What’s wrong with America today? If you ask Jason in Los Angeles, it’s people who don’t return their shopping carts. At least, that’s the action that prompted this note (which was originally attached the the upright cart itself).
That note, in turn, inspired this Dadaist creation:

Hey, come now. That’s, like, the nicest shopping cart I’ve ever seen.
Not ghetto at all

The signature of the artist looks a lot like “tagging” — the original sticky note was accurate.

This might be the first note I’ve seen on here that I agree with 100%.
I would punch the second note writer in the face if I met him. Losers that trundle their carts home and them dump them in the hallway are garbage.
His attempt at a tough guy response is hilarious.

I think it’s just a little bit trashy that the first note writer originally spelled ‘carts’ with a ‘k.’

My note would have been:
“I’m not ghetto nor trashy!”
Probably wouldn’t have gotten around to sticking out there though.

This is why ALDI has a cart control system.

If you have to label your art, it ain’t art.

The only way that second note could be MORE ghetto is if Santos had made it a Rap and thrown in “motherfucker” for impact.

Stealing store property and then getting snotty when people call you on it. Super classy.

A local grocery store has started using the carts which have wheels that lock up when taken past a certain point in the parking lot. It’s a great system.
It doesn’t bother me as much to see the homeless people using carts as it does to see the people in my apartment complex taking them. The homeless people use them to move all of their belongings. My neighbors are just lazy assholes.

This one hits me right in the ol’ heart, it does. We have many apartments behind our house where the landlord made an agreement with the county to allow ex-prisoners to live in the apartments as part of a “fresh start” program or whatever they call it here. So every few months we get new neighbors coming in and undoubtedly we get drug dealers, wife beaters, etc. It’s awesome.
Anyways, someone has been going to the grocery store across the street (as in it’s a 3 minute walk if you’re walking slowly) and bringing back their goods in a cart. Where do they leave the carts? In front of MY FENCE, all clumped together and in the way of their own driveway. If I ever catch someone putting their cart there I am going to shoot their eye out (or at least give ‘em hell).

My standard of what is art has become “Would I have at least gotten a C- on this my art classes in college?”. I feel that this would’ve I think this would’ve gotten an F+ (The plus is for the potential excuse of channeling Marcel Duchamp.), so I don’t know that I could consider this art.

There’s a special layer of hell for people who don’t return shopping carts. I get angry when I see carts all over the parking lot taking up spaces, let alone in apartment buildings.

Ah. Apartment Living. PA Neighbors. PA Roommates. PA Landlords. The bigger question is did PA behavior begin at apartments or at the office?

I wonder if this is the Jason in my building in L.A. At any given time, there are at least a dozen carts from the Ralphs on our street in our building that have been brought in by our building’s residents. Of course they never bring them back, but the building’s housekeeper does push them all onto the grass in front of our building about once/week.
It took 5 years to get my next door neighbor to stop leaving several carts in front of my door. He pushes them into the middle of the elevator room now and threw a shit fit when I asked him to put them in the parking lot, especially since I’m the only one who pushes them out of the way so any of us can actually get into or out of the elevator. Our building is filled with assholes like that and the HOA doesn’t care, probably because they’re lazy filthy unemployed slobs whose daddies pay for their Lexuses.
