Surrounded

Our hardworking grocery store employees are constantly picking up after us, wrangling shopping carts, and making sure we have a seamless shopping experience. But why oh why do some people insist on making their job harder by being total cart-hogging jerks? Maybe they think it’s no biggie, but it happens all too often. Well, one employee finally had enough of this one customer who parked right in the cart section like it was their own personal garage. So what did they do? They took matters into their own hands and surrounded the car with shopping carts, blocking them in completely. That’s what you get for being a shopping cart hog, my friend! Next time, think before you park.

Mat even posted a video of his brother and sister trying to break open the gift.

How He Hated Her

A woman’s ex bought a beat-up 1999 Chevy Monte Carlo from her uncle for a measly $600. But get this – he went ahead and registered it in her name WITHOUT her even knowing! Fast forward to 2012 and the couple called it quits, with the ex-boyfriend taking the car and dumping it in the O’Hare International Airport parking lot.
