Suddenly, I realize there's a person standing right in front of me (she's on the wrong side of the stairs, btw) and as I look up, I see that she is trying to make some sort of point here, while I have about 5 seconds to get up the stairs and onto the subway before it leaves. "Why don't you go around me," she says in this faux polite way, as if I was obviously the one being rude, when she really means to make an issue out of nothing and we are in fact the only 2 people on the whole damn stairwell (besides her kid)! Yes, I am just another member of the world set against her that gets in her way!
Somehow, I pulled out a great response and still managed to make the train. With a cute and condescending voice, I said, "Lady, you already have a kid. Maybe it's time to grow up."
YAY! As I sat on the train, I thought of the ILX post by donut bitch the other day about the random stranger commenting on her banana.
How do you deal with "sidewalk warriors" and the like?
Also: women with baby carriages, if you're carrying such precious cargo, why do you use it as a weapon to get you through sidewalk traffic?

She wasn't, believe me. She had the head-bob going on.

Hate to break it to you, Larcole, being the upstanding young gentleman you are.
