Shopping carts

Why is it that every single time I go to the grocery store, I get the cart with issues?!?!!

Bum wheels, squeaky gears, bad alignment.... you name it, I've probably had that cart! I have even gone really out of my way ( and annoyed the cart boys) to grab carts in the middle of the pack, not just the next one available and sure enough- it has issues!! Last night i stopped quickly to grab some things for us for the weekend at the lake. We have those mini carts at Giant that are perfecto for getting a few things, but more stuff than you can put in a basket.... so they are really small carts and of course there was a lone cart sitting outside so i used it..... i must have looked ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could barely steer it up and down the aisles- the alignment was that off it pulled to the right- severely!!!! I had to use all my force pushing to the left just to go straight, so trying to TURN left was absolutely ludacris!!

Does anyone else always seem to get the 'bad' cart? Maybe they are all bad and everyone feels the way I do- we shall see!!

On another completely different note- why is it that we never use the word Spangle any other time besides 4th of July?? "Star-spangled banner".... that is the only time i have EVER heard the word Spangle being used.... some synonyms for spangle are: adorned, decorated, sequined, beady.... it's a fun word if you think about it!
