Pram vs

This just happened on the bus so thought it would be interesting to see who wbu. on the bus, baby is in her pram, next to me is another pram there is a space between our prams and in there was an elderly ladies shopping trolley. After a few stops a lady with a buggy gets on and stands there looking at the space. The old lady does not move her shopping trolley. A man behind the lady with the pram shouts loudly at the old lady to move her shopping trolley. It descended into an argument as old lady didn't want to move it. Old lady gets off bus at the next stop as man is being argumentative. Lady with the 3rd pram said nothing. At first I thought she was with the man but she wasn't. Who was unreasonable (personally I thought lady with pram should have folded)

Well if there was nowhere to move the trolley too then that’s simple - she can hardly be expected to get off with it! The man’s insistence suggests he thought there was a space.

Most buses do not have space to accommodate 3 prams, and a shopping trolley would take up less space than a pram anyway . The old lady was perfectly entitled to leave her trolley where it was unless someone could have lifted it into the luggage rack if there was room, then lift it off again at her stop . Much more of an issue is the fact someone was allowed to get away with shouting at and intimidating an old woman without anybody saying anything to the extent she had to get off - shame on everyone on that bus including the driver

Well done all the people that intervened in a man attacking an old lady that could be your nanna next time!
As said above you can only fit 2 pranks on a bus anyway so she should have just folded it.

Indeed.

All of you who maintain "Pram before everything" might reflect on being old one day. It's inevitable - at least you can hope so.

The alternative is worse.

There was space for the extra pram as she managed to squeeze in once the old woman got off. But she didn't say anything through out the whole thing.
