Dashcam Footage Shows Reckless Move at Supermarket Car Park - Did This Shopper Go Too Far?
- Replies 36
Navigating through a crowded car park can be quite a challenge, especially when other drivers and pedestrians make reckless moves.
It's not uncommon to come across a ‘selfish’ driver who puts others in danger by disregarding basic parking etiquette.
Whether it's double parking, taking up multiple spots, or cutting off pedestrians, these actions can be frustrating and even hazardous.
But a recent incident in a Woolworths car park has left many people shaking their heads in disbelief.
The incident was captured on a dashcam and subsequently shared on Facebook, garnering criticism from thousands of social media users.
At a car park reportedly located on the Gold Coast, a woman trying to reverse her car into a vacant spot encountered an obstacle in the form of an inconsiderate shopper's trolley.
The shopper left her trolley right behind the reversing car, even though the trolley bay was just a few steps away.
This selfish move not only made it difficult for the woman to park her car, but it also created a potential hazard.
Needless to say, this infuriated the driver who got out of the car and walked over to her.
While it's hard to see from the video, it's possible the woman was yelling at the shopper for her irresponsible behaviour.
She then grabs the trolley as if to make a point, yanking it up over the pavement and walking it all the way to the trolley bay.
The video soon made its way to the Dash Cam Owners Australia Facebook group, where it was met with shock and outrage by other drivers.
One angry user wrote: ‘This makes me so mad. The laziness is next level.’
'Perfect example of what's wrong in today's society! Complete disregard for anyone else, too hard to walk another six steps,' another fumed.
In fact, we previously reported about how some shoppers were left frustrated after other customers left their trolley at a Coles car park.
Based on the response, it appears that this behaviour is more prevalent than anticipated, as many people have reported witnessing similar instances of trolley dumping at their nearby supermarket car parks.
One person shared: ‘See it all the time people are too lazy to put their trolleys in the trolley bays. Even if the bay is right beside them.’
‘This is nothing new. Happens in every supermarket in Australia in every town. Lack of respect for people's cars – that's all it is,’ another added.
Some individuals criticised the shopper's actions, stating that it displayed a lack of consideration for others and suggesting that the shopper probably didn't think twice about what they had done.
However, a few others did defend the shopper, arguing that it's the responsibility of the staff designated for collecting trolleys and the shopper had not done anything wrong.
