3) It's not the shopping carts' fault, but most of the people who operate them are idiots. The idea that an unattended shopping cart in the middle of an aisle might somehow obstruct other people's ability to traverse said aisle seems to be beyond the cart operators' conceptual skills. And when two morons who haven't seen each other in ages happen to meet in a grocery store aisle and decide to have a mini-family/high school reunion on the spot, just forget about doing any shopping on that aisle. Go on to the next one and come back after the two morons, their two shopping carts, and accompanying six children have finished their gabfest and moved on elsewhere.

Agreed. Agree with BWL's whole post, for that matter.

BUT HE FORGOT TO MENTION THE GODDAM STUPID &%$&()S PARKED IN THE AISLE TO BLATHER ON THEIR LOATHSOME CELL PHONES WITH SOMEONE AT HOME ABOUT WHETHER THEY SHOULD BUY THIS, THAT, OR THE OTHER THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAY LUCIFER OPEN A NEW, DEEPER, PIT IN HELL FOR THEM AND FOR THE PEOPLE WHO SELL THE GODDAM PHONES!!!!!!!!!!!!
