  That's the point.
  One simple action could avoid all interactions with him.
  But you're way too lazy for that
context: I mean he is purposefully annoying as shit, tht is the point. I think the content gets kinda old but oh well. The big risk is one day someone is gonna beat his ass >
  
  There is a strategic reason he doesnt go to low income high crime area's,  he goes to the more well off shopping centers. >
  
  He's been to those areas too. He did it to prove to his haters that he wasn't afraid because he believes what he is doing is right. He's been on the news talking about it even. >
  
  And, that is, undeniably stupid as fuck.  I’d never do that in my hometown.  
  His “cause” ain’t worth getting iced or scrambled over.  He does this for clicks and he makes money off of it.  This cause ain’t saving anyone’s life, the environment, or really anything other than a rare ding on someone’s car here and there.  Its just making him money, really.  I put my cart back, I don’t care if anyone else does or not. >
  
  Imagine blowing a dude's head off over a damn shopping cart lmao >
  
  People have done that for far less. >
  
  Implement the system that Alidi has where you put the quarter in, every cart will be returned to the front of the store. >
  
  All it takes is one person leaving their cart out to create a cart island though - attaching to any other cart enables you to get your quarter back.
  The bigger problem with the Aldi cart thing in 2022 is that most people don't carry quarters these days - they need to upgrade their tech to something where you can make a deposit of a few bucks with your CC, and it only refunds you if you reattach your cart and it's geolocated in the corral. >
  
  This is a great idea but with processing fees this likely will never happen. >
  
  Maybe the charge doesn't actually go through until 24 hours later, if you fail to return the cart?
  Yeah in theory you could dispute the charge - but the point is not really to get money from you; it's to get you to return ths cart. >
  
  I love when someone going into the store takes the cart he was complaining about right before his eyes. So cringy >
  
  Nice. Do you have a clip of that lol >
  
  I hate people who don’t return their carts to the stalls as much as anyone, but that dude is tempting fate and is eventually going to get his ass beat or worst when he confronts the wrong person. >
  
  Hes been doing it for years, had a gun pulled on him and threatened, but yet to be beaten. >
  
  Not following the logic of "he's causing an accident if someone else has a petulant, impulsive reaction and has an accident." Seems like that's the fault of the person having a petulant, impulsive reaction. >
  
  Yes, great point.
  Someone cuts in front of me in line, rude but not illegal. I say, “Uhh, excuse me?”
  The person FLIPS OUT!! Throws their bag which hits someone, they knock over an old lady, kick a baby, throw a shit fit!
  Is it my fault for daring to even say something? >
  
  According to the "I was raped" self checkout video, yes. >
  
  The what? >
  
  Why did you structure your sentence like that? >
  
  Found the Mr. Lazybones >
  
  I return my cart >
  
  I'm with you. I return my cart and certainly find it annoying that not everyone does it as well. However, the cartnarc is super annoying and a complete waste of time, energy, and attention. The guy really needs something else useful to do with his life. >
  
  He's being annoying on purpose because the lazybones are annoying too >
  
  No this guy probably talks like this. Amped up like he's all hopped up on Mt dew >
  
  Watched an interview with him, he's a normal ass guy talking normally >
  
  I concur >
  
  He seriously should just become a cart collector at a grocery store >
  
  Right. Don't talk about it be about it >
  
  It’s part of a greater issue though. People not returning their carts is a depreciation of values i society, it’s incredibly lazy and annoying and it’s happening mostly in America. Think about how many stores there are… you want the dude to work in each store?!
  Also your point of how people react to being confronted is entirely up to them. People deal with adversity in different ways and it’s not his fault. People who don’t return their carts may indirectly cause damage to other peoples cars when carts roam free. But yeah the personality is over the top annoying >
  
  Not just you. That guy is terribly annoying. And as a former cart boy, the strays were always my favorite. I got to take a little stroll, be out of the store in the quiet. Maybe get a smoke in if they were far enough away. >
  
  Not as annoying as the lazy, selfish fucks that won’t put away their cart >
  
  Have you ever talked to someone that works at a grocery store? I have. A LOT of them see the cart wrangling as the best task at their store because it gets them outside and away from customers. Unpopular opinion but if the weathers nice, I park my cart in a convenient place so they have the extra time outside. >
  
