Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for January 19, 2022

Very annoying when they are the remaining carts left.

I usually pull my back out first.

It’s the universe telling you: you shop too much!

That needs to be an Olympic event. Only Olympians would have strength enough to make the attempt.

Carts are alien robots that are perpetually in heat. It’s why they want to stick together.

And if you do get them apart the one you take needs an alignment.

And then you find that the cart won’t go in a straight line.

Why send a man to do a woman’s job. Just bounce the back one and they pop apart,

i can honestly say that i’m mystified by this one – i’ve never experienced this in my life. carts with wheels that go in four directions? sure. stuck together? never…

It’s the same force of nature that binds clothes hangers together in the closet.

what? that doesn’t have anything to do with strength! Problem normally is that the part that lifts up is stuck in the next one, so just lift it up and voilá!

Never happen

That used to be a lot easier before they put the ‘seat belts’ for toddlers in. ;-)

Or airport luggage trolleys, Aunty, but that’s another tale!

I saw a nine year old separate a pair of carts that had been stuck together. Think of Steve Rogers getting the flag during training in “Captain America.”

I would probably just use the 2 carts stuck together and hope nobody notices.

After going through all comments, I can’t believe how everyone feels compelled to turn the whole comments section into a forum for learning to deal with a common but fleeting problem in the course of day to day living of human experience! It’s a joke, comic, silly observation and expression of minor frustration. Enjoy the humor (no matter how little) and move on.

Shouldn’t it be figuring out the right way to hang toilet tissue and paper towels???

The next event after that, the wobbly wheel race.

I’ve done that on a few occasions — had no idea it was potentially worthy of Olympic gold! I’ll have to tell my wife and see if she’s impressed.
