Well, it's bad enough I have to deal with kids cutting me off and bumping into me with those damn rollerskate sneakers...now Stride Ride is coming out with SuperBall shoes.
So now I gotta try and avoid kids jumping up and down while in the line at the supermarket??
Man, I was at this pizza place and the parents were letting their kids roll around the floor in those roller sneakers. They were doing it right near the kitchen door and the waitresses had to maneuver around the kids so they wouldn't drop their dinners. Of course, the parents didn't do a thing to stop the children I felt so bad for the waitresses because you knew they were annoyed, but were probably afraid of the backlash if they said something to the customers.
Does anyone else feel like this? You have to be on the defense when walking through the stores these days because these kids come whizzing by you and nobody is doing a thing to stop it.
Ok, maybe I'm a bit more angry at this because I have bad back spasms and often I've 'tweaked' my back while trying to avoid being slammed into by one of these kids. Do we really need this???
This the Stride Rite shoe has me concerned that this "non stop playing" trend will never end.
Instead of all of these products, designed to entertain kids while they're at the store with their parents, why don't they invent something so that I can have some peace while I shop??
