If everyone put the trolleys back in their places, the poor trolley boys will be out of a job.

I put mine back, because I don't want it rolling into peoples car, and I could probably do with the walk anyway.

Our burgundy AU wagon has paint chips across its nose now due to Shopping trolleys.

The whole lot of them rolled from the trolley bay right into the car.

Wife couldn't believe her eyes. She went and found the Foodland(?) manager to tell him what had just happened and the response was Yeah, we get a lot of people coming in here complaining about those trolleys. !!!

The trolley bay is at the high end of the carpark. When one gets moved, the rest follow and momentum builds downhill - right where all the cars are parked. She doesn't park there anymore but the damage has been done :-(

My AU copped a fair whack from a trolley..

Front 1/4, corner of a trolley hit at around 15K i'd say after a heavy gust of wind. I was leaving the carpark when it came sailing over.

thats actually one thing I loved to watch.. when people opened their car doors onto my jeep.. they opened them onto my steel tube side steps.. so it didn't hurt my vehicle at all.. but man they use to get ****ed off with themselves or their kids.
same as when people have trouble with leaving a decent space between cars... left side of car as close as possible to the right hand side of the other car..leaving them with ridiculous amounts of room to get out. but no room what so ever for the other driver to enter their car.. which is why I usually reverse park..

I was walking back to my car in a shop carpark to see a guy jump out his 4WD and swing his door right in to mine.

I called him up on it and he apologised but it was obvious he never had any intention to try and avoid damaging my car.

So we had words, he stormed off into the shops, and I put my steelcaps to good use on his wheel arches.

Yep used to have a trayback cruiser with side bars, awesome in carparks. I found an old lady hooked up on it once - she had jammed her car into the tray so hard she couldn't reverse away. I had to get her car off for her. No damage to the tray but her front headlight area looked like a train had hit it.

I use this, keys or a 50 cent piece....Depends what I feel like at the time.

Yes, others may see us as vandals/scum or what ever else, but I personally see it as karma..So I don't care what others say.

Another classic that happened to me....An ex-bosses son decided to open the work ute door on my freshly painted car (only been painted a month)...Of course the son and boss refused responsibility.

Payback was, said son bought new mags for his misses car....I gouged two new mags fitting the tyres (accidently of course )....I did offer to replace the mags on the proviso they paid to have my door repainted. My offer was refused.

Lock me up and throw away the key because I'm a hoon....I got caught doing 59 in a 60 zone

Every time i read about trolleys rolling into cars I think "What??". But i realised some carparks aren't dead flat like the ones in Busso! The while town is flat! You gotta drive about 15-20 mins to get to some hills!
I only see cars rolling into trolleys
