Anti-Dementor Alliance Thread - learn how to produce your patronus here

[Tappering]

New thread!

I have just spotted this on a schools thread...

The smaller the child, the cheaper the body bag? I don’t trust Boris

If they're not fussy about his hair and clothes, I can get him to them in 3 minutes

That long? I can chuck mine over the fence and have him there in less than a minute.

Oh no, seems we are getting some new Dementor phrases as things change...

e.g. What part of TWO METRES APART is too hard for you to understand? and being called "Fuck witted jerks" not meant to link to threads but think you can see what I mean. Lovely.

The replies are better though. Glad to see others are finding these posts intolerable

Also stuff like

You do know that you HAVE to wear a mask in a shop from Wednesday right?

When we don't, it is just advice and for some shops and places where it is difficult to social distance.

Everyone prepared for the next 6 weeks of ‘just wear a fucking mask’?!

And it's not even a mask. It's a face covering. Not the same thing at all.

As I said on the other thread I have some old surgical stockings left over from my hysterectomy which might do.

Every time I've ever worn a face mask, my glasses fog up in about 2 minutes and I can't see where I'm going....I'll get demented at for not wearing them or demented at because I won't be able to correctly judge 2 meters....I doomed!

We've got some masks actually because we sanded our floorboards and it was bloody horrifically dusty. Not sure how effective against covid they are?

Also ds has a toy doctor's kit containing 2 blue masks and 2 white so I might be inclined to wear one of those!

We've also got some masks from sanding. If we're supposed to wear them I will do I guess...

Oh, I saw that fuckwitted jerks thread. A particularly vehement example of dementoring, I thought.

I don't wear a burqa or a niqab, but those girls are sorted.

I've worn buffs over my lower face in really cold weather while running, and I just end up with them going soggy in minutes and regularly readjusting them. I can't see that being very effective for controlling ghe spread of an infection that I'm very unlikely to have to spread. During the Beast from the East, there was enough moisture caught in it for it to freeze solid!

Maybe stockings over my head, bankrobber style?

Mask Dementors are their own breed of annoying.

Ha - I've already found an "if you don"t wear a face mask you're just a selfish fucker" post

You MURDERERS!

I won't be wearing one. Ooh, unless I can find one of those full face balaclavas online that make you look as if you are Committing Crimes.

I'd love some of them to wear a mask consisting of a large strip of duct tape right over their mouths.

I won’t be wearing one. I don’t use public transport, and if certain shops require them then I just won’t go in. I have pretty bad claustrophobia and the thought makes me shudder.

I keep seeing thing about how the school cant stop the spread of nits so they wont stop all the children getting coronavirus and dying. Cos coronavirus and nits are EXACTLY the same thing, I guess this, following a logical progression of dementor thought, means that nits are the same as ebola and Spanish flu.

Everyone prepared for the next 6 weeks of ‘just wear a fucking mask’?!

Oh God, I bet you're right.

Ebola and nits are absolutely equal, of course .
I sometimes wonder if people actually believe the shit they come out with, or if they just say it for effect?

Here you go: this'll go down a treat in Waitrose.

I'm also struggling with the teaching unions TBH. I'm normally pretty supportive of unions (Guardian reader!) but their response seems to be endlessly obstructive & its not going to do them any favours when redundancies start mounting in the private sector.

Covid, ebola and nits are all equally deadly. What part of that don't you all understand?!
(and honestly, whilst I think a few of these people have genuine anxiety, and some are a bit hard of understanding, I think a lot of them are simply no better than trolls. They just want to upset people).

The mask thread is classic dementoring if you can bear it.

But don't go on there if you've had enough for one day...
