Badly stacked basket rant.

You throw your shopping onto the conveyer belt, and drop your empty shopping basket into the pile beside you. And it wedges at a crazy angle!!! Because the "Person" before you left their handle inwards!!! not outwards!!!!!

And sometimes a stack of baskets has been visited by several Bad Stackers. The angle caused by the first basket causes the handle of the next basket to flop inwards, causing the next basket to tip the other way with it's handle inwards, and so on and so on in an Escalating Bad Basket Stack, until no more baskets fit under the counter—because 5 baskets are taking up the space of 50!

It's just wrong. So wrong.

  1. I like fixing the baskets. So easy. And so satisfying.

  2. George, I'm glad you enjoy it! That is a blessing indeed! I always mentally "tsk tsk" at the state of the world today when I fix it.

  4. Badly stacking baskets is not as bad as badly stacked dirty plates and cutlery. At least when you fix up the baskets they are relatively clean and you don't get dinner goop on your hands.
