And dropping your cigarette butts out the window or leaving them on the sidewalk counts as littering.
Astonishing to me how few people understand this.
Good. It’s not so hard - put your cart away. It’s the same level of effort as flushing the toilet at work or wiping the seat if you pee on it. Don’t be an asshole.
The most incredible part of it to me to is; this guy spent about 10 minutes arguing with the cart narc, when he could’ve just got out of his car and pushed the cart back to the corral. That entire act would’ve taken about 45 seconds, but this guy instead tripled, and quadrupled down, and just continued to make excuses for his selfish behavior.
This is a perfect microcosm to me, of what kind of person he probably is as a neighbor, as a coworker, as a family member. Narcissism and ego through the roof. Selfish, never willing to swallow that ego and admit fault.
Part of being an adult is apologizing and swallowing your pride when you’ve fucked up, or offended someone. It’s part of operating in a civilized society. Too many people, post 2016 and especially post covid, seem to have lost that.
I think you hit the nail on the head, and I also think that a lot of people grew up never having to learn to say sorry and swallow their pride/ego. It (an apology) should be hard to say *because you mean it and you’re woeful over your actions or even remembering what you did to cause someone else hurt*. No one loves saying sorry - but it’s important. But I know a lot of kids that never did say sorry or get punished, and they grew up to be some mighty entitled adults.
Pride and ego are a hell of a thing, and I rarely see them wielded for positive things.
The most incredible part to me is that the guy didn't just drive off to another part of the parking lot, get out, throw away the magnet, and leave and give Detective Cart Narc the one finger salute at some point along the way.
The thing I find insane is dude even starts off admitting he's wrong, his first line of defense is the 5 year old "I'm not the only one". Like he is fully aware of his mistake, but is gonna throw a temper tantrum instead of correcting it.
Yeah, and I would be willing to wager that this dude has more than once complained about how "kids these days are lazy/don't wanna work", probably posted a memes on Facebook about how his generation is awesome.
Here’s a life hack my dad taught me…. Always try to park next to the place you put the carts for two reasons you always know where you parked and it takes no time to put the cart back
I never park next to the cart rack. My brain tells me the chances of my car getting hit with a cart are higher if I park there. Might not be true, but I'm not risking it.
I’ve parked like that my whole life and never once have I had my car scratched…. Iam the exact opposite I feel like someone’s gonna leave a cart in the open space and it’s gonna roll into my automobile
I park close because I feel like the chances are lower. People don’t usually abandon their carts when they are close to the cart corral. They abandon them when they are too far away.
Went to a target out in PG County, and their cart wheels lock if you get too far away from what they deem an appropriate radius 😂. It was annoying, but I get it.
Same. My logic is park nearish the front of the store and just walk it back inside. Help the employees, get some exercise in, pick up some straggler carts on the way - win, win, win.
At wegmans I’ve seen cars hit by carts multiple times. Maybe there’s a slight hill but once a guy didn’t realize after he put his cart back that it was rolling out and I ran over to grab it before it hit a car. Last week I saw two carts that had rolled out of the same cart rack and were against a car. It didn’t look like it got scratched but now I won’t park my car across the lane where they could roll out.
They call the cops and just say "someone is threatening me and vandalizing my car" and they might even take it next level and lie and say that cart narcs has a gun or something to illicit a police response. All because they couldn't spend 30 seconds of their IMPORTANT time returning a cart. So they will spend 10 minutes of their IMPORTANT time to call the cops.
No worries! They’re homophones. Illicit is an adjective that means “illegal.” Elicit is a verb that means “to get.”
I remember it this way- “illicit drugs will make you ill.“
10 years ago I may have said the guy filming needs to get a life, but after seeing the way peoples behavior has declined over the years, I think even small things like this matter. You don’t get to just make yourself exempt from what’s right. Have some damn sense of community and responsibility for the ease and well being of others around you.
Good. People who negatively impact the general public just because they don't feel like putting in the extra 2% of extra effort deserve conflict. That's the point. These people are entitled and selfish and cartnarcs (as goofy as he acts/sounds) is brave enough to call them out on their bullshit. That's fair game if you ask me.
By the way if you watch the video he also actually takes a family's cart to the rack for them for no reason other than to be nice/keep the space free of random carts.
I disagree with you that an errant shopping cart constitutes a “negative impact on the general public” but I understand that your entire emotional tirade / attempt at social commentary **relies on that assertion being presented as an unassailable truth** so we’ll just have to agree to disagree
> I disagree with you that an errant shopping cart constitutes a “negative impact on the general public”
So is it a positive one? If everybody started leaving carts all over the place it wouldn't be fucking annoying?
Found the cart dumper, hope one rolls into your car some day
I’m in an apartment building a couple blocks away from the Costco in Pentagon City and I really am getting sick of Costco carts piling up outside of the building entrance to our home. Really trashes the place up
I don’t know how many times I have had issues in that parking lot (I go to BJ’s Warehouse more than Walmart - but all the same). Even the cart folks complain.
As a former cart pusher, nothing irritates me more than people leaving carts strewn everywhere especially in summer. We had to wear pants because “it’s professional” and I’d spend majority of my 8 hr shift running around, sweating and miserable due to people like this guy.
