Cart Wheel Diss (Ep. 21)

You grab a cart. One wheel drags. You correct. It veers. You overcorrect. It locks. You do this for the entire bread aisle while hauling four pounds of fruit and a confused toddler in a wide oval around the produce section, full-body leaning at 15 degrees like the cart is a broken ship wheel and you are its tired captain. The ch-ch-ch-ch grinding squeak on the linoleum is doing a beat. You did not ask for a beat.

So you swap the cart. The second one is somehow worse — handle slightly greasy, bonus humiliation included, front wheel now spinning perpendicular to the ground as if that is a direction carts go. An employee walks past and does not acknowledge the crime. You leave a zigzag trail of shame through the cereal aisle. You came for bread, milk, and dignity. Two out of three is what they had in stock.

Episode 21 of The Daily Diss goes fully on record: the sticky shopping-cart wheel is an institutional failure dressed up as a minor inconvenience, and it will be held accountable for exactly 2–3 minutes at maximum volume.
