Had enough. Get a grip people.

[WankyEntitledPeopleEverywhere]

Standing in a queue, at a perfectly reasonable distance in a very busy store, and someone just asked my dear sweet husband, who wouldn't hurt a fly to move away as if he was an actual piece of deliberately infectious rubbish. No thought to the fact they are away to sit down and eat in an atmosphere full of people, without masks on and recycled air circulating, no just be rude to my perfectly respectful man. Had enough of this rubbish. People need to get a grip of themselves and screw their heads back on.

Oh my god! Who will play your dear sweet husband in the much anticipated movie version of this gripping tale?

That made me chuckle.

Truly shocking that dear sweet people all over the country are - gasp - being asked to move a bit.

It's no joke for those who suffer from anxiety or agoraphobia.
Having someone snap at you when you already have a whole load of fear/ worry going on in your head doesn't help the situation believe me.

The content of his character

Alright calm down love, you're not Martin Luther King.

Ian holm would have played him surely.

Yes people do need to get a grip

Yes, OP - you need to get a grip. Nothing wrong with asking your dear sweet husband to respect government guidance. Saying “please” is not obligatory and I assume DSH was not tokd to fucking back off etc distance

Dear sweet husband?

You do know the recycled air is filtered though? And that Covid is transmitted through moisture drops in the air which are filtered out.

Penelope Wilton is op obviously.

The awful mover onerer might be Emilia fox.

Wow I am SO sorry your husband had to endure that (minor confrontational conflict). Your sweet husband should probably stay home for a few months to recover from such an experience.

I bet your husband was too close. Ppl are full of anxiety and going to any shop makes me almost lose my shit. Men seem to be the worst offenders of this. Wandering up too close, often with their big covid nozzles (nose) sticking out of their masks.

Also you talk about your husband like he's a developmentally delayed toddler, it's weird.

If you’re making someone feel uncomfortable, you just fucking move if they ask you to. How hard is it?

As you can see, I’m neither dear nor sweet but I do respect other people’s feelings.

I'm embarrassed for you.

I hope your dear and sweet husband has recovered from the stress of this non-event. But in all seriousness I do think certain members of the country have become a bit unhinged lately, I don't know whether they are actually really paranoid about catching the virus or whether they are just thriving off creating dramatic situations. Either way it sounds like you encountered one of them, but I wouldn't really have given it a second thought once I had finished queuing.

YANBU OP. A lot of people have gone bloody bonkers.

Personally speaking i haven't had anyone challenge me or ask me to move. Yet!

I've never noticed any hissing, muttering or glaring either but then to be honest i'm usually so busy trying to keep DD(6) from dancing about like an idiot in the shops and keeping her close to me that i wouldn't notice anything subtle from anyone anyway

Ahh but the snappers could be in the same position as the snapees when it comes to anxiety etc.

But it’s okay to sit in a restaurant or cafe maskless.

I'm cheap and bitter, as is my husband. We best just stay home.

By the sound of it he wasn't too close to begin with. OP said they were at a perfectly reasonable distance.
People just use it as an excuse to be an arse and assert themselves.
They don't give a crap how that person may already be feeling. What might be going round in their head.
Having someone snap at someone who is suffering from anxiety just makes them feel even worse than they do already. No-one deserves to be snapped at.

Hope your poor sweet darling husband didn't have his wickle feelings hurt the poor lamb

Honestly, if this is the rudest someone has been to you, you are a lucky person. Chill out.

OP, can you not see the irony of you telling everyone else to 'get a grip'

Just been on holiday, so through different airports, different cities, hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions etc. At no time did I feel unsafe or annoyed by anyone's behavior.

Arrived back in the UK and went shopping it was more stressful than going through the airport. Also stayed in a hotel for our anniversary last night. Service was rubbish - no cocktails because of Corona - why? Its making people act so strangely, service providers are lazy - can't do it because of Corona is the usual saying. No they can't do it in this country they should say.

Are you Jane Austen?

A dog got too close to me in John Lewis, he was neither kind or sweet. He also didn't have a mask on. I called him an inconsiderate piece fool and carried on with my day.

Yes, people need to get a grip.
You, OP, for starters.
If someone asked my dear sweet dp to move, he'd move, as would most dear sweet people, as a lot of people are very worried about Covid and many are just starting to go out again after shielding etc.

Your view he wasn't too close, her view he was. Whats so hard in respecting her view just step back and done.

People are deriding 'dear and sweet' because it doesn't matter if he's Mao or Mother Teresa, he will pass on COVID-19 to others if he has it. So yes he needs to maintain 2 metres distance. He is not above the rules!
