to want to ram people in the legs with my pushchair when going through automatic doors?

[IWantAChickAndADuck]

Surely I am not the only one that gets seriously fucked off with hoards of fit healthy people cramming through automatic doors, meaning I have to squeeze though with buggy + child + shopping when there is a push door right next to it that no one uses?!!?!

yes 6feetunder - or when you run for a lift when there's blatently room but no one inside thinks to hit the open doors button, they just stare at you blankly

Also - slightly off subject - but shops that make gaps between shopping rails/aisles too narrow to get your pushchait through.

(can anyone tell I had a bad time shopping today?!)

*pushchair. I'm not sure what a pushchait is...

I just keep going now
dd is in a wheelchair and her seat has metal bits sticking out, they soon move

smoking - did you modify it?! Might get some spears attched to my pushchair

lol no, she has a seat inside her wheelchair and the footplate is attatched by metal, so it sticks out a bit

Maybe you need something like this chick&duck

costagirl - sorry, I was just taking out my frustration at seeing people barge past my 99 year old dad in the street - if someone cuts across his path, he hasn't really got any option but to stop dead, no matter who is behind him, he can't just suddenly change direction as a younger person (even with a pushchair) might do.
But your comment didn't really deserve such a sarky response, so my apologies.

lol 2shoes
(glad to hear she's better btw)

I hjave always done my damndest never to go to a shopping mall with very small dc on a staurday.

I haven't braved a shopping mall on a Saturday for about 3 and a half years for fear of facing a murder charge...

Yes this annoys me too BUT before I had DS it never occured to me and I would often go through the automatic door cos I was too lazy to push open a door!

Wow hansan, what a really unpleasant post. That's one of the nastiest I've ever read on here. Congratulations

hansan I've reported your post. There is absolutely no need for personal attacks.

hear hear bloodshot.
Chillax hansan.

yanbu. lifts used to pee me off!! i remember carrying a double buggy down the stairs because there was such a que for the lifts it was stupid and my ds1 needed a wee. after saying very loudly 'ok Ds1 if you need a wee we will have to walk down the stairs as there is a big que for lifts'. no-one moved for us. we were going into the shopping centre so no excuse for having lots of bags. half way down a nice young man helped me so there was some justice!!

urgh...I missed the post by hanson?!

*sorry hansan (mistook for the boyband!)

You didn't miss much Ducks.

Oooh...am intrigued

Don't be - it was offensive and rude - I reported it as well.

How are your buggy skills today - and have you thought of a bicycle bell of a klaxon for the buggy? I used to shout "Beep beep" when met with a stampeding hoard.

I got quite angry at a mahoosive group of girls getting in the lift at the shopping centre, meaning I had to wait for the next one, when there is a bloody escalator right next to the bloody lifts.
The mind boggles because they would have been downstairs quicker if they had used the escalators.

Has been a long time since I've had to negotiate town with a pushchair, but I don't remember having so much trouble. Have people got ruder in the last 9 years or do I live in a particularly nice place (full of toursits actually so the locals' attitudes are minimised somewhat)?

YABU.

I've managed to use a pushchair without having the multitude of problems other people seem to experience.

I always love the people who ram my DS2 with their buggies.
He has SN and has to hold my arm so we two 'fit and healthy' people have to use the automatic doors.
Actually we get barged by buggies quite a lot. I took him to the zoo for his birthday yesterday and lots of mums rammed him with their buggies there too - so that their Dcs in their pushchairs could see better. One woman hit him twice and her DD was asleep

We shouldn't really go out and get in the way of people. Fucking unreasonable we are.

pagwatch my dc doesn't have SN but the chariot-pushers jostling to get their dcs the best view really winds me up, too. If they're interested (and awake) lift 'em up and they'll see even better. And move your bloody gargantuprams outta the way so dcs who actually are interested (but are too big to lift easily) can see. Its the old Starbucks sofa thing all over again
