notasheep: I think this issue is really common. And not just with carriages and strollers. What about shopping carts? wagons? or just holding alot of shopping bags? common courtesy and manners have flown out the windows. Its no longer “an old fashioned thing to do”, its now become something only heard of in books! Ok, that my be a bit exxagerated, but when you are pushing a stroller/wagon/carriage and people dont care to hold the door open, or push past you, it feels like common courtesy doesnt exist at all and never did exist.
Please everyone, when you leave a store, or if you’re passing by a store and you see someone who may need help with the door, hold it open! I was just walking down the avenue and this not frum lady was trying to open her car door but was having a hard time cuz she just got her nails painted (she was doing teh finger stretching, waving thing). I asked her if she needed help and she was so grateful! I mentioned the fact that she was not frum so that you can see that besides for a kiddush hashem that you can make, its just a nice thing to do for another human being!
