hey i'll carry my baby in a backpack sling kind of thing and talk on my cellphone and and refuse when people offer me a seat because it'd be "safer to stand" and then i'll bump my baby's head against a metal post over and over again while people reach up and try to stop my baby's head from hitting and then i'll baby talk commiserate with my crying baby oh does it hurt? oh does it hurt? but i'll still keep standing and bumping my baby's head all the way to downtown but it's okay because i have a $300 coat and a razr cell phone and i'll never buy a baby carrier thing called a stroller or even a kind where i can hold my baby in front so i can sit down because i like smashing my baby's head against a metal post over and over again so i can make people think i'm a good parent because i make sympathy noises even though the truth which i don't know is that sympathy isn't necessary if you don't hurt someone in the first place.
oh and another thing that happened on the bus recently is this guy offered the driver half his peanut butter cup and she politely declined. then he sat down and coughed up a lung.
That is really odd, I also saw an annoying guy with a baby sling thing bang his kid's head against a metal post on the subway yesterday. Maybe this kind of thing is common..?

This kind of thing is horrendous! I would have loudly but calmly said "Miss, are you aware that you're HURTING your child?" The point would be to have as many people as possible hear me and look at her.

And what is it about public conveyances that make so many women act like idiots? Don't give me that "Oh, but men sit with their legs spread far apart!" jazz - the new fun thing for a woman getting on or off a subway car is to bash you in the head with her oversized shoulder bag, and then act insulted when you react.
