Today, I was grocery shopping with my kids. As I was buckling them into their car seats, two men jumped out of a truck, hoisted my cart and sped off. According to security, this has become a regular occurrence at the store. My entire month of groceries gone in seconds. FML

Classic blunder

By Anonymous - 09/08/2024 06:00 - United States

Today, I was grocery shopping when I left my cart to grab an item. I returned, and started pushing the cart again. Halfway through the store, a furious lady confronted me, demanding her cart back. I had to walk back in shame to find my own actual cart, which was now nowhere to be found. FML

Pumped

Today, while pumping gas at the gas station, two men pulled up to my car, opened the passenger door, grabbed my handbag and sped off. The $2000 handbag that my husband worked pretty much all last year for to gift me for Christmas, my wallet, and my diabetes medication. FML

Today, at the supermarket, a man collapsed. I gave CPR while the cashier called for help. During this, the other patrons were complaining that no other register was open. Once the ambulance arrived, I returned to my cart to find items removed and 40 dollars taken from my purse. FML

Get back

Today, after shopping alone at a grocery store, I was taking my groceries back to my car when a kid grabbed one of my bags and ran. Deciding not to risk leaving the rest of my groceries stranded, I didn't chase him. Later, I realized that was the bag my credit card was in. FML

Today, I helped this guy get into his truck after he'd locked his keys in it, and he said thank you and went on his way. Ten minutes later, a woman came out of the grocery store and freaked out, saying someone stole her truck. I helped a guy steal a truck. FML

Today, while bagging my groceries at a store, a lady came over to me, took a good look at the food I'd bought, picked out an item and put it in her bag. When I confronted her, she called security on me and told them I wanted to steal her stuff. I got thrown out and she walked away with a smirk. FML

Heist

By Pedro the Basuraman - 11/05/2018 20:30

Today, after 27 years of dedicated and loyal service, it finally happened, I was robbed at gunpoint at work. The whole heist only took about 30 seconds and the perpetrator took off without taking anything from me. I still don't get it. What kind of screwball would hijack a garbage truck? FML

Don't bother

Today, I was at the store when I saw that a cart in the checkout line next to me was starting to roll away and the owner hadn't noticed. I tried to help by reaching out to stop the cart from moving, but when the owner saw me with the cart, she began to hit me for trying to steal her purse. FML

Weird old lady of the day

Today, I was at the supermarket when an elderly lady asked if I'd grab some coffee for her from a high shelf. The moment I took my hands off my almost-full shopping cart, she made off with it. I ended up getting thrown out by security after she claimed I was trying to steal it from her. FML

Today, while shopping, I was grabbed and dragged off to a security room with no warning. Apparently, the way I was dressed and walking was suspicious. FML

If it's such a common occurrence, sounds like they need to do something about it. Like beef up their security. I doubt they'll reimburse you for what was lost though, even if you show them your receipt and get the exact items. Still, we live in such a sad world. :( At least they didn't get your kids!

I told you car seats are overrated! They’re just golden opportunities for cart-jackers!

What the **** would they even do with a load of groceries? It's not like there's a black market for loaves of bread.

I worked a charity event where they were playing a kind of scavenger hunt in the grocery store and everything was to be donated to the local food bank. Someone took off with one of their carts after they paid and were distracted!

Well, now you know you have to put the groceries in your car BEFORE your kids... I think they won't try to steal the cart if the kids are still in it!

They just took off running, full tilt with your cart, didn’t take any time to load a FULL MONTH’S GROCERIES into a car or truck or whatever (where, even if you couldn’t stop them, that would sure take enough time to ID the vehicle in the security tapes), just sprinted off down the road and no one was able to catch them? Every grocery store I’ve been to in the last 10 years or so has their carts set to trip a car boot type break the second it hits the perimeter of the lot.

If nobody's trying to steal kids, what's the AMBER Alert all about? And what really happened to Elizabeth Smart if she wasn't abducted? What about Etan Patz? I assume that was a sick joke by whichever company's milk cartons his face appeared on?
