The last temptation of the trolley
I'd just finished assisting my parents with their grocery shopping, and being a good son, helpfully offered to take the trolley back to the nearest drop off point.

After I'd been pootling along for a couple of minutes, and was about half way to my destination, I could realise my true purpose for being a temporary trolley monkey. I started jogging, and then running, and with sufficient speed, I jumped onto the trolley and began gliding gracefully through the Asda car park.

Sadly the graceful part only lasted a mere 5 seconds, before I hit a pot hole, developed a severe wobble, and turned over my vehicle, landing in a heap.

I got up without any real damage, uprighted the trolley and carried on my way, gratefully smug that no one had seen my childish fun go awry. My smug feeling quickly disappeared when I saw a young girl, maybe 10, looking disappointed and shaking her head at me.

I was 25 at time of said incident.
