Aldi has taken the trouble to demarcate an area of its car park specifically for golf-carts. There are numerous parking spots for cars, yet some car-drivers choose to park in the golf-cart slots, despite it being obvious to a blind possum that the lines are considerably closer together than those in a normal car-parking space.

Just venting my spleen :-)
Haven't you yet noticed that a large majority of people (old or young) do whatever they want to and they do it wherever they want to ................. I always feel it's rather like a game of "I just dare you to hit me while I saunter across this road in front of your car ................", and "what do you mean - those rules are meant for me!" You are never going to change that mind set.

I quote Forrest Gump : stupid is as stupid does
