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.

I personally suspect these posters just don't like that you said something nice about your dh

It does appear to be somewhat of a crime, doesn't it?

"I personally suspect these posters just don't like that you said something nice about your dh

No but it was entirely irrelevant to the subject. If your husband was a wanker, would the woman's behaviour have been acceptable to you? It's like you think that because you like your husband, everyone should treat him with deference.

My husband is great too but if someone feels he's standing too close, they are free to tell him so and I wouldn't think twice about it

Was he breathing though?

Breathing was banned a long time ago, especially on MN.

That's where he went wrong.

Next time use your makeup to give give him a respectable and acceptable cyanotic sheen as proof of his non breathing compliance.

@ComeOnBabyPopMyBubble your ludicrous hyperbole doesn't really add much to the conversation

If he’s so “nice” why does he expect every woman who so much as passes him on the street to acknowledge his Supreme Godliness, and become enraged if they don’t? It’s simply not normal to fixate on something as tiny and fleeting as being asked to move slightly, something the average person wouldn’t barely even notice and not remember five minutes later.

Does your DH often get angry and brood when women enforce their own boundaries and comfort level?

(Oh, and I think my DP is pretty much the most marvellous human being I’ve ever met, and that he’s the total package - incredibly clever, kind, generous, emotionally open, completely supportive and non-judgemental, sexy, handsome, and rich - so no, sorry to disappoint you but I’m not jealous that you think your husband who gets weirdly enraged by random strange women is “nice”. )

Men are not dear and sweet and Covid is better than the sex they'll never have for a whole lot of mumsnetter's.

Where did you get enraged,angry and fixated from?

After all it's OP making the thread and ranting.

Fair enough, it’s the OP who’s angry, ranting and fixated.

It’s quite possible the husband doesn’t care and doesn’t know why his wife is so worked up on his behalf.

@boltzmannbrains

If someone can’t wear a mask I would expect them to be especially vigilant about staying a good distance away from other people.

And vice versa. Especially vice versa, as masks are mainly to protect other people. So, you're better off giving anyone without a mask a wide berth, rather than making them move.

Christ the mean girls are out in force on this thread - any visible affection for a husband really brings out the claws doesn’t it 🙄

Just loving our holiday in Bavaria where people are normal no one has sworn or shouted at us once dreading going back to England the way it is atm

No one does that pathetic leap into the road with martyred expression thing here either. Their r rate in this region half ours as well

I read ‘dear sweet husband’ in a Southern accent. Which made me read all of the posts in a Southern accent.

Jesus Christ, you are really projecting aren't you? Wtaf...

I can't stand people invading my personal space. If this is the worst thing that's happened to him then he is very lucky. Try being female, someone asking you to move away from them would be heaven compared to the abuse we suffer in a daily basis.

I bet you're wishing you'd just shrugged and moved on now, OP.

I had a woman once telling me to move in a busy co-op. Mind you I had a mask on and she didn't. It was a small co-op with those ridiculous one way system. I got into the isle so I could go and pay at the checkouts but she was standing at the end taking her sweet time and there was no way for me to reverse out the isle, so I tried going around her. Mind you I couldn't get out the isle and I just told her if she was that worried maybe she should have worn a mask or simply gone to the bigger supermarket down the road with larger isles. I give way to people if I'm stuck searching for something and even then, I don't take my sweet time.

Somebody said this to me the other day. I just said "sorry, forgot!" and took two steps back.

@WankyEntitledPeopleEverywhere

Honestly, why so nasty? What does it achieve?

It achieves nothing, they just think they're clever and witty when they're hiding behind their phones , probably wouldn't say boo to a goose in RL !

This. It's not hard. No need to get shirty.

My husband is lovely, sexy, principled, kind, funny and clever. I'll happily tell anyone who'll listen all about his finer points.

One of the best things about him is that he respects women and doesn't invade their personal space at any time, but particularly during a pandemic.

any visible affection for a husband unwarranted aggression towards women really brings out the claws doesn’t it 🙄

FTFY

Jesus Christ, you are really projecting aren't you? Wtaf...

LOL. Why are some posters so desperate to defend a man’s right to make women uncomfortable?

Christ the Handmaids on this thread...

Oh so because he's a man and she's a woman he's automatically in the wrong?

According to OP, he said nothing and moved for the other woman. It's not him ranting about her,it's his wife.

So what exactly did he do wrong?

No one did anything wrong and no one has accused anyone of doing anything wrong, the OP has had a complete hysterical meltdown over a fleeting interaction that wouldn’t even register to most people.

God forbid anyone ever ask her to pass the salt.

Don’t you think you’re being a tad over sensitive?
