Yes, this, What's missing was that she drove off in a white SUV to pick her kids up from private school because she's clearly a SAHM.

Exactly. Incredibly transparent.

Instead of you being behind it - in a line no wider than the cart, you are now beside it and you and your cart take up the whole entire isle.

Pulling the cart behind me makes it much easier to shop. It doesn’t require blocking an entire aisle though - I take up the same space; I’m just in front of instead of behind the cart.

no you aren't. Unless you were born without heels, you can't walk directly in FRONT of your cart like you can walk directly BEHIND your cart.

I think what OP is describing is as such:

Imagine you are pulling a cart from south to north, going "up" an aisle at the store. If the cart is on the western side of the aisle and you are pulling the cart by the northeast corner you are now effectively taking up two "lanes" in the aisle.

+1. I stay out of people’s way regardless of how I push/pull my cart.

+1000. So tiresome.

How fast are you trying to drive down those aisles, OP? Most people are happy to move out of the way if you give them a chance. Blame the stores for putting displays in the middle of the aisle.

This is fascinating to me. I’ve never, ever noticed it, but now I expect I’ll start seeing it. It’s kind of like parking spot backer-inners—like it just became a curious thing that people started doing overnight.

It's easier to look for things in the aisle when the cart is behind you.
