Feel free to flame my arse, I've only come on for a rant
...
Just got on bus at a busy shopping centre with DS (3). Saw that a young girl was getting on with her smaller child so I folded my buggy up and stowed it, thinking that if another buggy got on it would be a bit of a squeeze (and I feel bit
at getting on with a child the size of mine in a buggy anyway!) So went and sat with DS on my lap in the middle of the bus.
The young girl gets on and swings her buggy round and parks it so that it is taking up two buggy spaces (buggies are supposed to face into the aisle rather than side-on IYSWIM). THEN her mother and her sister get onto the bus and plonk their arses into the seats designated for elderly/less-able people with all their shopping bags blocking the walkway. Annoying enough but when another mum tried to get on the bus with her DD in a buggy, the pondlife wouldn't move their buggy over and the driver wouldn't let the poor mum on unless she folded her buggy
You'd think that one of the three causing the disruption would help her fold her buggy but no. Instead an elderly woman with a walking stick tries to help and tries to give up her disabled seat so that the mum could sit with the buggy and her DD. I helped her with the buggy in the end.
The whole time these people left the child they were with screaming in his buggy. For an entire 20 minute journey. Migraine-inducing screeches. Not one of them tried to pacify him. The mother and her sister were sitting texting and pouting whilst the granny was on her mobile. Could not wait for the journey to end.
Now here's why you'll want to flame me; the mum looked about sixteen, the granny looked about thirty, they had fake "ugg" boots on, they were all orange with badly-applied fake tan, they had Iceland bags and I could see all sorts of shite through the bags, the mother lit a fag up when she got off the bus. They need to be exterminated or forcibly sterilised.
