This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Dude the context of the current post IS shopping carts, you can use the argument for most minor inconveniences. It's okay to be a dick and don't do said thing, honestly and non sarcastically, but don't be a hypocrite.

Note I started this convo by saying that not putting the cart back is a dick move. So I'm not really sure how I'm being a hypocrite here? My whole point was that just because someone chooses to occasionally be selfish, does not mean they are incapable of self governing, people have different priorities, and there are FAR more impactful things I can spend my limited energy on than whether or not I put a cart back (Which I usually do btw, like I agreed at the start, its a dick move not to). That being said, arguing with people on lemmy isnt really a high impact use of my energy either xD

And all I meant is that it is okay to not being able to govern your self. Not everyone is capable of that.

As is clear from your edit in the original comment.
