Picture this: you are walking along minding your own business, you have adjusted your speed to the people around you and everything seems to be fine when all of a sudden THE most annoying thing EVER happens – the person in front of you stops. Suddenly without even giving a hint that they will slow down, let alone stop. Invariably you end up walking straight into that person or throwing yourself to one side which means that you tackle another innocent bystander. A variety of this is when someone gets of the bus and then stops as soon as their feet hit the concrete. This causes everyone who walks right behind this person (usually me) to be stuck somewhere in nowhere land - between the bus and the real world. Very annoying and frustrating.

Sticking to the same theme, I recently was out shopping and everywhere I looked there were people with prams. I can accept that people have children and even that they want to bring them when leaving the house but I cannot see why someone chooses to enter a very small shop pushing a pram in front of them. Don't they understand that it will be very crowded and that no-one will be able to walk past them in the very narrow aisles and therefore has to walk in a ridiculous line behind them UNTIL the pram-person decides that it’s time to leave the shop and everyone has to walk out of the shop because there’s no way in hell that the person will be able to pass you? Do you recognise the type? They normally move in packs of three or more and they ALWAYS have to walk next to each other with their humongous prams and again there’s no way to pass them and if you politely ask them to please step to the side so you can pass (because let’s face it, not everyone enjoys moving at a speed of one mile per hour) they look at you with their how-dare-you-suggest-that-I’m-in-your-way-I’m-a-mo ther-for-Christ’s-sake look.

Now don’t get me wrong. I realise not all mothers behave like this, but some do and I strongly believe there ought to be some kind of law against that. Maybe I will change my mind if I ever have children but I doubt it. I have a deal with my friends so if any of us ever shows signs of turning into an I’m-a-mother-for-Christ’s-sake mom we’ll have an intervention and make everything right again.

Summary: Get out of my way!
