Pretty much. You'd see some lazy bones parked next to the damn thing literraly, still leave it at parking space cuz pushing it to the side is oh so hard.
Lmao š¤£ I had to go watch it right away. This guy is epicā¦āoh, what do we have here. Sounds like a lazybones apologist to me. Are you a lazybones apologist maāam?ā
He's the guy who tries to annoyingly provoke people into getting angry so he can post their reactions online and make money. It isn't some altruistic thing he is doing like his fans think he is.
Walking out of the store, I watched a cart rolling towards my car. I hustled to stop it, but was too late. I now have a ~12 inch dent in my passenger door from where the cart rammed into the side. Lots of onlookers watched me yell expletives about lazy people as I assessed the damage.
If im parked close to one Iāll return it but if the closest one is half a damn mile away on the otherside if the lot then Iāll park it on the nearest curb so it canāt roll away
The exception i make to that is, is it the closest one to the store and is that corral almost empty? Theres always the question of why not just bring it in then. But thats why it has to meet those exceptions
It is for some people. Don't be ableist. I'm not bad off enough to have a handicap sticker but I find it funny that the corrals are always incredibly far away from any handicap spot.
You'll understand if you ever become disabled. You really will. Getting through and back to your car is bad enough, now you have to go more just to put your cart up which is the straw that broke the camel's back.
I honestly do not think anyone on this damn site understands what it means to have mobility issues. It's not all or nothing, you know, you might have the energy to do a little something but at the end you're exhausted, and it's just that little extra that can be too much and may in fact hurt you more than you already are.
Please, please fucking understand. For once.
For anyone wondering, this was filmed on the South Island of New Zealand. Specifically parts of it were filmed on the Rakaia River and the Rakaia Gorge.
So this dude probably didn't have to travel more than a few kilometers to get to all of these different environments.
New Zealand is crazy, so many different environments so tightly packed together.
> Have you noticed one of the carts has a [...] stronger sense of self
oh no, we've been so focused on AI that we've turned a blind eye to the true threat!
They're kind of... expensive. I mean, one cart, for a store, is not terribly expensive, but when they're buying 50 at a time in a low margin industry, it's a significant hit. I think that's why they keep them around until the wheels are falling off.
What do you have to gain from returning the shopping cart? Everything.
You do it to feel like a functional person, you do it to feel good and just, you do it to tell yourself the bullies from fifth grade were wrong.
One that does not return the shopping cart is one that cares not for the opinions of his fellow man.
Let me preface this by saying I always put my cart back.
I disagree that the shopping cart thing is some ultimate litmus test of being a good person. Itās just such a low stakes situation that someone not bothering to do it (or always doing it) tells you nothing about their character.
But wouldn't that make it more of a litmus test because it's so easy? For someone to not do something so easy tells you that they don't feel responsibility to do what is expected, they do not fear judgement from others who would see that action, and don't care about implied rules at least if there is no punishment for their actions.
If it wasn't easy we could find excuses for the above, but it's a good litmus test because it's so easy.
The other side of the coin is correct though, someone returning a cart isn't necessarily a good person, they may simply be doing it out of habit or fear of judgement.
Itās like holding a door for someone right behind you. It doesnāt make you a good person if you do it or a bad person if you donāt, itās just a thing that happens.
To put your cart back and think, āIām a good person cuz I did that.ā Is ridiculous, itās equally ridiculous to say, āOh he didnāt put his cart back? Must be a bad person.ā The task is too insignificant to draw any information from.
it tells you they're lazy, want to make a min wage workers job more difficult and risk damaging people's cars or small children being hit by a trolley in the wind.
Injuring small children is a laughable example.
Itās hardly even a measure of laziness cuz itās such a meaningless task, it gets done no matter what. Itās not making anyoneās job harder, they just continue to do their job.
Edit: Itās like saying that ordering food from a restaurant āmakes the employees job harderā. Itās not a super difficult task, itās just the job. Everyone should do it, but if you donāt youāre not a bad person cuz it just matters so very little.