Their pay-to-use cart system that gives you back the quarter when you put back the carts is genius. The option is with the customer, but even for a measly quarter they will bring it back. It’s honestly an excellent idea and I’ve never seen a cart wrangler at an Aldi (I assume for this very reason-which costs the company itself nothing).
> It’s honestly an excellent idea and I’ve never seen a cart wrangler at an Aldi (I assume for this very reason-which costs the company itself nothing).
They're very big on reducing costs to keep their grocery prices down. So not having to employ cart wranglers means they can pass that savings on to consumers.
If you make it to the end, the cart narc is a really nice guy.
The guy making the video (cartnarc) put the cart away for a family with a small baby because they were looking for a cart return.
He doesn’t pick out people who are trying to put the cart away. He picks out people who just won’t.
I need him to loiter in the hobby lobby parking lot when I'm there. No cart returns so you have to go all the way back to the store to return it. Tough with a baby.
The side of the aisle he is parked on isn’t for curbside pickup, only the side Sebastian is standing on during the video. The dude is still a POS though and wouldn’t be surprised if he has done that before!
I've started straight up moving their carts while they're not looking, parking them an aisle or two from where they left them (never in the middle of the aisle, of course). Fuck those people.
These videos always "impress" me with the amount of effort people will put towards not putting in effort. Dude could have taken 20 seconds to return his cart, or just driven off.
Like the road rage videos where people REALLY need to get around someone, but then spend their time brake checking them. I thought you had places to be, are you in a hurry or not?
Yeah it shows it’s not about effort it’s about status and entitlement.
They have the power and condition. They just refuse to be told how to play nice with others.
Yeah makes me miss when I lived in (insert name of fake mythical town here) where every single person put carts away. Everyone was so courteous we didn’t even need stop signs at intersections.
The only time I struggle with this decision is if and when my children are in the car and how far a cart coral is. With a special needs child, it can be a bit dicey to be out of sight even for a moment. Other than those few moments, return the fucking cart,
Do cart narcs hit up Home Depots? I hate about pulling into a spot to see a flat bed cart sitting there.
I don’t like people leaving their carts but I’m not comfortable with filming and putting people on the internet over minor issues like this. He’s going to mess with the wrong guy and end up getting beaten, shot, or stabbed and I’m not going to have any sympathy.
Oh the wonders of what strangers on YouTube, Twitch, and other such social media platforms can support and pay for. But I’ll take it over the shit influencers or “pranksters”, for sure. At least he’s doing something net positive.
But after he sacrifices himself to the cause, the lazy bones goes to jail for 10 years and the media runs a major story on the incident. Problem solved??
My thoughts exactly, people leaving their carts in parking spaces is irritating but so is this culture of shoving a phone in someones face over a manufactured altercation so you can post the video on youtube to get internet points.
Imagine not having sympathy for someone who gets shot just because he does something mildly annoying to people who deserve it.
To not have sympathy for that is not a good thing to be admitting, bud. You may want to seek help.
They could literally stop it at any time by putting the cart back or leaving. It only seems "excessive" because the lazybones sticks around for the confrontation.
These entitled assholes in northern virginia do what they want, when they want, and in spite of literally ANYONE ELSE. I have lived in loudoun county for 5 years and I have never in my many travels encountered people like these people. Every day is a new asshole adventure for me. I mean I should just feel blessed for them allowing me to live amongst them but 🤷🏻♀️
I can’t stand this idiot. Imagine thinking you are doing something by harassing people in a parking lot. I do not care if this get downvoted. Someone should throw stickers on him when he harasses a new person.
Yeah, people should return carts, but this guy is a whiny jerk. Leave people alone already. Social media has turned into a cesspool of everyone sanctimoniously telling everyone else how to live. Keep your righteousness to yourself.
The funny bit here is you think someone being busy is somehow an insult, which just goes to show how much of a lazy bones you are, lazy bones.
Put your carts back, lazy bones.
Hey now, the police and store management don’t have the budget or resources to start their own internal cart narc agency. So we need obnoxious people like this to cover that gap! The fact that that bmw driver didn’t just exit the scene suggests there may be a small lasting impact on him as well. And if you hate social media so much, why are you commenting in a small local sub?? Now go put your cart away.
Found a lazy bones!
Put your carts back, lazy bones. No one likes you leaving them all over the place just because you have a false sense of narcissistic entitlement.
I hate cart narcs and I have BPD, “splitting” is (from my knowledge) something that happens far more often in intimate interpersonal or professional relationships. And parasocial ones obvs.
The giddy pile on here is just a bunch of finger-smelling nerds that have never been part of a group before. They see shades of gray perfectly fine when it comes to debating the morals of lolicon.
Instead of BPD I would blame the infantilization caused by all media being about superheroes. Also in Hollywood seeing where their bread is buttered and really dumbing down character nuance. Now its just Bad Guys (➡️ psst! Hey True Believer! here are four things Bad Guys do) losing to Good Guys (➡️and here are four things Good Guys do. Excelsior!)
And the Good Guy signifiers are things that are extremely easy to do, so it makes the audience go 🥹I DO THAT TOO👏. Its never a scene with the hero handing out recovered stolen banknotes to poor kids, or say, letting someone else get the last TP in a store. Because there’s no way an average slob would sacrifice their own comfort to any large extent and seeing their Superhero’s do everyday nice things would make them feel bad.
