Was it Your shopping cart? I actually saw a lady shove her cart as hard as she could from the back of a parking lot to the front of the store just as someone was pulling out of a stall, it smacked into the car, and I left just before confrontation. Whew, I'm sure there was swearing involved in that conversation, not just "you stink".
Mary -- don't you mean "The Gill Mobile?" Please refer to it as such in all future communiques.
Bryn -- It wasn't my shopping cart, because I am a guy and therefore always assume that I can fit all my groceries in my two hands. Actually, I didn't even realize that the cart was resting against my car until I pulled out of the parking stall and the cart began to roll down the hill and hit the next car in line. Don't worry, though, I watched the whole thing and the cart's bottom hit the car's tire before the cart's top could damage anything. I, however, was not so lucky.
Our stake president a few years ago told us to stop using the word "suck" for anything other than a baby sucking on a pacifier. Hence "you stink" has become one of the harshest phrases at my disposal.
Undoubtedly it was some punk high schooler pushing a cart with the bumper of his car and then swerving quickly to send the cart on its destructive course. All the while, the teen's friends cheer him on. (Food 4 Less, 1996-ish?) Those kids are the suckiest bunch of suckers that ever sucked.
Garrett -- Believe me, that was the first thing that crossed my mind when it happened. And, for the record, it was the very same Smith's parking lot where the 1996-ish incident happened. It's just too darn slopey of a parking lot to handle wheeled carts safely. So I do think this was a case of delayed karma.
Which reminds me ... I'm still waiting for a Jeep full of punk kids on a back road somewhere to spray my car with mud as they pass by...

Aw, that ain't cool. That happened to me in the Winegar's parking lot in High School, to my SWEET BUICK LIMITED, no less. Sorry - that sucks!

That totally stinks -- or "draws water through a straw" as I used to say when forbidden to use the word "suck."
