A litmus test a lot of people use to determine if you are a good person or not is if you return your shopping cart to the corral after loading your groceries into your car.

A woman named Leslie Dobson has divided the internet with a TikTok explaining why she never returns her shopping cart, and just leaves it in the middle of the parking lot.


She explained in the video, "I'm not returning my shopping cart and you can judge me all you want.

"I'm not getting my groceries into my car, getting my children into the car and then leaving them in the car to go return the cart. So, if you're going to give me a dirty look, f--- off."

She received a ton of backlash online, with many calling out the clinical and forensic psychologist for being inconsiderate to grocery store employees.

However, Dr. Dobson stands by what she said.

She told TODAY that she posted the video "because predators watch our patterns and routines and I wanted to give people permission to not return their carts if their intuition tells them they aren't safe."