  That’s not the point of it. The cart that gets left out blocks spaces for people to park. They ding, dent, and scratch people’s vehicles. They roll across the lot and knock over old people. Etc. etc. there are corrals for a reason. Any excuse you come up with is nothing but thinly veiled laziness. Be better >
  
  No. And I refuse to concede that there’s something morally wrong with not returning a cart as long as you leave them out of the way. >
  
  Lmao if that is what makes me a lazy, selfish asshole then I’m doing pretty good in comparison to a lot of people. They’re carts left out, not running stop signs, belittling employees, or littering. You really need to step out into the world for a few minutes if you feel this strongly about returning carts. >
  
  Never heard of it but sounds stupid. In my country people always return the carts, without fail. It's a very simple system really, in order to rent a cart you have to insert $10. You get the $10 back once you return it to its rightful position. 
  Never see wild carts around anywhere. >
  
  I see a great business opportunity arising for American Grocery stores if people want to keep dwell in their laziness! >
  
  I remember a target in my home city started a similar system, but no one gave a shit because you only had to put like $1 worth of coins lmao. Worked as a cart pusher all through high school and when I traveled to the UK at 16 I must say I was jealous haha. >
  
  There is also a video of him following people to their home. Dude is going to do shit to the wrong person one of these days >
  
  based >
  
  Working as a cashier in a grocery store, I used to somewhat appreciate what he did. It does get frustrating to watch people who walked all over the store, fail to bring a cart back 15 yards to where it’s supposed to be when they are done.
  Having said that, I don’t think it accomplishes anything good. ALDI’s system is golden and I wish grocery stores adopted that. >
  
  I think this is the whole issue.  The people who don't return carts aren't going to suddenly start returning them just because someone gets in their face about it.  It will often make people *less* likely to want to do it in the future (and may even lose the store business by those people not returning to that store because of the guy) >
  
  What's more annoying is having to get out of your car to remove a cart from a spot so you can park in it. If you see his videos, you notice the common theme is, people continue to argue with him over a harmless magnet...
  They COULD drive away and cart narc will not chase them out of the lot but they choose to stay and argue. >
  
  They need to sleep at night. Feel like a good person still >
  
  He may be annoying, but he isn't wrong.
  Sense OP probably doesn't return his carts. >
  
  I do return my cart >
  
  He’s not as annoying as his fans. “LAZYBONES!!” Talking to a cart narc fan is as nuanced as talking to a parrot. >
  
  Sounds like something a lazybones would say >
  
  Totally annoying, but once you are in your vehicle.. just because you are frazzled, doesn’t mean he is liable for you crashing your vehicle. >
  
  i’d rather have that guy yelling than have to move three carts out of a parking stall RIGHT NEXT to the cart rack lol. >
  
  I always return my cart and will also return any near the cart return as well, but what I don’t understand is the reaction of the people who get called out.  
  If I were to not return my cart, and someone called it out, I’d just hop out and say, “you’re right, sorry, I was in a rush” and take it back. It’s no content for them, and I don’t look like a domestic abuse case.  
  The way these people explode and throw a tantrum is insane to me. >
  
  It’s because a man decided to follow you and start mocking you whilst also vandalizing (I also understand he mostly uses magnets but I still consider it vandalizing) your car while also essentially calling you a lazy sack of shit when you could’ve maybe been in a rush to get somewhere. >
  
  You considering it ‘vandalizing’ doesn’t mean anything - By definition it is NOT vandalizing. 
  Also how many people are actually in a situation where they are at the supermarket utilizing a cart but in such a rush that they cannot return the cart before leaving? Like 1 in a million? >
  
  It doesn’t mean people can’t be in a rush. and that’s a statistic you can’t measure when you don’t know every human being’s schedule. If you touch my private property or throw anything on it without my consent then yes I will consider that vandalism and call the cops for you following and harassing me. >
  
