Have you tried pushing a pram around London?
None of the pavements are level, the dropped kerbs are missing or blocked by illegal parking, the crossings are blocked by busses, and as a result its a genuinely physically exhausting activity.
On top of which, the parent is dealing with years of sleep deprivation, a badly behaved child, the generally shittiness of being a parent, the stress of being late for everything, a mountain of un-done work and personal admin, and the outright hostility of commuters.
Sometimes, under these circumstances, bad decisions are made. Best to give pram-pushers a wide berth whenever you can. Or at least have the decency to aim for the parent and put them out of their misery.

Always surprised that other people seem to treat pushchairs as if they're invisible - hence why I fitted Galdiator style wheel blades to ours. Did make the concourse at Blackfriars a bit slippery though.
As for sleep deprivation - the effects are subtle and brutal (if that makes sense).

No I can't say I have lol and none of those parental parameters excuse sticking your pram into the road so you can see better and effectively use your precious new life as a lollipop lady....
Mistake my arse.

Almost every new mum.
Especially the ones with double prams.
