To mess with abandoned trollies?

[Dannii689]

I cannot stand abandoned shopping trollies in supermarkets...as a wheelchair user I find it difficult enough to navigate the aisles when it's busy etc, without people's carts lying in the way. I tend to react passive aggressively to this, and either hide their trollies or add lots of items to them. It is a way of venting to me. If I get pulled up by said trolley abandoner, I usually remind them that trollies have wheels and can go where they go too.

I’m not really a trolley abandoner, but your awful attitude now makes me want to be.

Your comment about other disabled people being “cute”, perhaps becaus they can walk despite mobility issues, is shocking and you should be ashamed of yourself.

What a strange thing to do and time consuming too. You have no idea why the trolley has been abandoned.

If the supermarket is busy why spend more time in there than you need to mucking about with other peoples trolleys?

I don't mind the trolleys abandoned at the side of the isle. I will move them to get sonething. The ones left in the middle get shoved to one side as I havnt the time. What I really fucking hate is the groups of people standing chatting and blocking everything. Take it outside people. Im trying to shop like its supermarket sweep here and you're disrupting my flow.

I swear OP, you are just having a laugh here at the expense of disabled people wheelchair users. And yes, I know a few wheelchair users. I think, you’re mocking us.
People leave trolleys when the isles are jammed with other trolleys and the assistants are filling the shelves with items using those huge carts. The same carts that are left on the isles because the assistants get interrupted every 10 second to take someone to isle 13 to show them where the tinned bean soup is or where the peanuts are.
Would you rather have everyone jammed their trolleys and you were unable to move or finding the occasional trolley around?

What a fool.
You’ve obviously never worked in retail.
Most things that customers fuck up come back to the staff.
And the majority of the general public are twats that treat staff in retail like shit.even those who have never worked -never intend to - and spend all their benefit money on scratchcards

I think it is considerate to leave a trolley out of the way, tucked in next to a wall if I need to rush up a very crowded isle to get one item. Also, occasionally someone might need to leave a trolley because a child is about to wet himself or something; why would you want to cause that person extra grief?

You're up your own arse, aren't you? You are obviously the only person in the world with any problems and any obstacle should be taken as a personal affront. YABU and passive aggressive and goady.

I've never seen abandoned trolleys. The other day I popped round the corner in Lidl to pick up some milk and left the trolley for 15 seconds as it was vastly easier (for everyone else as well) to run and get the forgotten item than push the vast, 3/4 full trolley round the corner to do so. Then I carried on with my otherwise very methodical approach to shopping! What annoys me is people "double parking" their trolley so no-one can then proceed down the aisle, while they have a debate with their other half about what to buy. I afraid I bustle in, push their trolley out of the way and grab the item I need.

What do you do to cars parked on the pavement leaving 1 foot of space for wheelchair users/prams to get through or face the death dodge with cars? I am a little bit a lot excited to hear this answer OP.

I think so. You have no idea why the trolley is abandoned. I left one once because my son, who is SN, was extremely distressed and I had to quickly move him to a different aisle.

I’m poor and have chronic pain problems. But sure, feel superior and enjoy your little power play.

You're up your own arse, aren't you? You are obviously the only person in the world with any problems

Exactly. Only OP is disabled and needs compassion.

Im trying to shop like its supermarket sweep here and you're disrupting my flow.

T1M2N3T4, hahaha!

Bet you feel a bit of a twat now OP.

Please stop this. I use to work in a super market. The staff all work hard enough. Push the trolly to one side if it is in your way.
I've on occasion left a trolly for few seconds for reasons mentioned above.

You sound like a treat OP

Trolley abandoner over here 👋🏼.

I do and I will continue to abandon my trolley at the end of an isle or in the next, empty isle if the actual isle I want is already rammed full of other trolleys and people to the point where you can't navigate it. Me going down there with yet another trolley is not going to help, is it.

I've never, to my knowledge, had my shopping messed with be it added to or things taken away but if I did I wouldn't see the error of my ways and change my habits I'd actually just think the person doing it was a bit of an idiot.

Please put some extra s in mine

YABU. First of all, are you really that bored? My 90 year old Nan does this sometimes because she finds it hard to navigate the trolley round crowded aisles. She'll leave it at the end where everyone can get around it. Shopping's already a huge issue for her but she likes to do it to keep her independence. She'd be mortified and really upset if some childish idiot like you messed with her trolley and put extra things in it. It's just pathetic, I suggest you get a hobby.

You said cart OP, no one calls them carts in the UK, are you in the US, Where trollies are those huge truck sized plastic trollies?

I digress, I leave my trolley and nip up the aisles quite simply to avoid traffic jams in the aisles. I do however park it neatly against the shelf and have no objection to it being moved.

I do get annoyed with abandoned trolleys, but this is beyond understanding. Some poster explained they may have mobility issue, and OP taking a mick. Very unpleasant.

You've got too much time on your hands OP. Find a hobby.

as a wheelchair user I find it difficult enough to navigate the aisles when it's busy etc, without people's carts lying in the way

I use one hand to manoeuvre chair (it's electric) and the other hand to hold onto trolley. Never thought I'd have to explain that lol.

Find it difficult to navigate the aisles because you're a wheelchair user, but you manage to get through the busy aisle with your wheelchair and pushing a trolley alongside you??

You sound like an utter arsehole OP, someone leaves their trolley for a few minutes and because it's 'in your way' you put a whole shelf of a product into it? What about the kind of day that person is having? What about the shop assistant who has to clean up your mess? Did you consider all of the reasons that someone might have to leave their trolley?

If you are able bodied enough to put a whole shelf of products into someone's trolley, or move it to another place entirely then you are able bodied enough to move a trolley aside for a moment whilst you pass.

Talk about fucking entitled.

And to the poster who said the OP needed compassion because they were disabled - why? The OP has no respect for others so why should others afford respect for them? Respect is earned.

Who has time to think about anything like this in the supermarket?
