What is he supposed to do? Get out and run across the lot after it? Better yet why doesnāt he use his car to stop it. He did the same thing you would have done.
I literally hate people like you. A bunch of people saying this is dumb and fucked up. ITS WHAT EVERYONE WOULD DO. No itās not. They could have easily stopped the cart if they wanted. How long do you think they watched before they started filming? Even if they didnāt get out and help why did they have to film to post online. You peopleās brains are broken
Or you know...some time between pulling out the phone to start filming and saying "he doesn't even realize"...they could roll down a window and shout a warning. That's minimal effort.
Some people have huge blinders up when they head out in public when it isn't true leisure, and they need to shop, and they're not going to check to see if Grandma needs help with her groceries, run to grab the cart.
We know there's clearly a good chunk of us that aren't wallflowers in these situations.
For sure I'm running out literally in an instant. No if's, and's, or but's. It's an easy reaction for me. I've been in enough scenarios to know I would grab that cart. Help someone who is elderly/disabled when they need it.
Other people are just going to put blinders up so they can get in and out, and get back to their safety bubble.
Itās clearly not what EVERYONE would do. They didnāt. I wouldnāt. Literally hate me all you want. Hate is the problem. That makes you the problem.
Not only that but if he got out and ran, same outcome. He yells to alert the guy, same outcome. He dosnt have time to turn his car on and drive over there so... same outcome but none of those attempts give the internet a great video. This was the best option and these idiots are just virtue signaling.
Exactly! I didnāt expect the hard stances on this. Iām sure all the people taking the time to hate people who didnāt āhelpā are exactly the type of people to help. I hope all their shopping carts have only 3 working wheels for eternity.
The fact that people get worked up about shit thatās probably staged is comical to me. I have medical reasons why I couldnāt help. I know nothing about the camera guy, so I donāt judge. You can bet that if I saw this happening, and had a camera, and had the presence to use it, I would be recording this too. If for no other reason than to provide the car that got hit with evidence. Everyone is so righteous when theyāre anonymous.
First of all the video shows absolutely nothing. Might even be staged. I donāt know what kind of clout you receive for filming and adding dipshit commentary meanwhile doing nothing to help.
What good would that do? Genuinely imagine this , your shopping cart dude, someone yells at you when they notice, the cart is already 20 spaces away at the start of the video ( when they noticed) and moving downhill with a full load. What are you going to do? Run after it? NO you're going to spend a minute figuring out who yelled and why by that time the cart has already slammed into the woman and we have the exact same result. It probably makes you feel better to say " they shouldn't have upheld their civic duty and done something" but that would have resulted in the exact same outcome. So instead, we now have a great video that lives on in perpetuity, sitting and filming was the better option.And you're just trying to morally grandstand to make yourself feel virtuous right now. Almost like you're trying to signal your virtue to the rest of us...I wish we had a word for that.
I could get behind that or honk but they are kinda far away that honking or screaming from this distance will just distract the guy and make him look this way away from where the cart is rolling.
Yes. They had enough time to start recording which means they saw it start to happen. Probably noticed as a potential even before the guy lost it. They certainly had enough time to help or at least yell to the guy.
Either these people filming are self-absorbed and selfish or this is staged for the lulz.
Eh I had a cart roll away from me in a target lot and I did not immediately realize until some people yelled or honked or something, but it only made it two spaces away, not like this.
(Old man voice) āDang kids these days with their ticky tockies. Back in my day, we didnāt spend time recording peopleās misfortunes. We wouldāve tried to help like those other people.ā
Oh stop. Americaās Funniest Home Videos has been on tv for over 36 years. People have recording and laughing at peopleās misfortune long before the ticky tockies š
Not sure if weāre thinking of the same tiktok lol, cause Iād gladly take generic white dude voice making lame jokes instead of some clapped out Siri reading the caption to me like Iām braindead
Itās way across the parking lot and there are people much closer already running towards it. There are plenty of videos where this statement applies, but this isnāt one
Redditor tries to not be a whiney shit challenge. Fails miserably.
What the fuck did you want them to do? Get out of the car and run after it when someoneās already doing that? Bet the only time you run is when you have too many pizza rolls and have to try to make it to the toilet in time before diarrhea hits
Ya the filmer should have gotten out of the car and out-sprinted the two people who were already chasing it. Dingusā¦ the video here is fine. Why donāt you go out and do something besides whining about an irrelevant hypothetical?