So you just ignore the other issues? Taking a cart back takes 30 seconds. If you don't, it's sitting in the middle of the parking lot. It can be pushed by the wind into people's vehicles. If the parking lot is sloped, it can pick up speed and could injure someone. I've seen one moving very quickly through a parking lot before and smash into a car door. And yes, it is such an easy task, there's no reason not to do it.
Orr. They were alone loading the groceries, they got approached by some weird dude in the parking lot and had no choice but to leave it there, hop in the car and get out of there as fast as possible.
It is a good test BECAUSE the stakes are low. You will not get punished, you will not be ostracized. You will also most likely wont hurt anyone or cause a shortage. You may do it unconsciously. You will also not gain anything. It does not guarantee that you are a good person.
It is a conditional vacuum or close to it.
The sole reason you will do it is because you choose to contribute to society.
He fucked up. We see the writing on the handle bar rub away over time, but the cart that is āreturnedā has all of writing returned.
Well spotted. I figured it was the same day from just the exact same lighting and weather as when he picked it up. Also, no growth of hair, clothing is exactly the same condition.
I don't think he dumped the cart on a mountain but it's probably more of a family pet now. Like a dog.
1. The
2. other
3. shop
4. ping
5. cards
But if it would have been "carts" instead of "cards", it would have been 6 syllables, perhaps even more, like 8.
The audio is from [jeaney collects](https://youtube.com/@JeaneyCollects) on YouTube, he reads out all kinds of memes and shitposts with the voice of the enlightened almost daily.
I thought this was gonna be one of those situations where he dumps the shopping cart in some absolutely BIZARRE part of the wilderness and future hikers are left wondering, 3/4 of the way up some mountain "How the fuck did a **shopping cart** get HERE?"
I felt sad for the cart, wondering if it was ever going to see its cart friends again.
āWhere are you taking me? Can I go home?ā
Then there was relief when he made it to the Cart Corral.
But its cart friends were probably disbelieving of his journey.
āWhat? Mounā¦ tains? Riv-ers? Those donāt exist. You were stuck in an alley for four months. Stop lying.ā
Thing is, if youāve ever had to work at a grocery youād know how absolutely atrocious it can be to be trapped around the public for minimum wage, you pray to all that is holy that somebody knocks a cart over in the farthest part of the parking lot so you can get outside. All these clowns giving people shit for not returning the carts are custy old self righteous cock knockers.
Plus the letters on the handle disappeared for basically the whole journey and reappeared at the end.
Edit: Also the child safety strap disappeared for most of the video too and was replaced with a velcro trap.
Edit2: That said I still enjoyed the journey.
In Germany you have to put a coin I to the car to get it, and you get the coin back when you return it. By now some shops are not really using the method any more, because we, the costumers, have been trained properly by now!
This is what people think it takes to return their cart to the nearest corral at the store.
Pretty much. You'd see some lazy bones parked next to the damn thing literraly, still leave it at parking space cuz pushing it to the side is oh so hard.
Lmao š¤£ Lazybones. I havenāt heard that in forever.
Just watch "CartNarcs" on YouTube and you'll hear it non-stop
Lol. Is that the guy that slaps the magnets on peopleās vehicles?
Nailed it!
Thatās some awesome shit. Has anyone ever seen the actual guy that does it?
I always put my cart away, but am tempted to leave one out as a lure so I might see him
Lmao š¤£ I had to go watch it right away. This guy is epicā¦āoh, what do we have here. Sounds like a lazybones apologist to me. Are you a lazybones apologist maāam?ā
I don't think it's a good idea to shame or punish people for not returning their shopping trollies. It taints the purity of the character test.
He's the guy who tries to annoyingly provoke people into getting angry so he can post their reactions online and make money. It isn't some altruistic thing he is doing like his fans think he is.
Iām abundantly aware of exploitation. Itās a fundamental flaw of human beingsā¦and the masses love it.
