Hey there, human. It’s me—your loyal car. The one who gets you to work, takes you on road trips, and never complains when you blast off-key karaoke at full volume. We need to talk.
It’s about shopping carts.
You think they’re harmless. You think they’re just innocent little wire baskets on wheels, designed to carry groceries and bulk packs of toilet paper. You are WRONG.
The Parking Lot Battlefield
Let me set the scene: You park me in what seems like a safe spot at the grocery store. Not too close to the entrance (because you respect me), but not in the back 40 acres either. You even check for rogue carts before you leave.
But the second you walk inside, they come alive.
I see them. The abandoned carts rolling freely, carried by the wind like tumbleweeds in a Western movie. The lone cart teetering on a curb, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. The worst offenders—the ones left right next to me—mere inches away from my pristine paint.
And then it happens. A gust of wind. A careless shopper. A child who thinks it’s funny to launch one like a torpedo. BAM. Direct hit. A scratch, a dent, my perfect finish ruined in the blink of an eye.
The Betrayal
And where are you? INSIDE. Blissfully unaware. Smelling candles. Debating which brand of salsa to buy. Meanwhile, I’m out here fighting for my life.
There Is Hope!
Listen, I know you can’t control every rogue shopping cart. But when the inevitable paint scratch happens, there’s a solution—Colors on Parade. Their mobile scratch and dent repair experts can undo the damage, using Sherwin Williams’ Smart Color Match technology to restore my beautiful paint job. You can be a hero in an unfolding parking lot horror story!
So next time you park, remember: Shopping carts are not your friends. And if they strike? Call Colors on Parade before I start holding grudges.
Now, can we go through the car wash? I need to wash away my trauma.
