Showerthought: I was the guy who never put his cart back

I was at the grocery store in my town yesterday, and I left my cart right next to my car to hurry inside from the rain. I saw this older lady struggling to push her cart across the lot in the downpour to the corral, and it just hit me. My small choice to save 30 seconds was making things harder for someone else and leaving a cart loose to ding a car. I've been doing it for years without a second thought. Does anyone else have a small habit they realized was actually pretty selfish?

Seriously though, patp79, is a stray cart really "more work for everyone"?

Notice how many small daily choices are like that, where saving ourselves a tiny bit of time makes more work for everyone else.
