I came out of 10Box on Saturday afternoon with five bags of groceries. Since Hick is a master of avoiding "carrying in" duties, I pre-emptively put them on the passenger seat of T-Hoe. It's closer, and I don't have to worry about closing the garage door, and T-Hoe's rear hatch, while having grocery bags draped over both arms.
I had a handicap parking space near the cart return garage door on the front of the building. After loading my groceries in T-Hoe, I turned to push the cart back up on the sidewalk.
"I'LL TAKE THAT FOR YOU!"
What in the Not-Heaven??? I almost jumped out of my skin! A guy had flung open the driver's door of a red sedan parked next to T-Hoe. I didn't even know anybody was in that car.
"OH! You SCARED me!"
"I thought you were looking right at me. I'll take your cart. I figured I needed to get out before you parked it back in front of the building."
"Thank you so much. I was just startled."
Helpful Guy was probably late 20s. He was still talking on his phone to somebody, telling them that he was at one of his favorite stores, and going in to shop.
It's nice to help out the elderlies by taking their cart from them. It's problematic to terrorize them with stealth tactics...
