What's the deal with baby strollers these days? My wife was in the dressing room of a chain clothing store outlet this past weekend when I was nearly run down and maimed while waiting for her in the next aisle. It was a damn baby stroller, but there was no baby in it. This lady had the damn thing packed to the top with shopping bags and watching her manuever it through the tight aisles in the overcrowded store was pretty funny until she came my way.

Like I said, it was packed like the Grinch's sleigh without a baby anywhere in sight. Yet, when I didn't yield the entire aisle to her, she gave me one of those Armed Parent Militia coldcock stares that said, "Can't you see I'm a fucking parent with a fucking BABY STROLLER??!!?? Move it, lardass!" I noticed that other customers moved very quickly out of her way when they glimpsed the baby stroller, so I think I smell a rat.

Again, no baby (unless she'd just bought it at PacSun).

Is this common where you live? Baby stroller shopping with no baby? It's getting to be so much of a nuisance in the South that I've actually seen one store in Gatlinburg place a sign out front that said, "No baby strollers, please."
