The Drekja thread got me thinking about relatively minor annoyances, aside from people who are parking in the "wrong" parking space. There is usually nothing we can do about it, since fortunately most of us don't run around with a gun and an itchy trigger finger. Here's one of those annoyances:
Last week I was shopping in Costco. When I went to get my shopping cart from the long line of carts, there was literally not a clean looking cart available. Every cart had somebody's garbage in it! Used tissues, discarded drink containers, food wrappers, etc. Why do people think it's OK to dump their trash in a shopping cart for someone else to clean up?
This may sound politically incorrect, but I'll say it anyway. Most of the shoppers in that particular store are foreigners. Sometimes, I get the feeling that I am the only person there speaking English. Usually I like the exotic-looking clothes some of them wear and listening to all the languages; it makes me feel like I'm traveling in a foreign country. But I have to wonder if this trash-dumping is something they've brought with them from whatever countries they are from. (They are obviously from multiple countries). So maybe they just need a bit of acclimating to America?
In any case, I find it annoying and kind of disgusting. Yet, what can anyone do about it? Probably nothing, other than switch to a different store.