  *Doesnt take 3 seconds to return a cart because you're in a rush*    
  *Willing to call the cops and wait 30 minutes for them to show up so you can cry because someone put a magnet on your car*    
  I hate the "whataboutism" like this. 99% of people who dont return carts do so because they are assholes, not because they are in a rush. Also, cart narc never harasses people right away, at least in the majority of videos I see, he always talks to them first, and only escalates once they escalate.    
  It must be exhausting moving through life in a way where anyone interacting with you in a way you dont like yields a "fight or flight or call the cops" reaction. Every situation I've been in in like the last 10 years where someone is getting aggressive with me or trying to escalate a situation, I just act calm, straight faced, and just use my words. I've yet to have to call the cops, fight or argue with someone, and yet the dudes I know who feel the need to argue with everyone are constantly finding themselves in fights and arguments, what a surprise. >
  
  I put my carts back but I’m also not gonna demonize anyone who doesn’t cause that makes you the biggest asshole around. It’s one thing to say hey buddy could you put your cart back. But it’s another to follow someone all the way to their car and not let them leave because they didn’t put their cart back. It’s the biggest virtue signaling bullshit I’ve ever seen and if he gets killed over the most petty shit no one has any right to be surprised other than how long it took. And yes I’m gonna call the cops on a random guy following me and recording me without my say so cause it’s fucking weird annoying. You brainlet >
  
  It’s annoying when a loose cart rolls across the parking lot and hits my vehicle >
  
  I thought this was talking about carts like the weed pens >
  
  I'm with you on this, I find him annoying as hell and purposefully aggravating people. What's bothering me more is that the comments are basically boiling to "Oh OP obviously doesn't put away their cart" just because they oppose the idea of harassing people and slapping stickers and magnets on their cars. >
  
  Thanks. Glad I'm not alone >
  
  The problem with cart narc is that this is without a doubt his main income so he’s doing this explicitly with the hopes of having someone freak out on him.
  1) he never does this in a low income area
  2) he chooses women or men that are usually physically smaller than him or clearly have some disability
  He’s been caught following women home and harassing homeless people. This guy is your regular YouTuber douchebag with an entitlement complex who’s ego keeps being inflated by likes and the “YEAHHH LAZY BONES HE FOOKIN SAID IT HA BLOCKED ATTACK” comments.
  Imo, his videos encourage people not to put the carts back in hopes that they run into the cart narc for their own self inflated purposes, causing exponentially more headaches for everyone who is just a bystander. >
  
  ​
  Your opinion is not unpopular he is annoying by design. >
  
  He’s also on a podcast called the woody show and it’s very entertaining! >
  
  Fuck that guy. Someone needs to kick the shit out of him. >
  
  “Harass strangers and then make fun of them when they react reasonably to harassment” is an incredibly popular genre of internet content for some reason. >
  
  You're definitions of "reasonably" and "harassment" are kinda skewed >
  
  Seen this dude travel to Australia and creep on some ladies to their homes.fuck this guy >
  
  As someone who always puts their cart away, I agree. He’s competing for gold in the Olympics of virtue signaling. There are thousands of better causes the time could be spent on. >
  
  Why bother recycling and picking up litter when you could be curing cancer? Why assist the elderly when you could be working to stop terrorists? There is always something better to spend your time on. >
  
  Recycling and picking up litter help prevent further ecological damage by keeping trash out of the environment, and elderly people can be a significant danger to themselves and others if they don't receive adequate assistance when they need it.
  Both are actual issues that impact society in a meaningful way. Loose carts in the Walmart parking lot are not. >
  
  Loose carts are a threat to private property as they often damage peoples vehicles, carts blocking handicap spaces and prevent people with disabilities from accessing their spots. OP wanted to play the "he should be doing something more important with his time" card, but that fallacy can be applied to anything. >
  
  Sure it can be applied to anything. Especially when what this guy isn’t doing anything to encourage people to change their ways. If anything, he’s encouraging people to leave their carts out of spite. You don’t catch flies with vinegar, and there is no legal consequence to leaving your cart out. >
  
  "Especially when what this guy isn’t doing anything to encourage people to change their ways."
  What you need a treat, and a "good boy" to do anything? you a child or an adult? The fact that you appeal to authority shows how sadly dependent on the government you are, is it really that hard to be responsible that you need the police looking over your shoulder for everything? >
  
  I’ve told you about 3 times I return my cart. Do you REALLY think the people who don’t are going to be compelled to change by this? We don’t live in fantasyland. God forbid someone who returns their cart finds his method redundant and unhelpful. >
  
  Well Id like the Cart Narc and his agents to try at least, better to do that then beg the government to write another law. >
  
