Why do something that’s clearly stupid?

Not sure on what it’s actually called but there is an enclosure in parking lots where people can drop off the store shopping carts without having to go back to the store to return it. And they can also grab one on the way to the store if any are there. I just saw a video where a female wants to take a shopping cart from there. You’d think she’d grab the first one sticking out and go but no. She wants to take out the one all the way where the barrier is. To make matters worse, instead of getting the other carts out of the way and then grabbing the cart she wants, she climbs onto the barrier, leans into the spot where her desired cart is, and tries to pick it up so she can bring it over the barrier. That doesn’t seem to work so she climbs through the barrier and then struggles to lift the cart. Once she manages to grab on to it and hold it she lifts it over the barrier and puts it on the other side. Then climbs over herself. Why make it hard for yourself when you can make it easy? If this video wasn’t staged and it happened for real I have no words. This girl has lost her mind.

It sounds like something staged. No one would be that stupid.

I would hope not but people have been known to do stupid things these days.

I have not seen the video, but I would have to say it was probably staged. For one thing, NO ONE is this stupid, and MOST people can't even walk 10 extra feet to put a cart away, let alone go to such great lengths to get a specific cart. It's called a "cart corral" in most places.

Let’s say it’s staged, what does that female get out of it?

I saw that video and I put my money on it being staged and she is paid for the hits she gets on that video.

I guess some people would do anything for hits or fifteen seconds of fame.

Those areas are called cart corrals in the US. Some people are that stupid, but I'd bet she's doing it to get attention on her video.

It has to be staged. Too ridiculous to be anything but.

Probably making a video for social media. Make some money I imagine because nobody in the right mind would do that

We had people that would put Tide pods in their mouth. We had people who would snort ground cinnamon. Just a few crazy things I recall hearing about. Wouldn’t put it past someone to do something like what I described in the post.

@AmbiePam I’d share the video but not sure if we can do that.
