In my experience, at least
the minute someone pops a kid out and gets one of those fucking buggies, they immediately lose all regard and consideration for other people who might be a tiny bit inconvenienced by, for example, having a pram rammed in to their ankles. I know they're fairly big, and they can be quite hard to manage, and that your kid's safety is paramount obviously... but is it really so fucking hard to just look where you're going with those things and not abandon them in *the* most awkward places on public transport?

What I'm saying here, Gonz, is that I agree with you. Although I can't comment about the Hassidics.

I get in the way of people using their pushchairs as missiles on purpose.
I'd love one of them to hit me. Love it.

They're all as bad as each other. In Guildford there's a covered street running from the High Street, to the other main shopping street. These two *huge* women stopped, with a pram, right in the middle of one of the doors, completely blocking it off, to fiddle with the kid's blankets.

Rather than go around, I asked one of them to move which she did, reluctantly and I said "nice place to stop". Then she told me off for being rude.

That was a bit rude
it makes you no better than them.

What asking them to move and pointing out they'd
unnecessarily obstructed an exit because they were too fucking lazy to move to one side?

Guilty as charged, I guess.

Yeah', deffo, it's like that syndrome a lot of people get when they're in a supermarket and lose all common sense in regards to a trolly (the fact that they managed to drive and park fine just adds to how mad it is that they can't control a trolly)...
...except with these 4x4-buggy-equivilent people are no longer confined to a supermarket.

Totally getchya on the Hassidics thing, but it's like when you hear the average muslim fella in the UK being told about the disgusting stuff that goes on in some places inside places like Pakistan or Iran. The Hassidics (and to a lesser extent, the 'united') are the jew's equivilient to that.

I almost caused the oppersite of the Rosa Parks incident, only on a train.

Oh, I completely forgot the obligatory hopefully-endearing-and-not-intirely-creepy potentially future relationship comment...... "I think it's best if we get a dog instead, just to begin with".
Never mind, I got myself another cracking chicken salad sandwich for dinner that I'm lookign forward too, using the leg'n'thigh meat this time thoughl.
