You know, it's sad to say, but I think people are so involved in their own cares and errands of the day, they don't think about anyone else.
I pulled into a parking lot the other day, and headed down an isle to park. A woman coming the other way and I both had eyes on a parking spot. I smiled and waved her in and pulled around her and moved on to another spot.
She gave me the dirtiest look ever and I just want to shake and say STOP THINK, I was being nice--deal with it.
Sometimes human beings disappoint me, myself included.

Some do. Some don't. Same as with when people step in front of a person without a stroller.
If you have a lot of this going on, though, you may want to ask if you're doing something with the stroller that is making the situation occur more often than it otherwise would. I'm not saying that's the case, but I never had this particular issue with my babies' strollers. I'm just wondering if you're doing something that causes it. Do you kind of think people should yield to you, and when they don't you think you should get an "excuse me"? There's a lot of people who think like that. Wondering if you're one. Again, not saying you are.....

I guess for the same reasons that people with strollers hit you with the stroller and don't say excuse me! Both rude actions!

I am personally afraid of people with strollers. It's a moving vehicle with a child in it that's way below my eye level. Most people don't see the stroller until it's too late, and then your shins are all bruised up!

The stroller will not reply back, and say " no problem, or sure ", if you will not reply back on behalf of the stroller, then you do not deserve to be excused

People are just really oblivious and inconsiderate. Good point.
And also, why do ppl with strollers not say excuse me when they block the aisles,tight spaces, sidewalks?

why do people with strollers push them into the paths of other pedestrians or use them as some kind of shield or battering ram? i am not obligated to step out of the way when some yuppie is pushing around her 6 year old retarded asthmatic little shithead like he's the king of a pissant 3rd world country.
