To think people should take a bit more care then to let a pram roll away

[KIMItheThreadSlayer]

I have just grabbed a run away pram and I feel quite

Finished work and now have hour before picking up DS2 from after school football, so headed to costa got out my lap top and caught up with MN.
2 women 3 small children and a pram come i8n and while deciding where to sit the pram with a small child in rolls away and they do not notice, it rolls down the slop by the door and is almost on the fecking pavement by the time I am out of my chair and grabbing it, and they still do not notice, then she turns to me as I drag the pram back in and says "oh sorry" ????

FFS wake up you doppy cow

More like a hippo then a gazelle,

And I am not a scary woman, well not all the time,

no no hun dont minimise your heroic efforts!

If a hippo rescued my pram I'd be alarmed I have to say. I reckon I could take a gazelle though.

I never said I was a hero.

I bet all those posters who have said someone stopped their run away prams, trollys and so on said thank you.

I guess I am just break mad though as I always break up my mums wheelchair, although Icould forget and let her roll away

/phones morethen to up mums insurance

Only let her roll away when you want to pinch a laptop or a comfy seat.

hell hun i am announcing your heroism!the coffee shop mama who stopped cappuccino kid splatting froth in a brake make splat disaster

LOL

DH let DD's pram roll away down the road when she was a baby (he was so interested in his ice-cream that he forgot he was supposed to be holding on to the pram). I chased it and stopped it just before it went into the road. I have not forgiven him yet, and she's now 5!

Of course, I'd expect a mother to know better .

"Ok I am being unreasonable for thinking someone should take more care with a child. I can accept that, it is the way people who were not there think they have a better take on what actually happened then the person who was there that I find pissy."

I think this YABU in making this comment, afterall, isn't that the whole point, nay the joy, of AIBU, indeed Mumsnet, to make overarching judgements on situations on which people don't have all the details?

Burn feckless husbands too!

I shall see my story to the daily mail forthwith, better then reading about sodding Jorden

Just to add, I did not have a coffee, I was killing time and using the internet

Excellent idea:

'The truth feckless mothers must know; letting go of your pram handles will give you cancer, admit more illegal immigrants to the country and lower house prices to 1996 levels'

did you get to sit your arse down at all,in beteween grabbing buggies.

or was it all go

But but but but....

what kind of pram was it?

I momentarily lost my 2 year old dd in Tesco's the other day. It was only for about 15 seconds but I was terrified, especially as it was my fault - I had been distracted and not watching her. When a shop assistant found her I was so relieved I forgot to thank her

I agree it was slightly careless but it is easily done, especially in a shop where you do not expect a slope. I don't use my brakes in shops very often. I have also let go of buggy to stop DS throwing himself on the floor and DD ended up upside down in a hedge. As I said, easily done but well done for grabbing the buggy before it got out the shop

Count yourself lucky acrylic that tescosaint isn't on mumsnet otherwise you'd have been in for a roasting too!

I think the pram was one of those lulu guiness maclarens or else a silver cross the size of Belgium.

i would only have grabbed a bugaboo.cheapo bone rattler,no way

I make it a habit not to save more then one run away pram a day, now I was thinking tomorrow of putting my knickers on over my jeans, do you think a cape would be too much? super kimi the judging queen.

Can you order a 'feckless death=ray' please - so you can zap the unworthy after you save their snot encrusted offspring from a fate worse than Starbucks?

knickers over your jeans,is that so the elastic doesnt dig in as you run after the escapee prams

PSML at this thread. Especially Pram in a Reservoir (sounds like a Morrissey song title) and Royal Marines.

Always count on mumsnet to get you grounded Yes I was being a bit unreasonable, I just hate people being careless with young children. messing with my coffee time

You've been a good sport I hate it too - particularly toddlers wandering free in car parks - aaaargh
