Just saw this on my way to work

  1. Shite that someone’s abandoned a trolley on the pavement, but at least they had the decency to put cones around it.

  2. Some lad on the council didn’t want to question his orders and got a few cones to put around the trolley.

  3. I can’t stop staring at it. You should get it printed big and frame it if the resolution is high enough. I think the fact that so few of them are broken lend it a much more mysterious air. Like if this is a result of boldness or drunken exploits as it would suggest, why did they walk away? Why not stomp every one? The anticathartic energy leaves me screaming out for closure.

  4. It is a commentary on modern Irish society. The shopping trolley, of course, symbolises rampant consumerism. It being the smaller type illustrates the shallowness of our consumerism. The ice cream cones, our short term pleasures. The obstacle of the locked gate,
    the ever present housing crisis which takes all our income leaving us unable to afford to fulfil our desires (the notably absent ice-cream). The trolley, abandoned in the street represents our homeless population.

  5. Cones in the trolley

    The rent is too high

    I look inside my wallet

    And I start to cry

    99s and wafers

    I cannot afford

    The rent is too high

    In Waterford.

  6. How does this happen. If they bought them in a shop for the trolley that must mean there was packaging, but there is none there. So they must have individually opened every packet of cones and dumped them in the trolley and took all the packaging with them, or else the packaging flew away. But why? That seems way too coordinated and long winded to be something you’d do drunk. Did they get the cones wholesale? Was an ice cream van driver collecting a delivery of cones but didn’t have anything to put them in so just found a trolley and thought it would work? WHO HAS ACCESS TO THIS MANY CONES AND A SHOPPING CART
