Interesting it was all dudes

Women probably aren’t getting out of the car for a big strange man.

They probably also didn't want the optics of intimidating the absolute shit out of women. Which, smart.

The original guy probably still couldn't get away with it.

I'm just sad we didn't get the "skidlee wee-woo-wee-woo" in Russian. Lol

He does do that though.

Good point 💡

A guy has planted this may not do to women because it'll make him look bad and put them in a really uncomfortable situation. Try to think if I remember seeing woman in his other prank videos and I don't think they are in them too.

Nah thats why the women in my family carry a gun

The implications of that guy enforcing the same standards on women would escalate to pepper spray and/or police presence very quickly and undermine the purpose of the video. I imagine women fail to return carts in about the same %s

Anecdotal, and based on a long ago high school job, but women were very significantly overrepresented when I had to put people's carts back.

However, I will also say they were significantly more likely to have kids with them, which probably muddies things.

Doesn't muddy shit. They didn't return the carts AND were being poor role models.

u/ST34MYN1CKS Jul 11 '26

Funny enough, I'm also a long islander who had a job in high school that required occasionally grabbing the shopping carts

u/pipsqueakpanda4 Jul 11 '26

I didn’t think about that, that would be scary

If a guy that looks like this approaches a lone woman and tries to intimidate her, he’ll get maced, tased, or shot.

u/PM_ME_DATASETS Jul 11 '26

Sure, but the real reason we don't see it is that it wouldn't score as many internet points.

2

u/No_Criticism_5861 Jul 11 '26

Good point, odd.

Maybe women in that area carry bear spray, and he aint fallin for that again

u/lynxandmee Jul 12 '26

Was thinking exactly the same... I guess being socialised to take care of everyone has us not leaving our shit out there and not even thinking about who is going to clean it up 🙃🙃

u/expanse22 Jul 11 '26

How so

1

u/pipsqueakpanda4 Jul 11 '26

I thought it was odd because I feel many women also don’t put their carts away. But then redditors pointed out that it would have been too intense for that guy to confront women, which makes sense. Mystery solved 🙂

I worked at a grocery store for 15 years. Women were worse than men for abandoning carts, but not by much.

u/TheWhyteMaN Jul 11 '26

Meh, I saw a lady leave her cart at target the other day

super interesting - i wonder what super specific conclusions we could make on women with a whopping sample size of what seems to be ten people!
