Sickening

I almost had a heart attack when I walked into town for my lunch. I crossed the tram tracks and just ahead of me was a mom pushing a pram. To get to the sidewalk you have to pass a bus- and taxi lane, which is quite busy during the day and it happens that a taxi has stopped by the curb. . This mom did not seem to know that a bus is considerably larger than a taxi and therefore quite easy to spot. She rushed ahead in front of the "parked" taxi to see if the coast was clear and .... the stupid bitch .... promptly pushed the pram out into the bus lane!! If it hadn't been for a very, very perceptive bus driver who managed to swerve just in time to not knock the pram over.

The bus wasn't driving very fast but it could have been horrific. The mom didn't even react to the fact that several people went "NOOOOO!" (incl. me) and as soon as the bus had passed she continued on her daily walk where she tries to off her kid by pushing them in front of a bus.

I felt sick and had to go to the bookshop where the smell of new books to calm myself down. Stupid, stupid woman and poor, poor baby!
