Pramspreading - anyone noticed it recently?

Recently I have been noticing this phenomenon and was wondering if I am the only one. I call it "Pramspreading" and it's 95% done by men... (totally anecdotally)

When a man, showing off his manly long legs and stride takes his child for a stroll... but because of his manly long legs can't possibly walk behind the pram like a normal person... oh nooooo!

The pram goes on his SIDE, while he holds it with a (manly) hand and on the other hand is usually a coffee or the phone...
So this long legged manly man takes over twice as much space on the pavement because of his side pram... Pramspreading...

Is this a phenomenon local to me?

I have seen it a lot. Many of the men seem to do that walk at the same time. The walk that really muscular men walk like due to their muscle mass but skinny men do it too to try and look as though they have muscles. So they have a pram on one side with their legs bowed and the other arm hanging out further than it should be.
