Maybe they are not looking for a cart.Many like to wipe down their shopping carts before using.

I also do my best to not contribute to the "going wrong" part.

We have all learned how to notice what is "wrong" and our radar can tend to send us in that direction in order to "avoid trouble" so it can take some efforting to notice what is going right. Maybe we all just need to remember to "be the change we want to see" and notice how many others are like us. Bet there are more out there than we can imagine.

My original posting was to be a sort of a scavenger hunt of those thing that some people that most of us don't do... Some responses seemed to take my posting as an attack on Villagers in general, calling me a complainer and whineyr and that she had never viewed anyone doing those little irrating things that people sometime do. Granted , those who do act differently than most of us are a very small minority. My original posting posed the question was why this minority did those factual things...

I don't know Warren, but many philosophers and religious leaders and behavorial specialists have tried to unlock this mystery for centuries.

I guess we will have to just say it is the human condition.
