In this cold, cruel world, it’s increasingly rare to find someone doing a good deed without the expectation of something in return–mainly the opportunity to go viral so then they can leverage your emotions to start a GoFundMe in hopes of scoring a free Vespa and a flat-screen TV. All for holding the door for someone in a wheelchair. Shit, our standards have plummeted.
The truly admirable deeds are the altruistic ones, and sometimes you find those in the most unlikely of places. In this case, West Virginia. During torrential downpours and strong winds, a woman in the parking lot of a Walmart in Hurricane, West Virginia (the irony), did what most people wouldn’t bother to do on a sunny day–return that motherfucking grocery cart.
A woman named Katrina Rigdon captured the heroic act on camera. At the time of me writing this, the video has over 6 million views.
Good on this lady. The people who don’t return their carts in the parking lot should be corralled together with the people who pee on public toilet seats and the people who post “Take me back” Instagram photos to happier times and be shuttled to Mars. Elon Musk, quit fucking talking and just do it you fraud.
It’s been a long week.
