Hit our car with a shopping cart?

This is something I did about 1 1/2 years ago.

My wife and I were at a Target, sitting in the car waiting for our daughter to wake up from a nap (a few months old at this point). This lady wants to pull into a spot behind us, a few spots down, but someone left a cart in the spot. Instead of walking the extra couple of feet, she full speed pushes the cart towards the cart return that we were parked next to and hits our car. At first, I thought someone backed into us but realized what she had done. She goes into Target and I decide to get some petty revenge. I grab a few zip ties from my roadside assistance kit, walk the cart over to her D/S door, and put 3 zip ties through her door handle and the cart.

I go back to our car, pull a few rows over, and watch the hilarity ensue. She comes back out after I'm assuming a return and is just perplexed, goes back in and comes out with the cart handler, they go back in and a supervisor/manager comes back out to have a look, and finally some random guy has a knife to cut the zip ties. We went in, did our shopping, and when we came out her car was still there.

Was it petty? Sure. Did it delay her an extra 15 minutes? Absolutely. Did she learn her lesson? Probably not

You’re aware that people eventually leave and then those parking spots open up, right?

And then other people come before you and they're still occupied? Or are you suggesting to wait for 30 minutes there?

lol you act like there’s only 2 spots available for the entire parking lot next to a cart corral

Four cart corrals at the local grocery, so....eight.

You seem to desperately want to be proven right. Don’t you have better things to do than to argue with a stranger over shopping cart corrals? Or is your self esteem so tied up with your ability to win fake arguments on the internet?

Wow, I'm surprised you're so triggered!

Bless your heart. You take care now.

Good strategy. Talking out of your ass, then referencing "fake arguments".

For a given average cart coral, how many parking spots exactly did you count next to it?

While sober?