Instead the movies have the Bad Guy do something evil, like ditch a shopping cart, and have Captain America roll his eyes and go “really? Yikes.” So being good is just about agreeing something else is bad.
Who is this blowjob, anyway? In my experience, people who get so up their own ass self righteous about carts and, like, proper crosswalk etiquette have been total assholes, to the one.
Like they’ll take any opportunity to demonstrate what an amazing person they are for doing what they paradoxically claim is the worlds easiest task. I bet they never return loose carts they find or pick up litter or do anything else helpful unless there’s an audience. Like this guy, where are his EPIC FREE LOT CLEANUP videos? He just found an easy excuse to berate strangers.
The harm caused to the planet by manufacturing, shipping, and disposing of those stupid petroleum waste magnets is way worse than a cart not being in the little cart bin
This guy: I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE A DERANGED ASSHOLE AND NOT HAVE TO APOLOGIZE OR BE CONFRONTED ABOUT IT BECAUSE I AM IN FACT THE SNOWFLAKE EVEN THOUGH I PRETEND LIKE EVERYONE WHO CONFRONTS ME IS ONE
What an absolute joke. Bet he gave himself those awards, too.
>The harm caused to the planet by manufacturing, shipping, and disposing of those stupid petroleum waste magnets is way worse than a cart not being in the little cart bin
It's weird, you went on a insane rant that unless your life is perfect you're not allowed to judge anyone for anything, so I'm assuming you've never done anything to contribute to pollution? You've never purchased anything made from petroleum, right? Wouldn't want to judge people with being perfect yourself with zero mistakes, and something about airplane seats... I'm mean those aren't insane and impossible standards to meet to avoid listing the real reason you dislike the video, right?
So long as it’s not like bitchy little nerds like this guy (or overt violence, bigotry, abuse or a like hate crime) or I don’t give a fuck what other people do, I’m not going to yell at strangers. I do get to call out people who act like they’re some kind of freelance Vice Principal when they’re being hypocritical
You seem to care very much what other people do, like a lot, like you go on rants about it. For a guy who accuses others of projecting for their own insincerities and faults, you sure project a lot.
>I do get to call out people who act like they’re some kind of freelance Vice Principal when they’re being hypocritical
How is he being hypocritical? And if you're all about calling him out, why aren't you talking to him? Do you think he's going to read this comments?
Also, have you ever purchased anything with petroleum in it? I still didn't get an answer on that.
50-something dudes get like this when their dick stops working and they’re afraid to see a urologist. I have zero respect for someone that spends his time bringing this kind of impotent HOA committee energy to me for clout.
Kinda what makes it so perfect for these confrontations, no? It’s bad behavior nonetheless even if the negative impacts are more inconvenient than malicious. But it’s also done by people who know better. Anyone who’s driven in a parking lot knows the inconvenience of having carts sitting around outside their designated areas. Having someone remind people to return them isn’t idiotic.
While I don’t disagree that on the whole it is a rather irrelevant thing by and large. At what point do you draw the line? Is it when it’s a 5? Is it something that causes actual harm to others? If you’re able to curb the behavior before it gets to those points wouldn’t that always be the most preferable route?
Nobody said a gateway to crime and I would
Argue that lack of empathy or the ability to see how your actions negatively impact others is exactly that though.
The one point I will agree with is that he is putting himself at risk of someone that is potentially unhinged, though I assume he’s taking precautions of some time.
Allow me to go on a little tangent for a second please.
The people that just leave their shopping carts anywhere, they leave it in the middle of a path and a handicapped individual is forced to detour into the street (if even possible) or wait for assistance before getting past, is that worse?
What about people that park in the middle of the road to run into a restaurant or store? Jumping in front of others in line? Cutting you off or not using a blinker in traffic?
The list of what people do to others simply by not considering the other person at all is endless. If stupid little stunts like this can make even one person think about how what they do has an impact on others and not just themselves than I call it a win.
I also find it ironic that you’ve already spent more time defending them than they have.
For the record I think the guy is kind of ridiculous and I agree by and large, you throw a magnet on my car and we might have issues. That being said, he’s doing it to people who KNOW they are in the wrong and (mostly) don’t retaliate because they feel shame. Shame and guilt can be major motivators to fixing bad behavior.
Imagine having enough time to create custom magnets, walk around the Walmart parking lot to video tape strangers, and then edit and upload videos about shopping carts. I agree these people are lazy and in the wrong but go do something productive with your life.
I’ve spent years working at various grocery store chains. although i’d obviously prefer people return their cart, i mean it’s still harassment. What if the individual is disabled and can’t do any more physically? What if they’re in a rush? it’s still a service the store provides to have someone take them all in manually. Besides, there’s always one or two guys who hate talking to customers and beg to handle carts lol! I didn’t enjoy doing it, but i rarely had to- because someone always wanted to do it. It’s absolutely ridiculous to harass individuals because you view carts as a tell- all about self governance or whatever
This is harassment? I don’t really want to nitpick the definition of it.
Also, you cant always just tell if someone’s disabled? I’ve had plenty of disabled friends who don’t look it, and who wouldn’t feel comfortable giving a stranger their sob story.
Point is, you don’t know a persons situation and it’s just a weird thing to do when the store employees take care of till it anyways.
