To not move on the train?

[TheCatsMeow]

I was on a very busy packed train with my friend and DS. DS was in a sling, we had the buggy and I was feeding him. We were standing by the doors (no one offered us seats!) trying to feed a screaming baby, penned in by others standing. There was no where we could go.

People tried to push past us to get out the doors and nearly sent DS flying. I firmly asked if they could use one of the other doors and I literally couldn't go anywhere. Cue mutterings and dirty looks!

We couldn't collapse the pram there wasn't room to do and as no one had offered a seat we couldn't move anywhere! WIBU to ask them to use another door?

Waterrat - so knackering she didnt actually use said Buggy all day?

And no come to light buggy was so damn big it cant even go down a train aisle?

Realised ive actually done no work this afternoon as been transfixed by this thread

Because I had the baby not the buggy. So buggy being too big was only relevant when you asked why my friend couldn't move it.

I think it is reasonable to have an unfolded buggy on a train, being out and about with a baby is knackering.

When it isn't busy yes when it is no.

Here you would have have been told to fold it by guards on the platform.

You weren't on your own. Your DS wasn't even in the buggy.

You're just being obtuse now. Can you honestly still not see you were wrong? I'm genuinely interested now.

Just because you've never seen a buggy folded doesn't mean you can't fold it? Ridiculous logic.

Because I had the baby not the buggy. So buggy being too big was only relevant when you asked why my friend couldn't move it.

Really, OP? How naive do you think everyone here is?

I'm being genuine. But disbelieve me all you want.

I'm convinced this is a MN thing as no one in real life has these views

Gosh I am so glad I don't live in "not London" with all the commuter twats and forgetful/clumsy people and their pushiness in having the temerity to boards trains already occupied by Audacity Baby TM and his long-suffering DM (who is putting the U into AIBU for us today!)

OP - thanks you have genuinely made me laugh after a crappy day!

PS YABVU

Op, piece of advice: buy a car.

A very small number of people who don't represent most people private

I can't believe 18 pages in the OP is still trying to justify causing an obstruction and blocking the train exit.

Hope some hatched faced conductor wanders along next time she does this.

Private evil, commuter mummies.

What that is certainly not true. I get pissed off with people welding enormous unfolded prams in rush hour, and I would definitely give you side eye if I saw you get on, DOUBLY SO if I saw you get on carrying your only baby in a sling. Although I might give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you had another child who was in the buggy that you'd just dropped off. But then I'd be wondering why the pram was unfolded.

Really? Come to my office. There was a whole gaggle of us this morning talking about selfish people on the tube who travel in rush hour with young children for no apparent reason, refuse to fold their buggies and then shoot daggers at you when you have to push past them to reach the exit.

Audacity Baby and Big Buggy. Sounds like a funk duo.

OP, why did you go out in public at all? The world must be so confusing for you.

paul usually public transport is fine. Never had a big problem before apart from rude commuters pushing everyone

How many people have you asked in real life? As many as have replied here?

Another tall tale I think...

A very small number of people who don't represent most people private

I actually think we do.

Still don't understand why you didn't wait for another train if it was 'that busy"

I'm not joking about the car btw. You would be doing the world a favour.

Pike because there's some good advice mixed in amongst other things
