I have a toddler. When I have to bring him on the bus, I always take my umbrella stroller. And, if the bus is even moderately packed? I take my child, and I fold the stroller up, and I put him on my lap. It’s probably safer.
Why do these chics insist on hauling their huge-ass SUVs on the bus? They’re huffing and puffing, trying to get it up over the steps, or the the bus, period. Then, they give the death glare to those sitting on the front seats, because they need half the fucking bus to accommodate the stroller.
And it is always the ultra-skinny girl who looks like she just took a hit off the crackpipe, OR she weighs 300lbs and has an attitude emanating off her.
I mean, seriously, don’t be so lazy! Fold the damn thing up!

suv strollers and no tag…methinks the almighty eye has given up on us losers
Did you see how those umbrella strollers were popping kids’ fingers off?
When I was schelping my little ones around, I wore this kickass backpack doohickey that allowed me to be fully mobile.
Bless you.
Ha ha, too true! OP sounds like the Yuppy type of parent who lives in a gentrified part of the North End and takes their kids to the Farmer’s Market every Saturday morning, but describes those “other parents” very accurately. They’re usually found on Routes such as the 14, 19, 20, just about any bus in Dartmouth, and 80, and are often seen yelling at their offspring. “Come oooonnnn! Get on the bus, NOW! Mommy’s gonna spank ya if ya don’t get on the bus! Sit down! Mommy’s busy, shut up! Don’t make mommy mad at ya again, I’ll spank ya! What the fuck are you looking at, creep?” These are (usually) the poor single moms we’re all supposed to feel sorry for.
When I was a kid, my parents had me on a tether… and not one of those fake backpack tethers you see nowadays, I’m talking a CHAIN wrapped around my neck to keep me in line! If I couldn’t keep up, I’d choke. Life was tough back in the late 80s / early 90s I tell ya. The worst part of it was all those retarded “good family values” shows. Very off-putting.
the worst part are the giant sighs and rolling eyes if you ask them to move their winneabagos outof the way so you can get by; i swear i will bitch slap one some day
Martym; youtube that, please!
Q- you forgot the number 2 poop bus……. they can ALWAYS be found on the poop bus. What’s even more entertaining is watching the stroller wars….. nothing worse than seeing two at one stop, or one getting on when there is already one at the front. You just run to the back and watch them fend for themselves.
LOL…..popping kids fingers off. Get the husband to sit in then, and pop his penis off. Problem solved…no more kids.
why they don’t have to pay double is beyond me….
or do they?
even the pro-lifers can’t deny this one, there are two people boarding…
now as for preggers… there’s a grey area if ever I saw one.
ain’t life just fucking wonderful.
zZz,
What’s the verdict on a parasitic twin?
Yeah, yuppy I ain’t.
My God, idiots on here will argue with God Himself just to be bitches.
Fizz… Aren’t all kids parasitic?
They feed off of a host, and give nothing back… That sounds like a child (whether a fetus, or a living breathing person)
…god damn, I’m tired…
s’pose…. double fare. at least the other one gets the child rate.
