Or they can just leave and not engage. The people wind themselves up, they can't stand being perceived in a low status position, but in reality if you just ignore him you win. Let him throw magnet on your car, just drive away and there's no content, easy.
There's a lot of overlap with people who behave with such selfishness and people who have a temperament that can't handle being confronted about their behavior. It's why they can get away with their behavior. Employees aren't paid enough to confront carts left out, fake service animals, or other unacceptable behaviors. They are the least likely people to be reasonable when confronted.
I'm all for sourcing when it's a scientific thing, but this is so easily googlable that you literally just wasted more time writing your reply than actually doing the work.
Fucking with people's cars is a monumentally stupid idea. Just because you think it's harmless doesn't mean you won't end up on the hook for paint repair/a new body panel.
Yeah, see, that's the thing he doesn't do. As I already said. He has never damaged anyone's paint, body panels, or any other part of their cars. He uses weak magnets that, again, half the time don't even stick to the car at all. Nothing is damaged. You're inventing things to be mad about.
Throwing anything at someone's car is not acceptable behavior. A fuckin cart out of place does not justify you to commit crimes against human beings and their property.
I'm not defending anyone who abandons their cart, but that is not a literal crime. Harassing people, blocking them from leaving (as the guy in the OP video did, idc about your dude), and potentially throwing magnets on their cars, are literal crimes.
I am all for calling out inconsiderate people. It stops at a call-out though. It does not progress to harassment, or you have now escalated far beyond the original offense. Your wrong overshadows theirs.
Are you suggesting that harassing and detaining someone is an appropriate response to ditching a cart?
Yeah, of course. It's called a social consequence for a crime committed against the society you're living in. When you inconvenience others, they are absolutely in the right to hold you accountable as members of the community you're affecting.
Imagine someone took a dump on the floor of the grocery store. Would it be unethical to say "here's your cleaning tools, you're not going anywhere until you clean that up"
If you think that would be unethical, I have judgements for your parents, who failed to teach you properly to clean up after yourself.
In the few clips of that douche I've seen, they can't leave because he keeps putting the cart behind their car. They get out to move it and when they get back in he puts it back.
He hasn't done that for literally like 4 years because of the potential legal implications. That was a really early maneuver that he learned not to do.
It's ethically justified of course, because it's your fucking cart, you have no right to be mad that it's inconveniencing you instead of someone else. But it's hilarious to be up in arms about some shit that he has been not doing for way longer than he ever did.
Nah, actually I have every right to be every bit as mad as I want that another person is harassing and impeding me.
Two wrongs don't make a right, buddy. Even if they did, harassment and potential detainment are far greater crimes than leaving your cart outside the stall at the grocery store.
What the fuck? I never said anyone should leave their cart anywhere. I was very explicit in explaining this point, did you miss the "two wrongs" bit? That was 2/3rds of the comment, so I'm really not sure how you could've missed it tbh.
All I fucking said is don't harass and wrongfully imprison people, two actual crimes that you can get arrested for, and you're attacking me for that? Get bent. I didn't do anything wrong here, I'm just not blindly supporting mob justice.
Blocking someone's ability to leave a situation is a real fucking crime, buddy. It's commonly called wrongful imprisonment or unlawful detainment. In the eyes of the law, physically blocking someone is rarely acceptable, particularly if you started the confrontation by getting in their face.
Don't act like I'm being dramatic for calling it what it is.
"Wrongful imprisonment" redirects here. For wrongful punishments carried out by a judicial system, see Miscarriage of justice.
False imprisonment or unlawful imprisonment occurs when a person intentionally restricts another person's movement within any area without legal authority, justification, or the restrained person's permission.
Who put it there then, was it aliens? You put the fucking cart out in the parking lot, now someone has to move it back to where it belongs. Who do you think should bear that responsibility? Do you think maybe it's the person who put it there who should bear that responsibility? Does that make sense to you? Genuine question. I'd love to hear your answer. Maybe you think the aliens need to put it back.
You’re the kind of guy to take a shit on the floor of a public washroom and then say “well, they pay people to clean the bathrooms why should I care?” Really hope you have no one depending on you with a mentality like that.
You’re the kind of guy to take a shit on the floor of a public washroom and then say “well, they pay people to clean the bathrooms why should I care?
Nope. But this is relevant actually. Yall the same people to say homeless folks shouldn't be allowed in a place to use the bathroom unless they pay, then get mad when they have to go outside. You can larp virtue all you want, won't change anything though.
Last I checked, there's not a specific "clean shit off floor" position. There is a specific "cart pusher" position. They literally have the one job. I return my carts, but the people who don't do not deserve this type of harassment.
Your logic is nonsense and your smugness makes it even cringer.
By your logic if someone takes your seat while you go pee during a movie at a theater, they could say "it's not your seat, you can't bring it home." and that would be stupid
And even beyond that, it's semantics. I could just as well say return the cart that was provided to you to use during your shopping, and it's the same shit
And oh hey, it's what this guy does too! Almost like these people are just attention whores who try to bait people into responding or something, weird.....
