I’ll not only return my cart, but I’ll also reorganize the carts in the return corral so that the smaller carts are on one side and the larger ones on the other. Does that make me weird?

No I do it, too. Random acts of kindness daily.

Not weird, maybe just OCD. I dated a young lady like that in college. She was an English Lit major. If you looked in her desk or backpack, her pens and highlighters were always sorted in ROYGBIV order. When we'd eat together, either in the college DFAC, or in a restaurant on a date, she would always eat the items on her plate in clockwise order.

Nope. Makes you helpful. When you see something that needs done you do it. You don’t need to be ‘invited’ to be helpful. A person who sees what needs done and does it is a rare bird. Thank you!

Honestly, it’s such behavior that has allowed Western Civilization to advance ahead of all others. Contributing to the order and cleanliness of our civic/shared spaces is an admirable trait that lifts up the human spirit. And just as with sloven, destructive practices, it is contagious.

I do that too. I also wipe the counter in front of the sink I used at the airport bathroom when I am done drying my hands. I am not a pig and I believe in leaving a place better than how I found it.

I’ll do that if the corral is so disorganized it looks like a cart might get loose. I had a car seriously dented by a stray cart once. I figure it’s worth a few seconds of hassle to possibly save someone similar grief.

DH will do that.

He likes things neat and easy for the cart person to collect and roll back in the store.

Maybe a little autistic or ocd.
