Some parents' overuse of prams is a truly distressing social ill
I feel that some parents' overuse, and misuse, of prams is a truly distressing social ill.
A friend once had his foot rather painfully rolled over by a pram, with its pusher only spewing sounds of annoyance at the foot that dared to get in its way.
Worse, these pesky perambulators also contrive to take up much space in the lifts. I have seen such monsters and their associated adornments take up space in a lift that could have fit four people.
More annoyingly, though, a great number of prams I have seen in public seem to be used for nothing more than as shopping carts, with the children that they're meant to be transporting often being carried or merrily skipping alongside the hefty purchases.
Some other prams I've seen do actually have humans in them, but I do not consider them "babies" as it's obvious that they are old enough to actually walk. As far as my memory serves me, I was running everywhere at the age of three or four , and it was my parents who got tired trying to keep up.

My country is so bitter; small things in life also wanna bitch. Still wanna pro-family. A nation self-defeated.
