Buggy rage

[emmie]

I have seen incidents that looked like they would flare up, but this story is something else.

that's shocking behaviour! but what shocks me most is that nobody else intervened, and actually stepped over her to get off the bus! amazing, and sad.....

Nini, sadly seen this all too often. I saw a young man lying on a pavement and went to help, called the police because anything could have happened, and yet people just walked round him, or gawped and tut tutted, not a good way to behave. This incident on bus doesn't surprise me at all.

em when i travel on the bus i stand in the area where the buggies or wheelchairs go, if some one gets on the bus that needs the space i move to the seats or stand in the isle.
i have lost count of the number of times that some young female gets on with a buggy and just pushes it into peoples legs, no sorry no nothing

when i move to the side to let them in it is very rare that one will say thank you

they will then sit down next to the buggy in the seat marked up for people who have problems with mobility

DF, i know, sad isn't it that people can't be more tolerant. I was asked to move once, and having some mobility problems myself thought the person should have understood, that it would have been difficult, but no. Most of the prams are a bad design for most london buses, where they can't get down the central aisle. This incident is not the first im sure, and won't be the last, awful

What a disgusting excuse for a human being, I hope he gets the book thrown at him - vile pig!!! That poor woman and nobody helped her, my God what IS the world coming to. Some young mothers with buggies can be very agressive, I have had them pushed into the back of my legs on several occassions in queues etc, you turn round and they just glare at you - terrible.

notasyoung agree, and for some reason, though i'm no expert, it's getting worse. Bus travel seems to be a bit of nightmare these days, pram rage, who would have thought it.

having seen the way people pushed my friends son who is in a wheelchair out of the way when trying to get on the busses at disneyland this doesnt surprise me. Luckily for him, the bus driver made everyone get off until he was able to get on without fear of falling from his chair (he was even tipped out of it once by such lowlifes)

redcrx, i have seen something similar, what on earth is wrong with people.
got stuck on the bus once, because three families were allowed on with their 4x4's, asked politely for them to move but they couldn't and wouldn't, so on we went, could have been going round London for days, if i hadn't rather asserted myself, eventually....
