I can't stand these gigantic strollers that are around five feet across. I hate walking into town and getting stuck on the sidewalk behind them since the sidewalks here are maybe just a little wider than five feet. I've also had my feet ran over by these things on multiple occasions both on the sidewalk and in places like stores and restaurants.
I hate them in stores because they hog entire aisles.
I especially hate them when the parent using them only has one fucking kid and the other seat(s) are empty of full of shopping bags and other crap.
Rant over. Thank you.

I hate the shopping carts you see in supermarkets that are made into giant fire engines and shit that the kid rides in. It makes the carts like 5 feet longer than they need to be, and the women generally suck at handling them.

I've seen some of those around here. They are make to look like race cars and take up way too much space.

What about in a house, or with a mouse? Would you hate them with a fox?

I fucking hate children altogether. They should ban these things.

You hate all this stuff until you have a kid yourself and are forced to deal with just this sort of thing on a daily basis. Then you understand why they chose to leave one kid with someone else (because 1 is easier to handle than 2), yet only own the one double stroller. It's not like they have a double stroller AND a regular one and chose to take the double one just to piss people off.
It's like people who take babies on airplanes; everyone who has never had to deal with a child hates it and the tiniest peep from 10 rows back ruins their whole flight, while those who have had kids are far more patient and understanding if the baby cries a little bit.

I've had to watch small children for relatives before, it's insanely stressful, kids are rough.

I remember yelling at one couple who brought their baby with them for Kick-Ass. I told them "If you can't afford a sitter then don't come to the movies." Thankfully, they left.

Movies are different. People shouldn't bring babies to movies. I enjoy going to the theater, but you know what? Once I had a kid I knew I wasn't going to be able to go anymore unless I wanted to fork over more money for a sitter.
I hate when kids of any age are brought to R-rated movies, too. The whole time I'm self-conscious of what's on the screen. During Watchmen I had 10 year old girl sitting right next to me in a crowded theater. That was really awkward when the softcore sex scene came up.

Yeah, movies are the exception to what I was saying above. There's no excuse to bring a baby or small, noisy child into a movie theatre because you know it'll ruin it for everyone else and you do have a choice.

I have a baby. I think most parents try to avoid annoying other people, but airplanes are what they are...glorified buses. We know our kid is loud, but guess what: the fat guy is taking up two seats, the old people hack/cough/stinkup the bathroom and are slow in the aisle, whilst the teenagers through 40-somethings are perfect. 
You think you hate it? It's a thousand times worse for the parents because it is impossible to reason with an infant.

Luckily, there's chloroform to solve all your infant problems.

I was going to suggest little jigger of whiskey, but that works too. Fortunately, my wife got a steampunk baby killer (read: copper IUD) put in and we practice safe sex anyhow. In her words, "Don't ever put your spawn in me." I can tolerate kids crying on a plane and stuff, it's not they're fault they're uncomfortable/don't fully understand that other people would like it quieter, and I imagine the pressure differential is really shitty for a baby's ears. Movies, though? Nothing pisses me off quite like that, like when the people next to the wife and I in our row during Machete had five year olds there. That's fucked up.

Ha ha, don't put your spawn in me... 
In regards to quieting kids down, is this still an option?

All children are annoying, and there with always be some one making a point of what the parents are doing wrong. I find it one giant hypocrisy. Everyone is ignorant to how they raise their children.
I've been around parents from different families. They always make points of what other parents are doing wrong. Then when your with the next family, they'll point out the other peoples flawed parenting. No one does everything right when raising children. With this being said there will always be annoying children.

I'm so bananas I'm showing up to your open casket,
to fill it up with explosive gases,
and close it back,
with a lit match in it,
while I sit back, and just hope it catches.
Blow you to fragments,
laugh,
roll you, and smoke the ashes.

I believe that you have. Lucky for me, I married a classy dame. It's funny, too, because when we went to get her IUD, the doctor said, "There's a chance if things go wrong that you may never have kids" and the wife said, "Where's the problem?"

Hahahaha
This is currently my wife's mentality behind it. I want to have kids one day, but not yet. I'm 24 and shes only 21.
Only good thing that would happen if one accidently popped up would be that I'm on Shore Duty until 2013 (meaning no time out at sea or deployments) so I could be there to help out during the early years. But eh, we'll see what happens.

I can understand the whole young thing. I'm 29 and she's 23, but she's got a lot of health problems already because of a bad case of MRSA that she'd had and some other issues, so we both know she just wouldn't be able to handle a pregnancy, and since she can't work, we barely get by as-is on my income. Not any kind of situation to bring a kid into.

24 and 21 is too young to have kids. I had mine at 26 and I still think it was too young. Kids basically destroy your "old life" and force you to start a whole new one that is vastly different, so you have to be ready to let that life go and 21 is far too young for that.

I'm turning 30 in a couple of weeks, and I could still wait another 5 years to have kids. I'm just too self-centered to alter my lifestyle that much at this point in time. My girl (and hopefully future wife) is 26, so hopefully her biological clock won't start ticking too loudly for another few years.