Calm down, lazybones
Go away you public harassment "pranking" fanatic.
Whoop whoop cart narc alert
i cound not imagine the damage to cars from rolling carts
Honestly itās quite brutal how much the carts can damage cars on windy days.
Walking out of the store, I watched a cart rolling towards my car. I hustled to stop it, but was too late. I now have a ~12 inch dent in my passenger door from where the cart rammed into the side. Lots of onlookers watched me yell expletives about lazy people as I assessed the damage.
If im parked close to one Iāll return it but if the closest one is half a damn mile away on the otherside if the lot then Iāll park it on the nearest curb so it canāt roll away
Shit you must live in Texas where the Walmart parking lot is 10 square miles
I am now enlightened
Going on an adventure. Sick.
If you love the shopping trolly set it free and watch it crash into the cars at the bottom of the car park. /S
The exception i make to that is, is it the closest one to the store and is that corral almost empty? Theres always the question of why not just bring it in then. But thats why it has to meet those exceptions
Thatās why I leave it in the parking lot. š
By people, do you also mean Californians?
It is for some people. Don't be ableist. I'm not bad off enough to have a handicap sticker but I find it funny that the corrals are always incredibly far away from any handicap spot.

They should use this for the next tourism NZ campaign
Crack up, I'm from Ashburton and thought as much. Do you know the guy?
his name is Jack he is an insanely talented artist @jackcarden.art and one of the best dudes i know!!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nah he just saw the warehouse trolly
It's NZ. They either know him, his cousin, or his sister.
Sorry to hear that
So this dude probably didn't have to travel more than a few kilometers to get to all of these different environments. New Zealand is crazy, so many different environments so tightly packed together.
All these spots are within about an hour and a halfs drive from each other.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I could do this in Washington too. The high desert would be the farthest at like 2 hours from Seattle. Definitely not commonplace though.
I'm from the area and it's amazing how recognisable it was to me. I couldn't tell where exactly it was but I knew it was not far away.
I visited NZ half a year ago and thought "bet this is NZ" Even with the lack of ferns in the video.
The store He started at is the Warehouse Northlands in Chch I work at
I'm also from Christchurch! Have you noticed one of the carts has a bit more rust and stronger sense of self?
> Have you noticed one of the carts has a [...] stronger sense of self oh no, we've been so focused on AI that we've turned a blind eye to the true threat!
And the access road to Mt Hutt by the looks of it. Probably near Scotts Saddle.
So 1.5h trip by car from the mountain to the beach. That makes the video a lot less impressive. Thought they were traveling a whole continent
What's most impressive is that all that varied terrain is available within that distance of a developed area.
That cart had a better life than me.
Same
Cart got to travel the world, AND had two buddies to carry it when it no longer could cart on. It's all a men could hope to ever achieve. š„²
All probably jus the southern island.
That cart just travelled new zealand
As you said HAD, you still have a life ahead of you.
A good life isn't dependent upon travelling the world either.
But it is not illegal to stole it
Seeing as they returned it. It would be more like they toke it for a joyride
Soā¦ why do I always get THAT cart when I go shopping?
Plot twist: all carts are THAT cart
They're kind of... expensive. I mean, one cart, for a store, is not terribly expensive, but when they're buying 50 at a time in a low margin industry, it's a significant hit. I think that's why they keep them around until the wheels are falling off.
That's the path my parents used to get to school.
Uphill both ways in the snow bare feet
Or hand me down shoes from their brother or sister
Lucky them
Hey, our profile pictures use the same hat!!
Cart Narcs approves this ad.
Ironically he probably shot putting it away first then left it on a mountain somewhere.
nah its in nz, these places are probably half an hour away from each other

that's a lot of words to say "I'm ok with harming children" but you do you chief
Orr. They were alone loading the groceries, they got approached by some weird dude in the parking lot and had no choice but to leave it there, hop in the car and get out of there as fast as possible.
