kids r us

i hate pushchairs. buggies. prams. whatever you call them.

it's not the carriage itself, more the people who push them. and women are the worst offenders here (anyway, it's comparatively rare to see a bloke pushing one). quite often I have been stopped in my tracks as the only possible gap in which to pass is blocked by a buggy slowly ambling through. Driven by someone looking in a completely different direction.

I say in my head as I pass: don't you care that you're shoving your beloved child towards unknown territory while you rubberneck at god knows what?

But I have seen this before - in the supermarket. they look at the items on the shelves, slowly pushing the trolley onwards.

So maybe there are similarities between a small child and the weekly groceries. The more I think about it the more there are. Maybe this is reasonable behaviour after all.

  • You've obviously never come across that well known fact that women have amazingly good peripheral vision.
    It is also well known that men are the complete opposite and have terrible tunnel vision.
    Therefore it is not the fault of the women pushing their prams because they are well aware of the fact that you are there, but in fact, your own fault for not seeing them sooner and getting out of the way :)

  • whether they need to or not is not the issue here

    but for arguments sake, lets say the kid was tired on account of just being born
