The wheels on the bus...

So I hate strollers. I HATE strollers.

I am an avid Disneyland fan; I'm pretty sure it's my favorite place on the planet. However, the few times I have been aggravated to the point of audible verbal response in The Magic Kingdom, have been caused by strollers. In New York, I hate strollers for usually the exact same reasons.

The subway, while it's an amazing way to get around and certainly far cheaper than Bart, can be frustrating, crowded, loud, and annoying. When you couple the already extensive crowds with people carrying strollers up and down the subway stairs, it's irritating beyond comparison.

Seriously? Your 7 year old does NOT need to be rolled around so you can ignore him. A stroller should also not be used as a substitute for a purse. Frankly, on the rare occation you are a parent who really needs your stupid baby buggy, you need to use the elevator. Haven't you ever read a newspaper, like... Ever? Carrying a stroller up or down escalators or stairs is dangerous. Though, rude as this might sound, is that, perhaps, the idea behind natural selection?

Carrying your child-filled contraption up the down side of a staircase has to be the most heinous offense.

You also make people miss their trains.

Hmph.
