Pram Tax
My ex may have been a psychotic she-devil, but she sure knew how to deal with mothers with prams/pushchairs/buggies/pavement 4x4s containing screaming brats. When asked to get out of the way, or shoved aside, by someone wielding one of these behemoths, she would engage in the following conversation:

Ex: Have you paid your Pram Tax?
Mother: My what?
Ex: Your Pram Tax
Mother: What are you on about?
Ex: You know, the extra tax you pay that gives you more of a right to the pavement than me because you have a pram?
Mother: What???
Ex: Oh you haven't paid it? Well in that case you'll have to fucking well wait in line with the rest of us, won't you?

It's a technique I can heartily recommend.

I was just going to post the same thing
Even worse is when you see mothers pushing prams about the size a T-34 tank stuffed with shopping but without a child anywhere to be seen.

Or the ones where the 'child' in the pram is almost old enough to have a Gillette gift pack for Christmas.

Or the way that two mothers with Chieftain Prams walking side-by-side can somehow manage to completely obstruct a 45 foot wide pedestrianised high street.

Oh, yes. I've had women drive prams right into my ankles before when I'm standing still in the middle of an empty space.
Also: those pushchairs that have just one huge wheel at the front and are the size of jeeps. They are clearly designed to look aggressive and make the owners feel like they own a tank. I mean, they actually look like the buggy things out of Dune 2.

Yes.
The worst are the ones who really think they own the entire world because of their monster pram - an extension of the 4x4, no doubt, and run over your toes yelling "SCUSE ME PLEASE!" - no, just because you've spawned does not mean you have right of way!

Agreed
Some bint ran into the back of my ankles the other day while I was waiting to cross a very busy road. So, I'll just get run over while you give your fat spawn another Finding Nemo biscuit? Piss off.
