Two quick things. First, there’s a recipe for trampling that begins like this: “Passengers needing extra time to board or travelling with small children, and all First Class paggengers are welcome to board at this time.”
This translates into a bunch of jerks cutting off a woman with a stroller, in some cases looking at her trying to get into “line” (a term I put in quotes as it is so much more akin to a seething blob of huma-cattle) only long enough to make sure their briefcase and wheelie bags don’t hit her. Or maybe they thought she was horning in on their stuff. Not sure. Don’t care. Point is, they didn’t have the decency to let her go first with her kid. It’s kind of like the sign in the T that urges passengers to let pregnant women sit first. Sheesh!
Second, people online are jerks. They post nasty comments* and troll forums. Get a blog and rant in it, like this. Kick puppies on your own time. *grump*
*So far comments here have been pretty nice, and I appreciate that. I’m actually talking about comments on other blogs that are legitimate and add value to the world’s knowledge. But if you need to blow off steam, this is the place.
