You could have avoided hitting it with your shopping cart.
It may not be right that he put it there, but even on an onus.
So yeah, it's an accident, it's an onus, it's not your fault, got to pay for it anyway.
If it was something way smaller than a car that you should not have noticed, then you would not be obligated to pay for it.
I should add that both point out that if, let's say, it wasn't the owner of the car that put it there, let's leave out the car, the glasses, let's say it wasn't the owner of the glasses that had put it there.
I see your glass.
Levi comes and he takes Reuven's glasses and he puts them on a chair.
And then Shimon sits on the chair.
So if Shimon had no idea the glasses were there, Shimon doesn't have to pay.
Levi would then have to pay because he put those glasses in harm's way.
But if Shimon did notice them and then forgot about them and sat down on them, since Shimon has to pay, Levi doesn't have to pay.
Because the one who did the damage is always going to be the person who's more likely to have to pay than the one who put the item in in harm's way.
Okay, so that is question number two.
Question number three.
I got a bunch of texts about this one, so I'm glad it made it into the list for this week.
There is an NFL player named Adonai Mitchell.
Is it permissible to say his full name given that it contains the shame Hashem?
If one avoids saying it, is that considered giving him inappropriate honor?
Is it permissible to buy or wear his jersey?
Is it preferable to refer to him instead as A.D.