  And the end of the day a lot of the blame is also on the company for not implementing the aldi-esque carts where you have a small deposit like a quarter or something. It’s easy to do if you value your employees, and it’s proven effective. They might take a very small financial hit from whiny crybaby customers, but nothing major. They’re no better than the shitheads that don’t put their cart away. It would be nice to see someone like this push petitions for this at big box stores.
  It’s not something that the government needs to get involved in, but it’s certainly something corporate needs to do something about. >
  
  Ok lazybones >
  
  Haha. I do take my cart back. I feel really bad for the people that have to round them up especially during the crappy weather and those people who get their vehicles damaged from runaway carts. But I still do not like this guy I find his voice and approach to people extremely annoying. >
  
  No idea why you're getting downloaded here chief. >
  
  I mean he's right but that's the fucking point so this is just a useless conversation >
  
  I don’t find the videos entertaining but at the same time, if you don’t return your cart you’re a drag on society and should be put on a registry. >
  
  Just put your cart back, jeez... >
  
  I do >
  
  Then what's your issue with them?  It doesn't even apply to you, lol >
  
  Its the sound and speed of his voice as well as his approach. Annoying >
  
  As someone whose actual job is to get carts (sometimes), I can honestly say this issue has gotten significantly worse twice. The first time was when people made memes pointing out how putting carts away is a sign of being decent. Shit-people take that as an invitation to be shittier; just give them a way and they will become shittier. Then the cart narc guy started and it got noticeably worse again. Those are just some facts for the thread >
  
  i guess it's different where i live, but there's a person whose job it is to collect these carts here >
  
  And your point is? Just cause it's someone's job to collect it doesn't mean you can't put them into the designated area. >
  
  Hate the fucking guy >
  
  No, you're not alone. Dude must not have better things to do. >
  
  He almost got shot before, he’s gotta be careful. People in public are too unpredictable. >
  
  Yeah, they might chase and harass him and then post it online for internet clout.
  I don't want him to be assaulted, but I would also have no empathy if he did.
  Maybe don't harass people? >
  
  I 100% agree. He's the only thing more annoying than the people not returning their carts. >
  
  agree...i hope some one beats the crap outta him!  annoying AF! >
  
  I feel bad because some of those folks look really down already. one the older ladies I remember looked sad and then he comes around like leave poor granny alone lol. However they should order there groceries online they literally put them in the car for you now! So easy >
  
  I always return my cart when I’m physical able (invisible disability), but I know so many that depend on the cart to help them get around (basically using it as a mobility aid, and can’t use a cane or a walker at the same time, or my friend who was going through chemo and not every store had the motorized carts so she’d lean on a cart to get whatever she needed, etc.) and had no energy or ability to return the damn thing when they were done. They aren’t lazy, they are dead tired and trying to get through the day, and you can’t tell by looking at them. If he got my friend on a chemo day or my mom on a day she struggled to walk as it is but she needed some eggs and milk with her broken vertebrae that can’t be operated on currently, that’d ruin their day or week, and they already live in pain (well, my mom anyway, my friend is no longer with us). Yeah, if you can return a cart and don’t, you kinda suck. I just don’t know who made this guy the Batman of shopping carts. >
  
  He doesn't care about the carts, he just cares about getting content by harassing and provoking people. >
  
  He doesn't care about the carts - he just uses them as an excuse to harass and provoke people to anger for content, then runs away when he gets scared.  He also mocked and harassed homeless people and followed women home and onto their property to continue harassing them. >
  
  I randomly think about how annoying he is. He’s equally as bad as the people leaving their carts out. I actually leave my cart out in hopes to run into this asshole. Can’t wait until we meet. >
  
  What even are you complaining about? I have no idea what a "cart narc" is >
  
  It's a YouTuber who harasses people who don't return thier shopping carts >
  
  Good, they deserve it. >
  
  He also follows single women to their homes to continue harassing them.  Major creep.
  Lmao downvoted because Redditors think it's okay to follow women to their homes for a fucking shopping cart.  Please never change, guys. >
  
  If that's true, THAT'S not ok. But giving people shit for not returning carts is perfectly fine >
  
  It's true.  He always struck me as "annoying, but I guess not any worse than the people he's harassing" to "major narcissist who clearly only does this to feel a sense of power over other people" once I learned this. >
  
