Men pushing in in queues and not social distancing.

Has anyone heard that Peru have instigated seperate days out for men and women?

Yes i heard that!

We went to jordan once and the only day we stayed at one hotel it was men only in the swimming pool. Dh had to take two random boys in with him

Can we stop having a go at Hooves and have a go at men instead.

Not sure who you're talking to hooves? I was speculating

Hooves Meeting a couple of runners isnt exactly busy though is it? Would be plenty of space if they didnt run in the middle of the bloody path. No one has said 'ive barged my way through 500 people' its mostly been anecdotes of supermarkets.

The whole point of this thread is there would plenty of space if the men (and some women) could try to contribute to the 2m rather than walking into you.

You cant drive anywhere to walk, so cant go somewhere completely secluded.

Im still working (NHS) so im going out daily plus have been out twice this week - once to sainsburies, once to butchers/bakers. Thats plenty of exposure to people that is absolutrly necessary

Hearhooves if you are walking for an hour, encountering 6,8 or even 10 other sets of walkers is hardly 'picadilly circus'

This is a derail.

I was in Morrisons today and it was packed. We were all trying to obey social distancing it wasn't easy but guess which sex wasnt obeying the rules? At one point had to tell a dude to back off and he just laughed at me. Prick. I thought men has great spatial awareness it's almost like men have no regard for womens boundaries or safety!

Has anyone heard that Peru have instigated seperate days out for men and women? Sounds like heaven.

The first time I became aware of the way men disregard womens personal boundaries was when i went to a women only swim session. Everyone giving each other enough space and pacing themselves properly.

Its week 2 I swear its gonna get more and more tense as time goes by. The guy I reprimanded got so mad I think women holding their own or challenging men will face grief. Bring it on

“Who is exercising in busy areas?!“

There was a group of 5 young men having a lovely group work out at my local country park. What was weird is they picked the mist busy snd visible area to do it when there are acres and acres of parkland no one uses

Lol

You have no idea where I live or how many people were there

Helena rightly or wrongly wanted to discuss men as a class

Based on the examples of two men? How is that a basis for a discussion of men as a class?

If I give examples of the behaviour of two women can we discuss women as a class then?

God, i had one at Waitrose the other day. I joined the end of the queue, everyone (not many) waiting patiently and spread out. I was the shorter section of the L and some guy just walks up and stands randomly behind the guy in front of me. Didn’t want to snark so said nothing and politely mentioned the queue was behind me as he was blocking my way when i moved forward- he got really snarkey and bit at me. I’ve handled much more brazen queue jumpers than you mate.

And i know I’m one of the worst for going off topic..im not unaware of the irony

The posters saying a group of two women on bikes plus children, plus the poster, plus another group of cyclists plus three men on bikes.

Then another poster moaning about a runner, plus the poster, plus a man and a woman walking

Everyone please present your exercise plan to Hooves for approval before stepping outside again!

Peckity peck peck.

Can we please not get off the topic

Helena rightly or wrongly wanted to discuss men as a class

She didnt want to discuss covid 19 rules...there is a whole bloody board for that

No one has to defend what they are doing regarding leaving the house or exercising on this board

Pretty please with sugar on top

If you're adding to the crowds you are part of the problem.

Change the route, go at a different time. Don't just plough on and compound the problem.

Who is exercising in busy areas?!

I went for a walk through the woods. Passed a few other people. Busier than usual for sure, but plenty of room for everyone (if they moved to the side!!!).

If that was to me. Not sure it was.

If people live in a busy area, they have to navigate that to get to the shops, or to walk the dog. You can hardly blame them.

If people are exercising in busy areas, maybe that's where they live?

Why's that an excuse? You stay away from busy areas. Are the people who live on the coast ok to crowd together on beaches today because it's busy where they live? Clearly not. The expectation is that everyone stays away. Same principle here. If you're exercising in a busy place then you are part of the problem.

No OP, you just don't like men.

Well who knows how big a family someone has on here. I've just told you, that I personally, cannot limit myself to once a week. I'd like to, but, today, I had to leave a load of items at the shop. And I don't have a massive family at all.

If people are exercising in busy areas, maybe that's where they live?

So everyone on here has got big families?

And the exercising in busy areas where they can't maintain social distancing?

But, sure, it's men that are the problem.

If you've got a big family, hooves, infrequent shopping might be as much as three times a week. Due to the fact that many shops are rationing food. I'm not sure what you expect people to do, exactly.

Notredamn

I know people can go out - as infrequently as possible.

I'm just very shocked how individual posters have so much direct experience when outings are supposed to be limited to one period of exercise per day and infrequent shopping.

Also shocked at the posters exercising on what sounds like Picadilly Circus. Why add to the crowds? Why wouldn't you go elsewhere?

I cannot be arsed with this peck peck peck wankery today. I'll be back when I have something in the tank that approaches patience for windbaggery.

Take a break, read a book, watch something on Netflix. The peck pecking will still be here when you get back (it's like sunrise and taxes, never fails).
