You look like a German tourist, you take up an entire aisle width and you're annoying. These items are a public menace.

So pray tell me, just what bag do I use when I walk 2.5 miles each Monday morning? I have my baby in a sling on my front and his things in the backpack. Including toys, changes of clothing, water for him and me, nappies, wipes, my purse and various other bits depending on the intensity of the fitness class I am going to do. I complete a yoga class, a dance class, attend a mummies meet up and luncheon all with my rucksack. I walk with a friend who also has hers on her back and baby on her front. I then walk the 2.5 miles back to the starting point, where I have left my car.
So what is your suggestion op? I get a massive handbag that weighs me down on one side? A cross body bag that will not fit around me and my baby?

Take a poxy hand bag then get a thread started about you cos you couldn't collapse your buggy with multiple bags of shopping and a baby to deal with Hmm

OP. Well I'm just off to the shops with god forbid 2 rucksacks!! DD 9 carries the light load and I carry the heavy.

I'm tempted to wear socks with sandals and Guten Tag at all I meet - However I think my German friends will be slightly offended, or laugh hilariously at your stereotype. The latter.

You wouldn't like us on a Thursday - I work until 5, pick DD up at 5,30 with her rucksack brimmed and a hockey stick over her shoulder to REALLY piss off people like you.

We do it on purpose just to annoy people like you obviously.

You're a dick.

Driving a car in order to then wear a rucksack once a week is on a par with a lobster telephone, plus extra marks for the (grammatically incorrect but fully barfsome) "mummies". Craig David could do something useful with this - "I wear a rucksack on Monday, I drag a shopping trolley along by my arse on Tuesday" etc.

You would hate to see me out shopping then. I normally have my DD strapped to my front in a baby carrier and a backpack on my back. I require quit a large turning circle, especially with sticking out arms and legs. And if you try and squeeze by then you are likely to be poked with inquisitive, sticky fingers. Funnily enough people tend to dodge out the way when they see me coming Grin
