I’m 25 years old male and i take this to aldi stores in Germany, because of my leg problems and everyone makes fun of me saying this is only for old ladies. Should I leave it at home? Hahahaha.

  2. It’s called a Rentner-Porsche (Pensioners-Porsche), that’s why people are giving you a hard time about it. But if it helps, good for you!

  3. Don’t give a shit about people making fun of you. They are ignorant and stupid. Use the cart if it helps you. That is the only thing that matters.

  4. Just feel reassured in your superiority as you whisk away while others schlepp their grocery.

  8. lol wut who makes fun of you?! I see it all the time and use it myself (31m)

  9. Nope. Many have one here in Hannover, there many cool looking models now as well. I would just laugh with them, just go with the joke and watch how they will also buy one a few weeks from now. 😀

  11. I love this post so much. Comfort and practicality is above everything! You do you! You can try carrying a backpack as an alternative if that works given you leg

  12. Thank you very much for your fast reply, it really helps me and I appreciate your time.

  13. You do you. Put on a little old lady wig next time, hunch over and have some fun with it 😉

  14. I have mobility issues and do the same, only I never understood why I would need a Rentner-Porsche to do it. I just bring regular luggage, which doesn’t have the same association and is actually much more practical.

  15. Don’t be stupid, this needs decoration to make a statement, thought! My daughter used one for school, I always use one for shopping because nobody needs back problems when you can just wheel everything around. 💁‍♀️

  16. The mega nerd in me wants to bling this cart up with some LEDs. Or maybe a matrix on the front displaying scrolling messages or low-res pictures. Of course, the first message would be something terse telling haters exactly where to go.

  17. I’ve been using these since I was a teenager and never got any comments (except for the occasional reminder when I forgot it at the register, lol).

    People generally tend to be more focussed on their shopping or where they want to go.

    Do you live in some kind of knock-off Truman Show or something, that people randomly make comments about you wherever you go?
    Not trying to be rude, it just sounds so weird to me.

    I’m used to people being rude, but not *that* rude.

  18. your physical health is more imporant than whatever people say about you

    I own one too, rarely use it, but I’m glad to have it when I need to buy something heavy

  19. Lol. I’ve had one for the last 6 years. I’m 33. I’m 110kg. 1.90m tall. I’m no longer an athlete (may Thai/boxing) but still very fit and active.

    Idgaf. I ain’t about to carry 20-30 kg of groceries in 25c weather for my family for the week because I worry what Micha next door might think.

    XD

    I proud use my little old-grandma cart anytime of day. It’s the best thing I’ve bought. It fits exactly in my car’s trunk 😆😆😆😆😆

  20. I used one of those too for years until it broke down (started using it when i was around 18), now I have a reisenthel carrycruiser because it’s more robust. The grocery store isn’t that close my home and I’m NOT carrying my groceries that far. They’re too heavy and idc how it looks.

  21. I’m 32 years young in Germany and I use these too as it makes the 500-1000m commute home much easier.

  22. Tbh I started seeing a lot of younger men and boys using them, most people (like I did) would assume you’re borrowing it from your mom to help her shop. I know other young people using them because of health problems, so don’t let anyone make fun of you.

  26. They’re everywhere, and I have one as well.

    And I don’t identify as an old lady.t

  28. I have to make multiple trips to supermarket because I can not carry too much. I think this makes a lot of sense. We should normalize it!
