Freaking people who leave their carts in a parking spot… Straight to the top of the list!

Over here in Germany using a shopping cart "costs" between 50 Cents and 2 €. You have to put a coin in them to release the chain by which they are attached to eachother. Of course when you return the cart and close the lock you get your coin back.

Little metal plates without monetary value but still the right size are common marketing gifts by companies and organizations yet they still provide mostly the same unconscious effect of "I want my coin back".

Of course there are also people who use little gadgets to unlock the carts without putting anything in but I wouldnt know about such things...

It can cost much less than 50 cents

0.5 RON can be used, which are about 10 cents. You can also use fake plastic coins