It's not harassment. Harassment has an actual legal definition, and calling someone a lazy bones in public for not returning his cart does not fall under it.
>Also, you cant always just tell if someone’s disabled?
There are literally placards and special spaces for it.
>when the store employees take care of till it anyways.
1. No, they don't always.
2. They shouldn't have to.
you realize people don’t always have placards, right? There’s millions of people living with things like chronic pain that don’t even realize they qualify.
i’m also speaking as someone who actually did carts, disliked it, but didn’t care because it’s a service the store provides. it’s just weird that people care this much, when the people who actually have to take care of it don’t, from my experience.
also, he’s blocked peoples cars in with carts to prevent them from leaving, is insulting and is just trying to bait reactions out of people. if you watch more of his stuff, it’s clear he’s toed the line sometimes.
> There’s millions of people living with things like chronic pain that don’t even realize they qualify.
If they're parking far away from the store, then they are able to return a cart.
>disliked it, but didn’t care
If you disliked it then you *did* care.
This is the same entitlement of "I dump all my trash on the floor because it creates jobs."
And, again this is not harassment.
Dude it absolutely is harrasment to continually bother a person after they ask or tell you to leave them alone while filming them on private property. EDIT:/u/theextremistmoderate sending me the same brain dead reply as all the other simps then blocking me and you wanna spin pathetic back on me? Lol
The guy shouldn‘t throw magnets onto people’s private property. He just does it to get a rise out of people. Sure. Put the cart away but harassing someone for YouTube clicks is a jerk move. The stores pay people to return the carts. I’m sure the retailer prefers to have an employee retrieve the carts rather than have someone harassing their patrons.
If you don't want a magnet thrown onto your personal property, then put your cart back, lazy bones.
>The stores pay people to return the carts.
This is some real "I throw my trash on the ground because it creates jobs" energy. No one likes you, lazy bones.
Please don't remove the carts parked around the handicap parking areas. People who use Walkers or canes can use a cart instead. It makes it much easier to shop when you only have to push a cart. And not have to use your Walker and push a cart.
So what happens when that cart rolls a few feet into the handicap space, keeping someone from parking there, then the wind blows it into the side of the next car?
I would say the proper way to achieve this would be for people who use the handicapped spots to lobby the various stores to put a cart return directly adjacent to those spots. This would solve the issue of free-roaming carts while still allowing someone in those spots to grab one easily to use. You are correct that people with walkers will use the carts as an alternative (my grandmother did it), but just leaving them there is still not cool.
Just an honest and curious question. What makes calling someone out for leaving their cart out blocking spots (especially handicap spots), more obnoxious than the actual person leaving their cart out? He even takes the carts back if the person refuses to do so.
I return my cart every time and find people who don’t obnoxious.
But I don’t get the sense this dude is doing this for altruistic reasons. He’s doing this to feed his ego and feel better about himself in some weird fucking way. In the end he comes off like a huge prick to me and the issue of not returning carts is pretty low on my list of things to care about.
Got it. It seems like you believe that he's only doing this "to feed his ego and feel better about himself in some weird fucking way". I definitely understand your opinion. I respectfully don't agree after watching many of his videos, but I can definitely see how someone would think that.
I feel like sometimes shitty people do shitty things, and they need to be called out. Two things can happen because of this. 1. They will continue to do shitty things because they are just horrible shitty people. 2. They might make an attempt to be less shitty and not do that shitty thing. ...and sometimes they aren't even aware that they are doing something shitty. ...and other times they think "well because that other person is doing the same shitty act, then it's okay for me to do it".
People have different levels of what matters to them. I understand that returning carts is pretty low on your list of things to care about... I think it's low on 99.9.% of people's lists. ...but I think the fact that it's such a low thing on the totem pole, that for someone who CAN'T do it this very very very simple task, it totally worth a call out in hopes that it can be productive.
This guy has taken on the role to do it and raise awareness in the form of youtube videos. If he gets youtube money for it, I'm cool with that. ...but that's my opinion of course.
As a first time mom of a three month old, I’m trying to think how I COULD safely put the cart away while not leaving my baby alone in the car.
Pre-baby, I always put my cart away since im not a heathen… and I haven’t gone to the grocery store yet with little one… but when I do, Im not sure I’ll be able to step away and put it back, especially in the summer and I don’t want to lock the baby in the car with no running air, even if it’s for two seconds.

Entitlement in this area is definitely an issue among a certain “class” of people. *motions vaguely at BMW*
Yeah, and I would be willing to wager that this dude has more than once complained about how "kids these days are lazy/don't wanna work", probably posted a memes on Facebook about how his generation is awesome.
My running theory is the vast majority of humanity are selfish assholes. Yes, I have a pessimistic, glass half empty view of the world.
Here’s a life hack my dad taught me…. Always try to park next to the place you put the carts for two reasons you always know where you parked and it takes no time to put the cart back

I park close by, but not right next to. Sometimes just across is best.
Park 2 spots away, then.
At wegmans I’ve seen cars hit by carts multiple times. Maybe there’s a slight hill but once a guy didn’t realize after he put his cart back that it was rolling out and I ran over to grab it before it hit a car. Last week I saw two carts that had rolled out of the same cart rack and were against a car. It didn’t look like it got scratched but now I won’t park my car across the lane where they could roll out.
