I don't know what it is about shopping carts, but whenever I take one from inside the store I get one with a wobbly or sticky wheel. If I bring one in from outside I rarely have that problem. Karma, maybe?

Yeah and evidently your bad karma is spreading thru Auto Care like a virus, coz I get the same wobbly carts.
I called the local Lowes to complain about their carts always being rammed together as through they push the string of them into the wall with a forklift, and that way more than 50% have Wobble Wheel Syndrome. I offered the subtle threat that Home Depot isn't out of my way and they always have good carts that aren't in the process of mating. He was unmoved, so I opt for Home Depot.
Well there's that, and the pep rally I heard him giving his employees just after he opened one day, saying his goal is to put the local Sears out of business. Didn't seem like the kind of raw raw raw you let customers hear.

If we are talking about karma, I remember many times as a teenager going to the car wash after mudding and leaving the place destroyed. I always remember it when I am cleaning out one of those bays.
As to societal ills, as we have moved further from God and more to self, things listed in these threads are only natural.

Confessions
I totally forgot about an even better one.
In my early 20's, I had a trunk full of trash in my MGB. (Ok, a small car so not a huge amount of trash.)
Driving around, I found a really nice little office building on a quiet street. I pulled around and did the dirty deed-- putting all my trash in the dumpster.
Twenty years later, I was at work in my office when I decided it was time to empty my small wastebasket of trash. I walked to the back of the office building, which I now owned and .... wham .... it hit me. I now owned and worked in the exact same building where I had twenty years ago started my career as a wannabe trash dumper.
Finally, to complete the story, a couple of years after that I came to work one day to find what looks like the rear axle of a car dumped behind my building. I just smiled-- I wouldn't have prosecuted even if I had a license number and video.

Better an axle, than a body.