  Always thought it was me being an asshole as to why I hated this dude.turns out I don't give a fuck about returning carts, but cart narc is worse than me cause he's gettin rich off being a creep.plus one for me,fuck cart narc >
  
  Though I can appreciate that he's calling people out for being inconsiderate, everyone who's laughing now is gonna be shocked if/when someone blows his head off. I may be misremembering but I believe he's already been threatened with a gun more than once. There's a lot looney fuckwads out there with guns and an itchy trigger finger just looking for an excuse to blow someone away.
  They'll claim self defense because he was harassing them. >
  
  Yes. 
  Everyone will be shocked if someone blows his head off because that would be an insane thing to do. 
  Not sure what your point is >
  
  As a person who used to work retail I fully agree and people who are trying to defend cart narc pls stfu. This man has stalked people back to their homes before and actively harasses people in their cars over something so small. People want to bring up “oh well stop wasting so much energy trying to get this man away from you and put up your cart” but that can work the same way with cart narc. He shouldn’t waste energy trying to shame and get someone to put something away risking his life over something as dumb as a cart. Most people in retail enjoy getting carts mind you because we don’t have to be inside dealing with other work that’s bs. Seriously if you support cart narc you are a blind sheep. >
  
  Maybe but the lazy bones having mfs deserve it if you ask me >
  
  I’ve seen a few videos, yeah it’s funny on the surface but it’s also straight up harassment.  
  He bothered someone who left a cart by the handicap spot.  Yeah, I get it, people leaving their carts all over the parking lot is annoying, but guys…. please don’t hassle someone for leaving the cart by the handicap spot.  They’re only making it easier for the next person. >
  
  He needs to get off his ass and do something actually productive. Go feed the homeless. Join the peace corps. Pick up litter at the beach. Something else ffs >
  
  He harassed the homeless calling them permanent lazy bones >
  
  He makes me want to not put my cart back. Dude is a tool. >
  
  I hate his attitude about it. I like the idea of encouraging people to be responsible, but his execution is awful. 
  Just feels like more self-aggrandizing, self-righteous bullshit for likes/views. >
  
  People just double down on being an asshole thats their problem >
  
  Agreed 100%. Look forward to the days he gets rocked honestly. >
  
  Found the lazybones! >
  
  He’d get shot in my area if he’d try that. >
  
  I had never heard of the guy until yesterday but I think I hate him. Just looking for anything to judge people on so he can be self righteous about it and he picked one of the dumbest, most minor offenses to do it. It just blows my mind that there are people justifying this level of harassment because someone didn't put their cart up. 
  I'm assuming this is entertainment aimed at children, like that Fred youtuber from years ago. Just more dumb, annoying stuff. >
  
  Dude people are fuckin nuts take no notice. I see people here labeling that new grinch trend as 'traumatising' ya know the thing that people whom have been in war and combat situations get. People have no idea what they are pissed off about anymore >
  
  
  labeling that new grinch trend as 'traumatising' ya know the thing that people whom have been in war and combat situations 
  
  You know that you don't have to be in war or combat situations to be traumatised or get ptsd. It could be anything from child hood abuse, car crash or sexual assault. In fact you can get ptsd from anything that is traumatic especially in childhood where your brain is still forming . >
  
  Who? >
  
  I agree. Fuck his “cause”.  A billion dollar corporation has to pay guys to chase buggies in the parking lot?  I give zero shits. >
  
  Yeah this is an unpopular opinion forsho >
  
  The dude really is cringe af. Yeah, people not returning carts is annoying and rude. Also doesn’t give you the right to throw magnets on peoples cars. Can’t wait for the video of this dork getting his ass kicked. >
  
  Lol immediately proving his point that everyone who finds him annoying are just lazy selfish assholes themselves.
  You actually want to see him hurt because he threw a REMOVABLE magnet onto someone’s car because they couldn’t do a simple task that would prevent inconvenience to others. >
  
  Naw kid. I’m not a pos. I return my carts. I hate the people he messes with. Doesn’t change the fact that he’s a loser and is asking for it. >
  
  Just return your cart 💯 >
  
  Just put your cart back. >
  
  I mean, just put your fucking cart away >
  
  And check you own fucking groceries out, plus you're scheduled to help the night shift stock. >
  