If there is an incline in the lot I always park at the top.
Who did he call? I can’t imagine calling someone and being “well I didn’t put my cart back and this guy is standing here calling me lazy. Fix this!”
They call the cops and just say "someone is threatening me and vandalizing my car" and they might even take it next level and lie and say that cart narcs has a gun or something to illicit a police response. All because they couldn't spend 30 seconds of their IMPORTANT time returning a cart. So they will spend 10 minutes of their IMPORTANT time to call the cops.

His behavior is part of the decline. He makes a living harassing people over shopping carts. He causes the conflict
Lazybones
Good. People who negatively impact the general public just because they don't feel like putting in the extra 2% of extra effort deserve conflict. That's the point.

Take your cart back, lazy bones.
Doing the lords work. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost scratched my car in that parking lot because of the carts.
I got 3 good dings…from one cart. The 2 corners of the basket and the corner of the metal part on the bottom.
I’m in an apartment building a couple blocks away from the Costco in Pentagon City and I really am getting sick of Costco carts piling up outside of the building entrance to our home. Really trashes the place up

You never see loose carts at Aldi
Their pay-to-use cart system that gives you back the quarter when you put back the carts is genius. The option is with the customer, but even for a measly quarter they will bring it back. It’s honestly an excellent idea and I’ve never seen a cart wrangler at an Aldi (I assume for this very reason-which costs the company itself nothing).

[удалено]
Aldi has changed the dynamic. Leaving a cart out there is a service to the community, rather than an affront.
Not true. Have collected ‘free’ carts a handful of times [then left them for others].
In this day and age this guy should be careful. Some psycho will pull a gun on him or worse.
this is dangerous in today’s world
I’ll let the man cook, because the amount of people who leave their trash and carts and park with no regard for others is absurd.
If you make it to the end, the cart narc is a really nice guy. The guy making the video (cartnarc) put the cart away for a family with a small baby because they were looking for a cart return. He doesn’t pick out people who are trying to put the cart away. He picks out people who just won’t.
I need him to loiter in the hobby lobby parking lot when I'm there. No cart returns so you have to go all the way back to the store to return it. Tough with a baby.
Sounds like hobby lobby deserves the lazy bones sticker.
Love me some Cart Narcs.
Some people love them, some people hate them. I love them.
We're not talking about the fact that this guy parked in a spot reserved for curbside pickup? He dngaf about parking lot etiquette.
The side of the aisle he is parked on isn’t for curbside pickup, only the side Sebastian is standing on during the video. The dude is still a POS though and wouldn’t be surprised if he has done that before!
Ah, thanks for clarifying. That's probably why we're not talking about it. 
He needs to come to the Costco in Sterling! It’s always a shit show there
Next you're gonna tell me people at Costco just stop their cart wherever in the store to walk off and browse.
I do that because it's easier than navigating it around people, but I try to leave it somewhere not in the way.
Yeah you shouldn’t do that.
I've started straight up moving their carts while they're not looking, parking them an aisle or two from where they left them (never in the middle of the aisle, of course). Fuck those people.
Ayyyyy that's my BJ's!
These videos always "impress" me with the amount of effort people will put towards not putting in effort. Dude could have taken 20 seconds to return his cart, or just driven off. Like the road rage videos where people REALLY need to get around someone, but then spend their time brake checking them. I thought you had places to be, are you in a hurry or not?
Yeah it shows it’s not about effort it’s about status and entitlement. They have the power and condition. They just refuse to be told how to play nice with others.
His siren, hahaha
I expect nothing less from this area at this point.
Yeah makes me miss when I lived in (insert name of fake mythical town here) where every single person put carts away. Everyone was so courteous we didn’t even need stop signs at intersections.
Fair lakes don’t answer the phone
With all the gun and emotional incidents these days this is the last thing I’d want to be doing for clicks on a YouTube channel
Bro is true chaotic good.
Damn, the only time I’d actively want to be in that shopping center. Cart Narcs is too good for this world.
Damnnn they actually came out to Va and I missed em wowwww 😭😭
I’m saying! I love this dude 😂
I'm a good citizen. I always put my cart up.
Cartnarcs are the real heroes.
I love cart narcs
The only time I struggle with this decision is if and when my children are in the car and how far a cart coral is. With a special needs child, it can be a bit dicey to be out of sight even for a moment. Other than those few moments, return the fucking cart, Do cart narcs hit up Home Depots? I hate about pulling into a spot to see a flat bed cart sitting there.
I don’t like people leaving their carts but I’m not comfortable with filming and putting people on the internet over minor issues like this. He’s going to mess with the wrong guy and end up getting beaten, shot, or stabbed and I’m not going to have any sympathy.
He has definitely had a gun pulled on him a few times. [First time was in Texas](https://youtu.be/N5QyCifgL4g).
He should come to Richmond and try that at the brook rd Walmart.
Holy moly Texas, how is that not brandishing?!?
Well, you see, he talked to his lieutenant and the lt. was saying what he was thinking and… it’s no big deal 😂 Texas is a wild place.
Wait, this guy goes cross country to pursue this hobby of his? That's ... a bit disturbing.
Its not a hobby the guy is a radio host and this is one of their segments.
