Problem with that theory Jeff is you get the genius that tries to hit the
shopping cart holder from 30 feet away and misses wide right...into
your car.
Mark, what if you park way in the back part of the furthest lot that you can find, sideways with cones and yellow strobe lights around your car and an old lady falls asleep while driving and hits your car, destroying it.

Go ahead and keep parking near the carriage holders...seems kind of
a bad place to be given that there will be increased carriage activity
around those holders and I'm looking to park where there is less
carriage activity.

Should Lainey do the same thing with the cones and strobe lights since
she agreed with me?

I kid you not, the jersey barrier I parked behind at work saved my car one afternoon. 4 cars totalled and lots of broken glass, but I got to drive my car home at the end of the day vs. my friends who went to the car rental place

Guy blacked out behind the wheel and mowed 3 cars down in his Ram 1500. The Audi S4 he was snowplowing ran into the jersey barrier I was parked behind and came to rest. Not a scratch on the S

See, my story about the old lady falling asleep and taking out the car in the back of the lot isn't so far fetched!!!

What is the age that people start thinking the gas pedal is the brake pedal?

Agreed, but that is more far-fetched than some kid trying to be cool shoving the
cart from 1/2 way across the lot trying to hit that carriage holder, just ask Lainey.
