! So maybe I can catch your posts once and a while! I can even take my comments! Could be dangerous ha ha!
DeleteDictate take my comments
Deletehaha dictate can screw with you
DeleteAs wrong words come due
I'm just happy people put them away
ReplyDeleteinstead of leaving them all through the parking lot
it makes a big mess when they do it that way
and I pity the person who has to gather them up, especially if its hot
betty
Yep, can suck in many a way
DeleteIf they don't put them in the bay
As OCD as I can be, even I don't worry about straight grocery cart lines. As long as carts are put into a stall and not floating about the lot, it's all good. (now about that busted kitty litter bag that left a trail all over the store...)
ReplyDeletehaha I've seen a few such bags do that
DeleteYep, straight carts don't bother the cat
Nope, I just shove them here and there and everywhere.
ReplyDeleteWorks indeed
DeleteShove them in at your feed
Straight lines don't concern me- as along as I can tell where the line is and I always hope it moves along at a good pace. :)
ReplyDelete~Jess
Yeah, that is a good hope
DeleteOne in which one can cope
I really hate it when people don't push carts IN as far as they will go. Makes such a lot of work for those who later collect them. I try not to think of the germiness of carts, though if I thought about it enough I would go a bit crazy. But I doubt they are as germ-filled as the remotes in a hotel. Ewwwww!
ReplyDeleteYeah, shove them in good and then go
DeleteBlah, is the germs on it and a remote in tow
Old people are often too cranky for their own good
ReplyDeleteThat they are
DeleteAt their sand bar
Often, when I shop at Costco and I don't usually run into grocery packing problems as they have very large reusable bags that we use. Also, I don't ever take my cat shopping.
ReplyDeleteThe cat wouldn't like that
DeleteAt many a mat
Most stores here have wipes where you can wipe the carts before you use them.
ReplyDeleteGood way to be
DeleteAs they are nasty
Here you pay a quarter
ReplyDeleteBefore you get your cart
All chained in a straight line
It's really quite the art
That isn't here
DeleteHopefully not near
She'd hate me...I will, at times, just send the cart flying from my car across the lane and into the pen hitting the other carts with a ping
ReplyDeletehaha hey, as long as it goes in
DeleteThat is the win
As long as I get it in the corral, I don't care if it's straight or not. They should be happy I didn't just leave it in the parking lot all willy nilly.
ReplyDeleteNot this nut
DeleteShe was sure in a straight rut
Cranky cart lady can take a hike.
ReplyDeleteBossy people I do not like!
That is true
DeleteToss the lot in the loo
I'm only OCD about stuff at my own house!
ReplyDeleteSame with me
DeleteLet the rest be
not easy to handle a cart if there there's no drive in the heart
ReplyDeleteBut a fart of gas
DeleteMay get you a pass
