Hah! It gives new meaning to the “trolley problem”, too. I understand it to mean street-based urban rail transit, but now I’m imagining a runaway shopping trolley hurtling towards people tied down in the middle of a supermarket aisle.
The only terminus where trams decided to enter the water was at Athol Wharf, and on three occasions trams ended up in Sydney Harbour.’ This was the last, on 22 January 1958.

Today I learned that what you call "trams" we call "trolleys" -- was wondering how you could dump one of those without being noticed.

For some reason I can imagine this happening in a Walmart.
I’ve visited the US and been to Walmart, I could see it. But actually probably more likely with mobility scooters lol
Well, it sounds like you were there long enough to read the room!

Whoever did that deserves style points.
