Greetings Curious Scroller,
If you've never landed in this part of cyber space before, you have taken a hard, fast plunge into the fiery depths of work hell. RHU is dedicated to giving the service worker a voice. If you are an angry customer, a corporate suite, a homophobic race-hater, and you don't like skull masks or swear words, this blog isn't for you. Click away now, before your ears bleed and your eyes explode.
I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of Retail Hell Underground RHU -- a place for service slaves to have a voice, tell their story, support each other, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of "Retail Hell," the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store! The sequel, "Return To The Big Fancy," has just been released in hardcover and e-reader and is available wherever books are sold!
This guy needs a clue stick upside the head.

I want to know how the hell they got out of it! Did they climb out the back window or the side window? I would love to have a nice small car like this and be able to park anywhere, but the "anywhere" wouldn't be a douche move like this.

I'm guessing they got in/out via the boot. Mind you, the guy probably thought that he was being pretty clever - he doesn't have to worry about all those loose shopping trolleys rolling into his car and messing up his paintwork!
It'd almost be worth the price of buying a length of chain/padlock just to see the guy trapped in there...

@MM- *Almost* worth it? I keep one of those cables for securing car covers and a lock with me just for these occasions.

... I would have rammed a cart straight up that car's ass. That'd teach 'im.

That's when you take your sharpest key and make a full circuit.

I'd park a couple or three shopping carts right behind his car (more if I could find them) just to piss him off. If I wasn't in a hurry, I'd wait around to see his reaction when he came out of the store. But I agree with Humor Me, how the fuck did he get out of the car?

Maybe he got out through the sunroof? Does that kind of car even have a sunroof? I guess either that or he crawled through the trunk.

My guess is that the driver parked in a real parking space and someone in an SUV manhandled the smartcar into the cart corral to steal their parking space.

I think it's pretty cool that he/she even managed that!
But I personally wouldn't do anything to harm their car. That's even more rude.

They weigh next to nothing. Buy a high school football team a couple pizzas, and you can have them move it anywhere you please!

The other possibility; those cart corrals aren't always attached to the ground. At the local Walfart, I've seen them knocked over and folded up several times.

My work place had an issue with people doing this, so we just modified a forklift and started pulling them away, was great fun.

Just to play devil's advocate it could be that the driver parked their wee little smart car in a regular parking space and a group of guys moved it as a prank. As others have said, they can be man-handled by a determined group of guys (or gals).
One of my dad's favorite stories to tell was when he was in high school and him and his buddies moved the English teacher's VW bug into the middle of the school's main hallway as a prank.

I'm also assuming someone did this to bust the guy's balls. Some shit disturbers in my city once got a police cruiser into a fountain (not sure how).
