However, yesterday I went mid/late afternoon. I thought the 'sitting in the car' thing was a bit of a p&b in joke. Windows down heating up full blast type thing. I was shocked that there were plenty of of adults sitting in the car themselves while presumably someone was in shopping. Why on earth would you sit in the car park of a local shop when you could just relax at home? Mental In my case my wife doesn’t drive but prefers to shop rather than me doing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a fair few masked and gloved arseholes acting like they are invincible. For balance, i've also seen plenty of folk without doing the same. A properly fitting mask will stop someone from spreading infection from the main source. They still need to self isolate if they are showing symptoms and everyone still needs to wash their hands regularly instead of being a fucking tink. This isn't a complicated or mutually exclusive set of public health messages. The number of supposedly sentient adults who fear the effects of mask wearing while the default option right now is a completely arbitrary and impractical 2 metre distancing at all times and, err, 'try to cough against your sleeve like a tramp' - all contributing to a lockdown that is sinking the economy for another decade - is truly mind-boggling.

I don't care about the ins and outs of more people than necessary making a journey. No one I know, including myself, has stuck to the guidelines 100% so I wouldn't make any sort of moral judgement. I just find it incredible that anyone would see food shopping as some sort of leisure activity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it incredible that anyone would see food shopping as some sort of leisure activity. One of our gripes (Mrs Danger and myself pre-lockdown when we’d both go into the supermarket), was people who seemed to want to spend hours food shopping. We’d go in, get what we needed, and come out and fume at the folk who would stand in front of the cold meat shelf for five minutes before selecting a pack of ham. In fairness there might be some folk who have nothing better to do and try to make the outing last. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairn Terrier Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I went to the supermarket today. I had to queue up behind other people who had also decided to go to the supermarket. I was raging. Your wife? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about an ill fitting mask worn by an unwashed dunderhead that thinks their mask is like iron man's suit? Will that work? No fear of masks here. They're probably very useful. I do fear morons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I really don’t like to see people wearing masks in supermarkets etc. I know it’s for protection, but I just find it a bit “scary” and like the apocalypse is coming. It’s also a bad reminder of when my mum and I had to wear them to go in and see my dad before he passed away. I do think they’ll become more prevalent as the rules are relaxed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
