    I resolve to stop judging the poor grammar choices of people who claim to have high level educations and professional careers.

    Oh wait, I don't believe in New Year's resolutions :grimace:

    I resolve to be even more obnoxious when I see someone leave their cart in the parking lot when the cart return is only 10 feet away.

    Or when they leave it right next to it instead of walking 3 feet around the rail to put it in.
    I have a deep scratch in my door because of someone too lazy to walk a couple feet.

    Ok deep breaths lol

    Withdraw vs withdrawal will probably be my next online correction since I'm seeing it more often. And draw instead of drawer. I don't get that one at all.

    I shall continue to show up for work on a daily basis even tho my depression keeps wanting me to give up on everything and sleep in the bath tub with a bottle of wine as the rest of my life falls to pieces around me

    I think I might need help.

    Edit: oops this was supposed to be a lighter side resolution?

    I *will* stick to my exercise plan. I *will* run a 5k without walking. I *will* tackle the teenage cram it in there tidy up cupboard at the bottom of my bed. Well... if I can survive the avalanche after opening the door :smiley:

    Actually a car pushed a loose cart into my car not too long ago. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed (turned out that I knew the driver too).

    I resolve to continue not to respond to posters who use 'txtspeak' and compose entire posts without capitalization or punctuation. Reading the posts makes me feel like I'm on speed - "hey guise do u thnk i shd eat mor protein i lik vegies 2 but nly 4 brkfst wht do u thnk do u lk them 2 k thx"

    But I'll still sit here and roll my eyes and mourn the death of literacy.

    Kudos to you if you can decode it the first time you read it. Those posts and ones where every sentence ends with an emoji irritate me.

    I will just accept that on a multi-cultural forum a lot gets lost in translation.

    I shall not expect so that I will not resent.

    Oh! I'm adding this little gem to my memory. Thank you.

    I have a variety depending on the situation. The most common is just pointing out where the return is. Or I ask if they need help. I do this knowing they might have a legit excuse.

    Super obnoxious, I know. I may not be a nice person.

    Might be a lighter side, but I think yours is a good goal. Not letting the desire to quit take over is a damn fine aspiration.

    Shop at Aldi. Gotta return the carts to get your quarter back! Genius.

    I do something similar if I pull up next to someone who I observed not using their turn signal. "Excuse me. Did you know your turn signal isn't working?"

    Yeah. They're starting to pop up here just outside of DC, but still not convenient. I will drive the distance if I have enough items to get. Aldi makes shopping at a "regular" grocery store almost infuriating!!

    And most UK supermarkets. I have a "trolley coin" for just the purpose, lives on my keyring so I don't have to scratch around for change. Also, it's £1, so a lot more to lose than a quarter!