  I've been ditching my cart on the spot hoping to ignore cart narc and get my magnets >
  
  well what about if you took the cart to its designated location leaving it just anywhere can also cause an accident and if that guy gets you so enraged means you have anger issues and probably shouldn’t drive at all >
  
  Looks like someone has a case of lazybone-itis. >
  
  Lol so many cart narc posts lately
  Here's the facts
  
  Is he annoying ? Yes he is guys
  Is he doing a good service ? Yes, he is.
  Is leaving your cart in random parking spots annoying and potentially dangerous? Yes
  Has the cart narc guy followed people to their homes ? Yes, it's linked in a few of the other replies on this post
  Does he use this to make money ? Yes, it's a business not just a community service.
  Would he get money and views/clicks if people just returned their carts ? Probably not
  Does he have a major superiority complex ? Absolutely he does
  Are most people leaving their carts around just straight lazy? Yep
  
  Ok so have we beat the horse dead here or do we still wanna rabble on about someone who makes human siren noises and flags down erratic Americans leaving their carts around. Lol like I promise you, it's not that interesting or that big of a deal. >
  
  Hes doing gods work >
  
  So if someone annoys before you drive off it’s their fault you crash into something not the person driving….. right. >
  
  you got cart narc'd didnt you? >
  
  No I return my carts, also I'm in ohio so I don't think I'll ever see this guy. >
  
  stores used to hire baggers that would bag your groceries and take them to your car. we should bring that back. >
  
  Or, you can just put the cart back. >
  
  Definitely an unpopular opinion for me! Upvoted! >
  
  I think you're opinion is valid, personally I like cart narcs but I can see why his schtick is annoying. I just think it's funny that people would rather freak out and cause a scene rather than walk the cart back to the cart thing. >
  
  I guess an upvote for an unpopular opinion, but I think he’s doing great work. Just put the fuckin cart back. If people can’t handle being called out and get frazzled that’s kind of on them. If someone cuts me off driving and all of a sudden punch my wife sitting next to me because I’m so angry it’s not the drivers fault. But also why not just skip or hide his channel lol? >
  
  If you're so selfish and thick in the head not to return your cart you can go fuck yourself, and honestly deserved to be messed with. I think it's funny how some of them are so short circuited in the brain they'd rather shoot the cart narc than correct their own mistake. >
  
  What the fuck is a cart narc? >
  
  I don't understand why returning shopping trolleys has become such a weird obsession. If you don't return the trolleys then someone is paid to go get them. So aren't you doing someone out of a job if you return them? Sort of like how using self check outs lets the stores hire less people and keeps wages low. If you're getting your car damaged by a trolley on the supermarkets property then go after the supermarket. Write them letters, complain to the local press about how the shop doesn't look after their car park or their trolleys - they'll soon hire someone to go collect the trolleys. >
  
  If there is a janitor that works at a business do you throw your trash on the floor instead of the trash can? Exact same logic. >
  
  upvote because i love him >
  
  182,000 People were killed last year by runaway shopping carts.  Over 918 million dollars have been spent by insurance companies and private owners to repair damages caused by unreturned carts. Yes the numbers are all made up, but maybe now you will put your cart back. :Slaps Lazybones Sticker on back of your profile: >
  
  
  182,000 People were killed last year by runaway shopping carts.
  
  Bull-fucking-shit. >
  
  You probably leave your kart anywhere in the parking lot >
  
  I think he does go a bit too far.  I mostly think he goes overboard when he starts preventing people from leaving by standing behind them or putting the cart behind their car.  It's just a stupid petty thing for him to enforce, and I honestly don't think as many people care as much as he thinks they do. >
  
  Yeah, I get not putting carts away is kind of rude and annoying, but literally harassing people isn’t worth it. If he has all that time and cares so much he could just simply tell them they should put the cart back, and if they don’t then take it back himself.  Two wrongs don’t make a right of course >
  
  Ya, I feel like itll backfire some day and not a lot of people are going to feel sorry for him.  I do appreciate the spine it takes to confront people, and I like that he calls people things like "lazy bones" instead of actually getting in their face and aggressive about it. >
  
  These two things are true:
  1.) People who don’t return their carts are lazy assholes.
  2.) 100% of the people in these comments have failed to return a cart at one or more times.
