Man if you get this worked up over something that didn't happen, your life must be miserable from worrying at all times.

On a serious note, dont let things that you cant control bother you so much, its not worth your energy.

Of those, 99% are there to just get what they need and get out and go on about their lives and couldn't care less about your car, or even notice it, unless of course, you put it out in the middle of the desert all alone. Then those 99% will drive by it on the way out and say, "Look, a Camaro, and whatever their opinion may be and never think about it again."

Then yes, there is that 1%. For this group of people, I think that parking out in the desert only manages to single you car out to them. Add that, while it reduces cover for any mischievous activities, it also reduces get away time. Just something to think about. Me, I park just far enough to avoid the cluster, but close enough to not appear like a snob nosed jerk. I also avoid peak shopping days and hours like the plague.

Yes, I did say that most won't even notice or care. But these guys might just be admiring the car and waiting for you to start the bad boy up.

That cart was probably just left there by folks that loaded up the SUV. It's placement suggests this to me. I find carts strewn all over Wal-Mart parking lots...and Target...and Home Depot...and Lowes...and every grocery store I've ever been to.

Yes, people leave carts lying around all over the place regardless of store -- that's human nature of laziness and entitlement, not to exert any effort beyond what's required once you get what you want at the store. But if you suck it up and go to a slightly more expensive place, the odds are they will do a better job at cart collection. At least that's what I observe near me.

I rarely shop at Walmart anymore. I have had intentions of going there at times, I drive by, and go elsewhere. HyVee and Fresh Thyme for me most of the time.

My wife went there the other day and parked wayyyy in the back near a Vette, leaving a parking space between them out of respect for the Vette.
When she returned there was a POS Cavalier parked right in between them, as if to say
"look what I did, you can't stop me"
I would have waited for the person and maybe had some words...

Just looking at most of the people who shop there its easy to see why. So i decided to go anyway. I Parked my Camaro all the way at the end where it was like 100 feet away from all the other cars in the lot. No shopping carts even anywhere to be seen. Coast clear. So i thought. I was literally only in the store for 20min. I come out. There was a shopping cart parked 10 feet from my car aimed right at the car. The lot is slightly down hill and it was windy as Hell. I guarantee if i was in that store 5 min longer it would have smashed right into the side of my new SS... WTF??? People are scum!! Unbelievable. Its like i knew before i went in that it would happen. Never again will i take the car to Walmart. Thank god it didnt hit my car!!

To be fair, he said most, not all. Which I think is pretty accurate. If you guys took offense to what he said maybe you guys are scum...or just need to relax a little, along with the OP.

As Thor said, they're just words.

I go to Walmart all the time and park far away. I take my 17 ss, 16 platinum 4x4 tundra, my beater, and my 09 Z06 (no longer have that one). Nothing has ever happened and if it did guess what? It's a damn car lol. Would I be beyond livid? Of course I would but after an hour or 2 would get over it and deal with it without having an aneurism. Life is too short to get bent out of shape over shit that does not happen.

I had to check myself a few weeks ago (slightly off topic). I was omw to the gym and an 18 wheeler (I10 Houston) totally cut me off and nearly missed side swiping me, Thank God the other 18 wheeler in the left lane saw what was happening and jumped to his left so I could make an evasive maneuver saving my hide. It was clearly a mistake on the 18 wheelers part bc I'm assuming he did not see me although I never drive along side trucks unless passing. I did flash my brights at him (NO HORN NO FINGER). I exited and so did he, I was in the left turn lane, there was a car in the middle lane (to my immediate right) and he was in the far right lane making a right. I glanced over at him and tossed my hand (NOT FINGER) like wtf? This guy flips me off and mouths f*** You. Now for the twist, I'm not bragging at all and am no tough guy nor badass, nor mma fighter lol, I am however on test, tren a, and masteron (look it up if you don't know). I am in the middle of a competition and am young 5'9 177 with 11% bf and a 30 inch waist. When he did that I mentally flipped out and put my right blinker on and motioned to the car on my right to let me over (kindly) which she did. Yup I followed this jackass to the truck stop and as he pulled next to the fuel island I was out my Tundra (wasn't in the ss that day) and right at his door before he pulled his airbrakes. I am typically a very non combative individual by nature but to me this was the utmost disrespect and I wanted him to tell me f*** me to my face. I was shirtless and he refused to exit his truck and barely let his window down enough to apologize and tell me to have a nice day and he didn't want any trouble. I obliged and was on my way. I felt like a total complete dousche bag about 5 minutes later and thought about how wrong that whole situation could have went for either one of us and how I looked? I was raised in a very strict military family and tbh that was against my parents ways. Point being is I got bent out of shape and went out my character over what? NOTHING, nothing happened. Op hopefully you can relate to my point although different circumstance.