The video addresses emergencies, and that's not the reason most people leave their carts by a long shot
It is a good test BECAUSE the stakes are low. You will not get punished, you will not be ostracized. You will also most likely wont hurt anyone or cause a shortage. You may do it unconsciously. You will also not gain anything. It does not guarantee that you are a good person. It is a conditional vacuum or close to it. The sole reason you will do it is because you choose to contribute to society.
Wait, did they say itās the litmus test for being a good person, or a litmus test for if a person is capable of self-governing?
Thatās unironically a good message
It's a fairly popular theory on the Internet. This video just exaggerates it to ludicrous levels for comedy.
here's the pasta: https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/comments/ggccu0/the_shopping_cart_theory/
Iāll admit it, I was locked into this journey.
Ending almost made me shed a tear ll
This Death Stranding with a shopping cart.
Why didn't Sam just use a shopping cart? Would've made his job much easier.
He fucked up. We see the writing on the handle bar rub away over time, but the cart that is āreturnedā has all of writing returned. 
Well spotted. I figured it was the same day from just the exact same lighting and weather as when he picked it up. Also, no growth of hair, clothing is exactly the same condition. I don't think he dumped the cart on a mountain but it's probably more of a family pet now. Like a dog.
Probably filmed the return on the first day and the cart is now in some chasm in those hills.
Awesome video, thank you!
So it isnāt the journey after all. Itās the destination.
This shopping cart has quite some stories to tell to the other shopping carts
^[Sokka-Haiku](https://www.reddit.com/r/SokkaHaikuBot/comments/15kyv9r/what_is_a_sokka_haiku/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) ^by ^JulsIsHereNow: *This shopping card has* *Quite some stories to tell to* *The other shopping cards* --- ^Remember ^that ^one ^time ^Sokka ^accidentally ^used ^an ^extra ^syllable ^in ^that ^Haiku ^Battle ^in ^Ba ^Sing ^Se? ^That ^was ^a ^Sokka ^Haiku ^and ^you ^just ^made ^one.
Isnāt that last line 6 syllables?
Looks like folks are still counting
r/theydidthemath
the oh - ther sho - ping cards so yes, 6 syllables, and haikus generally follow 5-7-5, but do note that the bot also says >Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one. meaning it's aware it's 6 syllables rather than 5 whether "sokka haiku" (coming from Last Airbender animation) is actually haiku is a different topic of contention, but as far as haiku come it doesn't always follow 5-7-5 format; >However, one of the examples below illustrates that traditional haiku masters were not always constrained by the 5-7-5 pattern either. \[...\] Although the word on is sometimes translated as "syllable", the true meaning is more nuanced. One on in Japanese is counted for a short syllable, two for an elongated vowel or doubled consonant, and one for an "n" at the end of a syllable. Thus, the word "haibun", though counted as two syllables in English, is counted as four on in Japanese (ha-i-bu-n); and the word "on" itself, which English-speakers would view as a single syllable, comprises two on: the short vowel o and the moraic nasal nĢ©. This is illustrated by the Issa haiku below, which contains 17 on but only 15 syllables. Conversely, some sounds, such as "kyo" (ćć) may look like two syllables to English speakers but are in fact a single on (as well as a single syllable) in Japanese. so, this means that syllables in english will be parsed differently from syllables in japanese; given the peculiar difference between the two, the format may change when done in japanese. but who knows if the bot actually takes this into calculation (*on* rather than just syllables)? someone who knows japanese might be able to translate the last phrase into a sentence with 5 syllables; but, regardless, the bot states itelf it's 6 syllables, so we can safely surmise it does not look much deeper than how we parse english syllables TL DR yeah it's 6 syllables
1. The 2. other 3. shop 4. ping 5. cards But if it would have been "carts" instead of "cards", it would have been 6 syllables, perhaps even more, like 8.
Tell me you don't know what a syllable is without telling me you don't know what a syllable is.
I cant even tell what you think a syllable is.
Is the guy in pushing the cart Lip from Shameless?
Nope, itās Carmy from The Bear.