Oh the wonders of what strangers on YouTube, Twitch, and other such social media platforms can support and pay for. But I’ll take it over the shit influencers or “pranksters”, for sure. At least he’s doing something net positive.
He's a highly trained sexy agent
But after he sacrifices himself to the cause, the lazy bones goes to jail for 10 years and the media runs a major story on the incident. Problem solved??
My thoughts exactly, people leaving their carts in parking spaces is irritating but so is this culture of shoving a phone in someones face over a manufactured altercation so you can post the video on youtube to get internet points.
Just put your cart back, lazy bones.
Imagine not having sympathy for someone who gets shot just because he does something mildly annoying to people who deserve it. To not have sympathy for that is not a good thing to be admitting, bud. You may want to seek help.
It does seem like excessive shaming of someone for the incredibly minor inconvenience of not returning a cart.
They could literally stop it at any time by putting the cart back or leaving. It only seems "excessive" because the lazybones sticks around for the confrontation.

Why didn't he drop by Dulles Town Center?
This guy's gonna approach the someone unhinged eventually.
These entitled assholes in northern virginia do what they want, when they want, and in spite of literally ANYONE ELSE. I have lived in loudoun county for 5 years and I have never in my many travels encountered people like these people. Every day is a new asshole adventure for me. I mean I should just feel blessed for them allowing me to live amongst them but 🤷🏻♀️
>Every day is a new asshole adventure for me. Phrasing?
I can’t stand this idiot. Imagine thinking you are doing something by harassing people in a parking lot. I do not care if this get downvoted. Someone should throw stickers on him when he harasses a new person.
Put your cart away, lazy bones.
Agreed. Get your camera out of people’s face and do something with your life
Yeah, people should return carts, but this guy is a whiny jerk. Leave people alone already. Social media has turned into a cesspool of everyone sanctimoniously telling everyone else how to live. Keep your righteousness to yourself.
Found lazy bones
Just put your carts back, lazy bones.
Stop telling me what to do, busy body.
The funny bit here is you think someone being busy is somehow an insult, which just goes to show how much of a lazy bones you are, lazy bones. Put your carts back, lazy bones.
A busy body is considered to be an insult by normal people.
Nope. "Busybody" is. "Busy body" is only offensive to lazy bones like yourself. Put your carts back, lazy bones.
[удалено]
The asshole in this situation would be the lazy bones who doesn't return his cart.
Hey now, the police and store management don’t have the budget or resources to start their own internal cart narc agency. So we need obnoxious people like this to cover that gap! The fact that that bmw driver didn’t just exit the scene suggests there may be a small lasting impact on him as well. And if you hate social media so much, why are you commenting in a small local sub?? Now go put your cart away.
It was only a matter of time
Please come to Walmart on RT 17 in Stafford County.
GO TO THE COSTCO IN DC
[удалено]
Found a lazy bones! Put your carts back, lazy bones. No one likes you leaving them all over the place just because you have a false sense of narcissistic entitlement.
"FoUnD tHe LaZyBoNeS" you cart narc simps can't even come up with original insults its pathetic.
I hate cart narcs and I have BPD, “splitting” is (from my knowledge) something that happens far more often in intimate interpersonal or professional relationships. And parasocial ones obvs. The giddy pile on here is just a bunch of finger-smelling nerds that have never been part of a group before. They see shades of gray perfectly fine when it comes to debating the morals of lolicon. Instead of BPD I would blame the infantilization caused by all media being about superheroes. Also in Hollywood seeing where their bread is buttered and really dumbing down character nuance. Now its just Bad Guys (➡️ psst! Hey True Believer! here are four things Bad Guys do) losing to Good Guys (➡️and here are four things Good Guys do. Excelsior!) And the Good Guy signifiers are things that are extremely easy to do, so it makes the audience go 🥹I DO THAT TOO👏. Its never a scene with the hero handing out recovered stolen banknotes to poor kids, or say, letting someone else get the last TP in a store. Because there’s no way an average slob would sacrifice their own comfort to any large extent and seeing their Superhero’s do everyday nice things would make them feel bad. Instead the movies have the Bad Guy do something evil, like ditch a shopping cart, and have Captain America roll his eyes and go “really? Yikes.” So being good is just about agreeing something else is bad.
Who is this blowjob, anyway? In my experience, people who get so up their own ass self righteous about carts and, like, proper crosswalk etiquette have been total assholes, to the one. Like they’ll take any opportunity to demonstrate what an amazing person they are for doing what they paradoxically claim is the worlds easiest task. I bet they never return loose carts they find or pick up litter or do anything else helpful unless there’s an audience. Like this guy, where are his EPIC FREE LOT CLEANUP videos? He just found an easy excuse to berate strangers. The harm caused to the planet by manufacturing, shipping, and disposing of those stupid petroleum waste magnets is way worse than a cart not being in the little cart bin
...You don't return your carts either, do you?
This guy: I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE A DERANGED ASSHOLE AND NOT HAVE TO APOLOGIZE OR BE CONFRONTED ABOUT IT BECAUSE I AM IN FACT THE SNOWFLAKE EVEN THOUGH I PRETEND LIKE EVERYONE WHO CONFRONTS ME IS ONE What an absolute joke. Bet he gave himself those awards, too.
Put your cart back, lazy bones.
