My dad is fighting me for not letting him take home a Walmart shopping cart

I shit you not, my dad is pissed at me because I'm not letting him take home Walmart shopping carts. Like, a lot of them. He's 63 years old and has the habit of taking home Walmart carts to keep at his house to set his grocery bags on when he's cooking shit. <br><br>He's not the only one to do it, this is a common meme shit even at 15 years old. I (25) did it at least once when I was in college to make my life easier and it didn't last me long. But this dude is doing it so often that he's been told not to do it. <br><br>He's also shit at actually taking the carts like, 20 feet to his house (and then he'll complain about how tired he is). When he goes grocery shopping, it's two times a month and he always buys shit in bulk. Walmart carts cannot handle that much weight. He'll take them out and they'll collapse. That's when the pissed people call the cops on him for stealing. <br><br>Last night, I got a phone call from my dad at 11pm at night shitfaced asking me to bail him out. (For context, he does not drink often. When he does, he drinks until he isn't feeling anything anymore. Turns out, he was told he was trespassing at shit o'clock in the morning and they called the cops. He's 63. He told the police that he was waiting for Uber to pick him up and they didn't believe him. So they took him to jail, where he pissed himself. <br><br>He got out with a monetary bail, and is now demanding that I braid his hair because he doesn't know how to hold his head because it's hurting. Mind you, he can't drive until court, which is in two weeks. <br><br>I am at my wit's end with him and I want to know how I should approach him so we can have a conversation so he can listen to me for once in his life.