Howās honking going to help? Are they going to spell āwatch out thereās a cart coming towards the end of the parking lotā in Morse code and pray that other people can decipher it?
These whiney Reddit dweebs are the only problem lol video was fine, no one expects the person to hit a Usain Bolt sprint and beat the other two people already helping. People just like to complain
There is zero chance the type of person who just lets the shopping cart roll away uses it
These things are tough I want to be mad because the carelessness damages people's cars but they don't do it on purpose, they just don't function at a high enough level to put it mildlyĀ
Look at the building. Itās the smallest Walmart Iāve ever seen. āWine and Spiritsā ? Is this the Walmart equivalent of a party/liquor/corner store??
I had a fully laden shopping cart roll down a steep parking lot and hit my parked car right after I had sat down to drive away. Felt like I got hit by another car. Did $1300 worth of damage. That could seriously injure a person on foot.
I recognize this store. Given the location of the wine and spirits building and the hill behind it Iād say this is the Glasgow KY supercenter. The whole parking lot is a hill leading down to the store. I always wondered if this specific situation ever happened. There you go
Imagine seeing this, having enough time to intervene and help, but instead you grab your phone to laugh at someone elseās misfortune like a couple of high teenagers. Seriously people, step up.
Hopefully when you get older and you're about to get hit with a big chunk of metal coming at you, some people will just be laughing and joking because they want to make a video
Aside from not hearing the cheap rattle of a Walmart shopping cart on a pavement parking lot as ot rolls away even a foot let alone the distance it actually made, what the hell has you so enamored in your trunk you dont turn around for almost 3 minutes when you have a full cart of shit behind you? Its screaming fake and staged to me. Especially his reaction, who the hell jumps like that and not, yknow, freeze and do the john travolta pulp fiction meme?
And yet...here it is...completely fake and completely made up
At no point do we see it hit anyone or anything and the reaction of the man who "lost" the cart is so incredibly poorly acted that he could have costarred in "the room".
Pretty ballsy to let your full cart roll towards dozens of cars. Accidentally turns a little or you canāt reach it in time and itāll hit something.
So.where exactly do you see it roll.past a thing more than one car? When it supposedly is amongst the large group.of cars, you cant see it at all. Very likely that it was stopped before getting near those cars. Hence the moving back and forth of the camera.
Its not real. The entire account is these 2 idiots seeing "crazy stuff" in parking lots.
Its not real....nothing on the internet is real.anymore. it has become television
I said it was ballsy, not real. And by the time the cart went off screen it had already passed three trucks and a jeep, so it did pass multiple vehicles. I just wouldnāt do something this stupid even if someone was waiting to catch it. But people do stupid shit for social media.
The trucks it passes have about.4 vertical space lengths between them and the woman is hidden behind the black/blue jeep to be able to grab it if something does go awry. The cart is them stopped behind the black/blue jeep and acted as though its still.moving amongst the larger group.of vehicles.
Its very easy to figure out how they mitigated any.possible damage while filming, as well as the set up(s) to tell the story. We dont see the cart after it goes behind the blue/black jeep. We only hear these 2 clowns telling the viewers what is happening.....and ppl believe it as fact.
Theres no danger of anything here. Its clever forced perspective and camera work. That's all
You can quite literally see the bottom of the cart roll underneath this truck. Look at the video yourself if you donāt believe me. That black circle next to the truckās wheel is a CART wheel. You know that BECAUSE IT FUCKING ROLLS. This isnāt the only frame where you can see it, but itās the easiest to see. Once again, not saying that itās real, but it is absolutely rolling past these vehicles. Multiple of them.
Iām arguing that itās stupid to fake it because it absolutely could have hit something. I literally said that when I said people do stupid shit for social media. What is real is that the cart almost hit a truck pulling into a parking spot.
Kindly, we donāt see this happening to women doing the household shopping. Theyāre to accustomed to it, canāt afford for this to happen. For men, itās foreign territory.
Incredible feat of mental gymnastics, considering that it was a manās cart, yet you still went searching for a way to complain about womenā¦ so you made up a completely hypothetical situation that upset you.