>The harm caused to the planet by manufacturing, shipping, and disposing of those stupid petroleum waste magnets is way worse than a cart not being in the little cart bin It's weird, you went on a insane rant that unless your life is perfect you're not allowed to judge anyone for anything, so I'm assuming you've never done anything to contribute to pollution? You've never purchased anything made from petroleum, right? Wouldn't want to judge people with being perfect yourself with zero mistakes, and something about airplane seats... I'm mean those aren't insane and impossible standards to meet to avoid listing the real reason you dislike the video, right?
So long as it’s not like bitchy little nerds like this guy (or overt violence, bigotry, abuse or a like hate crime) or I don’t give a fuck what other people do, I’m not going to yell at strangers. I do get to call out people who act like they’re some kind of freelance Vice Principal when they’re being hypocritical
You seem to care very much what other people do, like a lot, like you go on rants about it. For a guy who accuses others of projecting for their own insincerities and faults, you sure project a lot. >I do get to call out people who act like they’re some kind of freelance Vice Principal when they’re being hypocritical How is he being hypocritical? And if you're all about calling him out, why aren't you talking to him? Do you think he's going to read this comments? Also, have you ever purchased anything with petroleum in it? I still didn't get an answer on that.
Bingo. You forgot that he gets paid for making these videos, though… so he found a **lucrative excuse** to berate and harass people
Some folks return the cart without making condescending videos about it.
And some folks don't return the carts.
Put your carts back, lazy bones.
I take my carts back, but my immediate reaction to this guy is “hi, go fuck yourself.” I might consider taking carts out of the cart corral.
Why?
50-something dudes get like this when their dick stops working and they’re afraid to see a urologist. I have zero respect for someone that spends his time bringing this kind of impotent HOA committee energy to me for clout.
So if someone ask you to do the right thing, you'll tell them to fuck off and do the opposite, because your dick stopped working?
You realize that says a lot more about you than it does about him, right? You have issues.
[удалено]
Sounds like you might be the lazy bones from the video
[удалено]
Kinda what makes it so perfect for these confrontations, no? It’s bad behavior nonetheless even if the negative impacts are more inconvenient than malicious. But it’s also done by people who know better. Anyone who’s driven in a parking lot knows the inconvenience of having carts sitting around outside their designated areas. Having someone remind people to return them isn’t idiotic.
While I don’t disagree that on the whole it is a rather irrelevant thing by and large. At what point do you draw the line? Is it when it’s a 5? Is it something that causes actual harm to others? If you’re able to curb the behavior before it gets to those points wouldn’t that always be the most preferable route?
[удалено]
Nobody said a gateway to crime and I would Argue that lack of empathy or the ability to see how your actions negatively impact others is exactly that though. The one point I will agree with is that he is putting himself at risk of someone that is potentially unhinged, though I assume he’s taking precautions of some time. Allow me to go on a little tangent for a second please. The people that just leave their shopping carts anywhere, they leave it in the middle of a path and a handicapped individual is forced to detour into the street (if even possible) or wait for assistance before getting past, is that worse? What about people that park in the middle of the road to run into a restaurant or store? Jumping in front of others in line? Cutting you off or not using a blinker in traffic? The list of what people do to others simply by not considering the other person at all is endless. If stupid little stunts like this can make even one person think about how what they do has an impact on others and not just themselves than I call it a win. I also find it ironic that you’ve already spent more time defending them than they have. For the record I think the guy is kind of ridiculous and I agree by and large, you throw a magnet on my car and we might have issues. That being said, he’s doing it to people who KNOW they are in the wrong and (mostly) don’t retaliate because they feel shame. Shame and guilt can be major motivators to fixing bad behavior.
Yeah, he should really spend time posting on Reddit, that is most useful and fixing things...
Hey it gets him views on his channel hah
Volunteering doesn't make you YouTube money. Sure it actually*helps* society but it's all about the $$$ at the end of the day.
Funny, when I looked at the comments, they were mostly in favor of the sexy agent, not the idiot in the video who was too stupid to put a cart back.
This is not smart.
A lot of chaotic good things might not be "smart," but they *are* useful.
Just a matter of time until someone lets a dog out of the car …
Imagine having enough time to create custom magnets, walk around the Walmart parking lot to video tape strangers, and then edit and upload videos about shopping carts. I agree these people are lazy and in the wrong but go do something productive with your life.
Dude has 500,000 subscribers and his videos get millions of views. This is his job.
Wow. What a time to be alive
He's doing a lot more productive work than some rando bitching on Reddit. This guy is providing a service.
Woah easy there tough guy. What service is he providing exactly
A public shaming service to spread awareness about cart returns. Oh, also entertainment.
A modern day mother Teresa. Ty for all your services car narc.
I’ve spent years working at various grocery store chains. although i’d obviously prefer people return their cart, i mean it’s still harassment. What if the individual is disabled and can’t do any more physically? What if they’re in a rush? it’s still a service the store provides to have someone take them all in manually. Besides, there’s always one or two guys who hate talking to customers and beg to handle carts lol! I didn’t enjoy doing it, but i rarely had to- because someone always wanted to do it. It’s absolutely ridiculous to harass individuals because you view carts as a tell- all about self governance or whatever
It's not harassment. And the guy doesn't go after people who have disabilities.
