Why should everything be safer... so they can get inside to be a well trained consumer? Parking lots could have ramps and pitfalls, swinging log traps, and speed boosts on the ground near corners. Not everything needs to be corpo friendly.

people would just take the ramps and log traps and speed boosts apart and sell them on ebay

he came over to me while I was loading my car because he was "drawn to [me] by [my] shirt," after that exchange and proceeded to spit some pretty good rhymes so I gave him a couple bucks and a cigarette, so he did get something out of it

I had a grocery parking lot near-incident recently. I was loading groceries into the back of my car and when I turned around, I saw my empty cart rolling away. I quickly ran after it and caught it right before it banged into a new looking luxury car. I thought it was pretty sweet that I was quick enough to stop it. But that wasn’t enough for the guy who was sitting in the car. I didn’t know he was in there watching because of his tinted windows. He opens the door to yell at me to be more careful next time, and make sure I knew my cart almost hit his precious Lexus or whatever. I said yeah ok bro, (sure thing DICK) and left. It was a nice catch but rather than everyone being relieved, he needed to prolong the moment and make it lovely.

Some people WANT to be mad about something, even something that didn’t actually happen. They want some poo poo to happen that they can scream at you about, or threaten a lawsuit, let you know that they’re armed, or follow you to your house. Getting up every morning to spend the day deliberately dragging that reaction out of random people is psychotic.

If you were one of the people that he went viral filming, is there any type of law suit you could throw at him? I’m just curious how guys like this manage to make a living on it, because even if it’s technically legal I feel like they’d end up in court a lot.

I mentioned it before but loving with people's cars with magnets is a no go. All someone has to do is say that he scratched the paint job and whoops that's vandalism get hosed cart weirdo. The police, your insurance, and any lawyers will (assuming competence) take that just as seriously as if someone walked by your car and deliberately keyed it. That it's on camera means this guy would be hosed. Which makes me wonder if he ever hasn't uploaded video to help get away with that sort of gently caress up given the sheer number of videos he has doing this.

Stuff like chasing people around the parking lot while having a bullhorn and yelling "LAZYBONES" in random people's ears while wearing a bulletproof vest is also going to have even remotely competent cops show up to introduce you to the pavement fast for fear that you're some sort of psychotic lunatic that needs to be kept watch on. The idea of dressing up like that to harass people for a bit in the age of American mass shootings is so dumb that it's ridiculous. :lol:

Add on that he sometimes follows them out of the parking lot and basically stalks some of them until their temper breaks and that's pretty much harassment and attempting to incite something.

Though given that this guy originally did this for a radio show or something i'm sure he's got good enough lawyers to bail him out of the trouble he puts himself into so he can keep on loving with people. Folks who aren't backed by money typically don't act like this for long. They gently caress around, find out with a lawsuit or charges, and then tend to fade into irrelevance as the consequences keep mounting up and they can't afford to keep acting like this. The ability to buy your way out of trouble is part of what a lot of these pranksters rely on when the consequences come knocking. :shrug:

You'll also note that the ones he goes out of his way to get a bigger reaction out of sometimes seem to be poor. Which also probably helps insulate him from consequences. Can't make the richer guy feel consequences with a lawsuit if he's touring less fortunate places where people can't afford to fight back!

Thus, instead of confronting these people, Cart Narc should help put the carts away, making that parking lot safer.

Agent Cameron does this a lot. He's just taking back carts (trolleys) until he spots a Lazybones committing an offence. And if you watch the video of him I posted earlier you will see an example of him taking the trolley back for someone because they admitted their mistake.

My brother in christ, this guy rolls up on people in a full on meal team six tacti-cool outfit like what you see at extremist right winger protests and starts yelling the word lazybones at them while slapping poo poo on their cars. Most people would call the cops just to be sure he won't pull a gun on them in whatever fit of mania he's in the midst of dealing with.

Yeah you guys keep saying this and then others keep reiterating that it's actually a fairly bulky dude wearing a visible bulletproof vest approaching them, filming them, and acting weird, aggressive, and hyper while flinging insults at them. He is intentionally trying to get them on edge to get a rise out of them and film it. He also follows them when they do attempt to drive away.

That last bit is important. When his targets attempt to de-escalate by driving away he then follows them and keeps the pressure up so he can get content at their expense. It's no wonder some folks break and smack the guy on the head to get him away from them. De-escalation was attempted and was soundly rejected by the guy who looks like he chills with the proud boys in his spare time. At that point force is the only way to get him to gently caress off.

I'm genuinely surprised this guy hasn't gotten the absolute poo poo beaten out of him by now given that.
