Crazy Shopping Cart Guy! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

J-Spec C10 · 01-06-2003, 09:56 PM

So its snowing tonight (as usual) and its like -15C so I park out front of the supermarket. My buddy was just running in for a bottle of coke and I wasn't directly in front of the door.

Next thing you know,.... WHAM!!... some old guy (like 70) who works there drives a row of shopping carts into the back of my truck. He starts hitting the box side and yelling at me to move my truck. I looked right at him ( trying to remain calm) and flipped him a digit. Then I put it in reverse and launched his carts (still resting on my bumper) across the lot.

So I was parked in the yellow zone, I was sitting in the truck. It's not like I was parked there and went inside. IF he had just asked I would have moved.

Was I wrong? Afterall, he hit my truck....

feedback?.....

i was gonna say something about how he should have done a reverse burnout while he was launching the carts, but then he wouldnt get all the traction he could to launch them farther

**old Rusty C10** · 01-06-2003, 11:55 PM

after i ;aunched the carts, id have beat the crap out of the guy who smashed into my truck then i woulda went into the store and forced them to pay one way or another for any damage to my truck lol you dont mess with my truck
then id have ennnrolled in anger management classes cause it impresses the jury

J-Spec C10 · 01-07-2003, 12:43 AM

hmmm... burnout eh? its not so easy to do with 32x10's on ice,.....

Every day I drive in the winter its like trying out for Disney on Ice !!

79BIG10 · 01-07-2003, 12:53 AM

You're truck was there and he intentionally hit it. His fault plain and simple. I would have jumped out and yelled "WHIPLASH!!!" LMAO!!

J-Spec C10 · 01-07-2003, 12:57 AM

my neck is kinda sore.....

85Silverado · 01-07-2003, 01:36 PM

way to go!!!

PHOENIX · 01-07-2003, 01:58 PM

Well done? but no shots were fired.... j/k

You should have gone inside and spoke with the manager about the damage he caused to your vehicle. You were in the yellow (loading and unloading zone, or picking up or dropping off a passenger). You are right.

LOHRTBT · 01-07-2003, 02:39 PM

Oh I beg the walmart tards to slam into the back of my truck with a train of carts!!! hahaha $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

PHOENIX · 01-07-2003, 02:54 PM

Yeah I heard Dave carries a neck brace in his glove box (or as he calls it the neck brace box) for just that kind of thing.

LOHRTBT · 01-07-2003, 03:01 PM

LOL

if they ever do , you could really screw them

Wally World has a policy that they are to push no more then 10 carts at a time and they must be tied together and handled by two cart fetchers

They hit you and your in good

Low87 · 01-07-2003, 05:17 PM

If you want some after hours fun/revenge, do this; We used to do it on the way home from the club in college. You need one driver and one passenger. Drive to the store parking lot and find a loose cart. Drive up to it and have the passenger reach out the window and hold on to the front of the cart. Accelerate (go as fast as you care) towards a light pole in the parking lot (keeping it to your passenger side). Then, have the passenger aim the cart at the pole, when you get about 10 ft away turn left as the passenger lets go of the cart. This will require some coordinated skill. If done properly, the cart will fly somewhat backwards in the air doing a series of flips and sport a nice dent in the front. We called this past time "rustling". I'm not condoning random vandalism, but if a grocery store (including any employee acting on their behalf, ESPECIALLY the cart guy!) gives you reason to rustle, go for it.

c10scotty · 01-07-2003, 05:23 PM

that sucks man, kinda funny though. any damage?

J-Spec C10 · 01-08-2003, 01:31 PM

nope, no damage. i'm just glad I still had the factory bumper on there. I was going to install the rollpan last week, but hadn't got to it yet.

If it was on already, then I woulda been pi$$ed!
