Sounds like something Seinfeld would do a stand-up comedy routine about.

Anyway, I never use those damned carts. I always take a basket.

Because a plane is defined by three points and not four, so at any given time--assuming the floor and bottom of the cart aren't perfectly flat--only three wheels will be touching the ground.

Also if two or more wheels are busted they get taken out of service and occasionally only 1 gets fixed due to the above.
