Fun story time that, for legal reasons, is a complete fabrication:

Was going food shopping one weekend. No smaller carts inside so walked out and went to one of the drop offs to grab one. On the way back, I see someone put their car into reverse from the "ramp". Some people stop and wait for them to leave. I just keep walking and pushing my cart while considering my speed "just in case".

They IMMEDIATELY peel out and smash into the cart. It goes under their tire and rips off most of the bumper and pops their tire (which was fucking terrifying). They get out and start screaming at me and threatening to call the cops and kick my ass. I explain "So... you are going to call the cops and explain to them you didn't look when backing up from an illegal parking space and hit a pedestrian? I'm in a bit of a rush but I guess I can stick around for that". Lady who was trying to get her walker out of her car even volunteers to be a witness.

Had a good old laugh and walked to get a new cart. They were still there freaking out when I left the store.

    Love that you had to insert a remark on capitalism even though this has nothing to do with that

    I dunno. Is it the capitalist part or the hellscape part? Maybe if Rich people were as generous as they pretended they are and we lived in a Capitalist Utopia it wouldn't be a problem?

    So in a communist sosciety you wouldnt need those good stories but because of "our capitalistic hellscape" you do? How come? What has this story have to do with capitalism? Absolutely nothing! You just had to rub your (unreasoned) opinion into everyone's face.
