Some of those are sooo bad. But ones like the pop bottle is kinda understandable. My grandpa for sure would do that! The rake is a kinda funny, but good idea I guess.

One of their stores was right next to a government housing complex and they would lose tons of carts that way. They tried sending an empoyee out to collect them up and he got the crap beat out of him, until they figured out that if they sent someone early Sunday morning the people who had actually stolen the carts would be passed out and wouldn't notice you were taking their grills back. I'll figure it out eventually. Until then you may want to keep a safe distance.

I would trade my bike for that one, any day. But that swimming pool... Those tablets you throw into them to keep the pool clean make the water a pretty good conductor. On the other hand , you are throwing in an entire socket, so the ground is actually in the socket as well, so perhaps it will only shortcircuit the socket itself.
