That guy was me f-16.......and the cart was on my foot.....and while the two cart were being jammed back and forth it would have been nice if someone had noticed my fingers were lodged in there...

I always try and think the best of people in such a situation. You have no idea what may have been going on with this gentleman. May be he had a bad knee or hip.

I will give you an example from 4 days ago. I was flying back from Baltimore and the guy in front of and across the aisle from me had to be told by the flight attendants 4 times to put his seat in upright position on take off and then on landing. I thought to myself, well maybe he has a bad hip or back. On the 5th time when the attendant told him to put his seat forward he told her that his seat back was broken and was going back by itself. I watched and he was correct , it went back again by itself, he never touched the button.

It will save yourself a lot of anger if you think in this fashion. Someone flys by you on the road, I just think "Maybe his daughter is in the emergency room".

The 2nd gal tried for about 15 seconds, seemed longer, and the guy in front of me just stands there and watches. He's 6'2"+/- 30's with a small mower battery in his cart. I'm thinking, " Look idiot, why don't you help the lady or give her your cart?" I'd had enough, brushed him aside and climbed under the railing to help the gal. One of the straps that ties the toddlers in the seat was wrapped up in the other cart. Compress the carts against each other - presto - strap released. Took me 2 secs. I felt like taking him out at the knees. Yeah I know, hot head hot heat hot head but c'mon. Then he complained that he had to pay a core charge for the battery. DUH! Stupid
16, OUR HERO!!! , on behalf of that poor lady, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. That could of been any one of us, and you sir are a true gentlemen!

that was good. Think they did notice the fingers, but thought it was funnier watching shutter and winch with Pain
