This stranger is walking by me as I'm loading my car with groceries and I take the cart and put it between the front of my car and the other car in front of me and DIDN'T take it to the cart corral. Obnoxious dickface throws his hands up in the air and says "come on dude the corral is right there!!". Then tough guy says to his wife "What a fucking asshole!". I barked at him LOUDLY that he can go fuck himself BECAUSE what Mr. Magoo didn't see was the guy parked in front of my car, where the cart was now between our cars, had signalled to me that he would like it since I was done loading my car!!

Should I have let it go? What would you have done?

How much online shopping do you do? What do you mostly buy?

I don't do as much as I used to, but when I do, it's usually a book I didn't find when I went to the actual store.

Disciplinary Role – In some households, the father was seen as the authority figure for disciplining children.

Even in traditional gender roles, men weren’t completely free from household tasks. It's just that their work was often more physically demanding and focused outside the house, while women handled more of the day-to-day upkeep inside.