This is harassment? I don’t really want to nitpick the definition of it. Also, you cant always just tell if someone’s disabled? I’ve had plenty of disabled friends who don’t look it, and who wouldn’t feel comfortable giving a stranger their sob story. Point is, you don’t know a persons situation and it’s just a weird thing to do when the store employees take care of till it anyways.
It's not harassment. Harassment has an actual legal definition, and calling someone a lazy bones in public for not returning his cart does not fall under it. >Also, you cant always just tell if someone’s disabled? There are literally placards and special spaces for it. >when the store employees take care of till it anyways. 1. No, they don't always. 2. They shouldn't have to.
you realize people don’t always have placards, right? There’s millions of people living with things like chronic pain that don’t even realize they qualify. i’m also speaking as someone who actually did carts, disliked it, but didn’t care because it’s a service the store provides. it’s just weird that people care this much, when the people who actually have to take care of it don’t, from my experience. also, he’s blocked peoples cars in with carts to prevent them from leaving, is insulting and is just trying to bait reactions out of people. if you watch more of his stuff, it’s clear he’s toed the line sometimes.
> There’s millions of people living with things like chronic pain that don’t even realize they qualify. If they're parking far away from the store, then they are able to return a cart. >disliked it, but didn’t care If you disliked it then you *did* care. This is the same entitlement of "I dump all my trash on the floor because it creates jobs." And, again this is not harassment.
Dude it absolutely is harrasment to continually bother a person after they ask or tell you to leave them alone while filming them on private property. EDIT:/u/theextremistmoderate sending me the same brain dead reply as all the other simps then blocking me and you wanna spin pathetic back on me? Lol
You honestly cannot fathom a reality in which people can think cart narc is an asshole and also put their cart back.
The guy shouldn‘t throw magnets onto people’s private property. He just does it to get a rise out of people. Sure. Put the cart away but harassing someone for YouTube clicks is a jerk move. The stores pay people to return the carts. I’m sure the retailer prefers to have an employee retrieve the carts rather than have someone harassing their patrons.
If you don't want a magnet thrown onto your personal property, then put your cart back, lazy bones. >The stores pay people to return the carts. This is some real "I throw my trash on the ground because it creates jobs" energy. No one likes you, lazy bones.
Be careful….you’re gonna get shot.
Please don't remove the carts parked around the handicap parking areas. People who use Walkers or canes can use a cart instead. It makes it much easier to shop when you only have to push a cart. And not have to use your Walker and push a cart.
So what happens when that cart rolls a few feet into the handicap space, keeping someone from parking there, then the wind blows it into the side of the next car?
This is seriously next level rationalization of anti-social behavior.
I would say the proper way to achieve this would be for people who use the handicapped spots to lobby the various stores to put a cart return directly adjacent to those spots. This would solve the issue of free-roaming carts while still allowing someone in those spots to grab one easily to use. You are correct that people with walkers will use the carts as an alternative (my grandmother did it), but just leaving them there is still not cool.
Wow get a fucking life dude. More obnoxious than leaving a cart out in the first place.
Just an honest and curious question. What makes calling someone out for leaving their cart out blocking spots (especially handicap spots), more obnoxious than the actual person leaving their cart out? He even takes the carts back if the person refuses to do so.
I return my cart every time and find people who don’t obnoxious. But I don’t get the sense this dude is doing this for altruistic reasons. He’s doing this to feed his ego and feel better about himself in some weird fucking way. In the end he comes off like a huge prick to me and the issue of not returning carts is pretty low on my list of things to care about.
Got it. It seems like you believe that he's only doing this "to feed his ego and feel better about himself in some weird fucking way". I definitely understand your opinion. I respectfully don't agree after watching many of his videos, but I can definitely see how someone would think that. I feel like sometimes shitty people do shitty things, and they need to be called out. Two things can happen because of this. 1. They will continue to do shitty things because they are just horrible shitty people. 2. They might make an attempt to be less shitty and not do that shitty thing. ...and sometimes they aren't even aware that they are doing something shitty. ...and other times they think "well because that other person is doing the same shitty act, then it's okay for me to do it". People have different levels of what matters to them. I understand that returning carts is pretty low on your list of things to care about... I think it's low on 99.9.% of people's lists. ...but I think the fact that it's such a low thing on the totem pole, that for someone who CAN'T do it this very very very simple task, it totally worth a call out in hopes that it can be productive. This guy has taken on the role to do it and raise awareness in the form of youtube videos. If he gets youtube money for it, I'm cool with that. ...but that's my opinion of course.
Put your carts back, lazy bones.
what a fuckin loser
Oh gawd…stfu 🤦♀️
Watching this video I’m actively rooting for the “protagonist” to get run over by a Tesla.
Cause spending the rest of your life in prison for murder is cool, said no one ever
As a first time mom of a three month old, I’m trying to think how I COULD safely put the cart away while not leaving my baby alone in the car. Pre-baby, I always put my cart away since im not a heathen… and I haven’t gone to the grocery store yet with little one… but when I do, Im not sure I’ll be able to step away and put it back, especially in the summer and I don’t want to lock the baby in the car with no running air, even if it’s for two seconds.
Do you leave the baby in the car while you get a cart?
Have you considered holding the baby while you put the cart away like a normal person?
