Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Hahaha, Yvonne, there strangest events sometimes make the funniest stories--even if they are strange themselves. This one is one of those. That woman must have been sitting in HER cart and fell out and hit her head during one of the times she was there. I would love to see the employees etc. Reviewing the day's video tapes and see them rolling on the floor laughing at that woman and HER cart. You did a great job telling this in a way that readers feel like they are right there. The dialogue is priceless.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Thanks for this great review. It was funny. We laughed all the way home.
Comment from Gloria ....
Haaaaa, this is hilarious, Yvonne, and I can totally see it playing out. You should've followed her for five minutes, and then gone over to her, very distraught, and told her, "I think I have YOUR cart." All kidding aside, this is a fantastic true story, and just the kind of thing that belongs in Wal-Mart. The Wal-Mart Chronicles would be a most interesting collection of short stories.
Thanks for sharing this pure joy today, Yvonne. :))

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I still laugh when I think about it. I think she must have had a screw loose. Thanks, Gloria.

I want to extend that conversation. DM= damommy and SW = Strange Woman
DM. Are you sure?
SW. Of course I'm sure. It's my car I get the same car every week.
DM. But how do you know it's your cart?
SW. It says hello to me. It knows me. It's my car cos it hasn't got any cat food in it.
DM. neither has mine.
SW. Yet. I know you you come in here to buy cat food to entice all the neighbourrhood cats away from their owners. I know where you live.
DM. I think you need help.
SW. No I just need my cart.
Enter a colleague = AC
AC. Can I help you ladies. I'm here to help.
SW. This woman has my cart.
AC. Oh no, madam you are mistaken. Both these carts belong to Walmart!

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hi Yvonne.
That is very funny. Perhaps she had a personalized license plate that you didn't see. I'm sure that was the case. I am certain no one in control of their faculties believes they have a personalized shopping cart. They all belong to Sam Walton. HAHAHA

That's true. I wish I'd thought of that at the time. Thanks, Robert.

Comment from lyenochka
Lol! That IS hilarious! My goodness - some people must have some OCD or something. I know some carts have a terrible squeak or a wheel that doesn't roll properly but this wasn't in your case.
Suggestion:
I told her both were perfect good carts in perfect working condition, (maybe "perfectly good carts" and maybe even put this in direct dialogue instead of "I told her." )

Okay. Thanks, Helen. I don't know what her problem was.
Comment from Sally Law
I've had this happen to me. Once marked, like a cat, they want it back. Like you said, it really was the same or so you thought. Sending you my best today as always,

Thanks. I hope your episode wasn't as crazy as mine was.
Comment from Janice Canerdy
Good grief! If she and I attended the same church, I would surely take note of where she sat. I'd hate to get bodyslammed for taking HER seat. This is a very amusing piece. Some people wouldn't have been as nice about it as you were. (perfect good carts--Did you mean perfectly?)

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Ha ha ha, sometimes it is just a principle people fight for and it often means nothing but awkwardness. If someone is having a bad day, it is not your fault, glad you let it go, it is best not to argue with people like that as it gets nasty, you made me smile here, love Dolly x

Comment from AJ McCall
HAHAHA!
That is so insane! It seems even weirder how it happened. But, man, that kinda stuff does happen in Walmart and since the pandemic, more craziness is occurring lol.

This was years ago. I never did know what the difference was in the carts, but apparently she did. Thanks so much for a wonderful review.

I never could figure this one out. Mother and I laughed all the way home. I still laugh when I think of it. Thanks for reviewing.
