LOTS of ppl are like cattle, no clue what they are doing in this world. Simple stuff like stopping in front of escalators, elevators, totally inconsiderate and potentially hazardous.

I forechecked someone in the back for stopping on the platform at the top of a mall escalator, to prevent the domino effect from injuring dozens of people still riding said escalator. The moron had the entire freaking ride up to figure out which way they wanted to walk when they stepped off.....

Probably the same way that they missed the "no baby strollers on escalator" and "no parking - fire zone" signs.....

Meh, I've always taken baby strollers on escalators. Never saw the problem. Just be ready to lift and push.

You're putting everyone in danger, esp your kid. All it takes is for the thing to suddenly stop and some klutz to stumble and fall down. Don't risk it.

Well, I'm out of that stage now, so its a moot point, but if some klutz does stumble and fall, I think that is still dangerous to everyone, regardless of whether a stroller is there or not. That said, I'm also talking about a stroller that isn't one of those flimsy fold up into nothing ones, I'm talking about ones that have something like a roll cage almost lol. Big and bulky.

Anyways, don't have to do it anymore anyways.

One of my friends has been in a wheelchair since birth. He is pretty athletic and always gets yelled at when he uses an escalator in his chair. It easily fits and he has never had an issue, he could probably lift himself up out of the escalator chair and all if he wanted to, but there is always someone freaking out when he does it.

Ofc the klutz falling will endanger everyone below him, but my pt is that your kid shouldn't be there in the 'firing line' due to this potential danger, besides you losing your balance due to a sudden stop and bringing down the stroller+kid.

That's all fine and dandle but what about the ppl who'll get hit by his wheelchair? How does he even fit, on 1 step?



Anyway, there are so many inconsiderate and clueless ppl in this world, just yesterday I was lining up at a cashier, the line was getting long, this old geezer was chatting up the cashier for AGES after his transaction was long done, totally not caring about the ppl behind, even when I went to the cashier and put my stuff down he was still standing there nearby chatting the employee up (who really didn't want any part of him, even saying "good night" as a hint). What a jackX. Nobody wants to talk to you, you old lonely wrinkled loser, go back to your retirement home and just fade away. /rant LOL

Caught me on a bad day.

He's definitely lonely but jezuz there's a time and place for that, not when it inconveniences other ppl, esp for such a freaking long time, talking about garbage AND the other guy wasn't even interested to top it off.

EDIT: you didn't put a comma after His name, so I was wondering why the heck did you think Jesus was a bastard? LOL.

I have had this happen more times than I can count. It makes me consider which car to take if I’m going to have to leave it unattended for a few hours. Just like the people who have to prove they can drive faster than me driving the speed limit and then use their windshield washer in front of me. It’s definitely done on purpose. Like “eff you there’s nothing you can do about it”. I’ve considered keeping a can of shaving creme in my car and spray it on their windows. No damage and might keep their windows from fogging up.

Exactly! I would prefer to park far and walk, but sometimes places are busy and the only spot is next to a car that looks well taken care of. Sometimes its not the car brand, but about how well the owner appreciates and takes care of their vehicles. If the car looks like the owner actually gives a shit, I'll happily park next to it with some consideration for space.

Vice versa applies as well. If I'm parked in the boonies and an M5 CS wants to park next to me, I'm cool with that. As long as that M5 looks like its being taken care of.

I was the only one parked in this area the night before. I came out to my car and was happy to see everyone parked 1 space apart from each other. I didn't want to take the spot next to the end because the sprinklers got me the night before. #Respect

This happened today. I park AWAY from everyone. It's a five minute walk to my employer. It's always by itself except today. Unbelievable!
