To think everyone is going to get very fed up with all this?

[cantata]

The thought of John Lewis dumping a washer-dryer on my doorstep and expecting me to remove the old (integrated) one and carry and plumb in the new one makes me wonder.

AIBU to think we're going to get fed up with this social distancing malarkey before very long?

(I hate it anyway, as I need people around me for my sanity. And not my teenagers 24/7).

Christ the hardship.

So don't order a new one, problem solved.

Yes of course, but posters on here are utter dicks if you dare to talk about it, so prepare yourself for a flaming.

Oh, FFS. Have a and get some fucking perspective

The thought of John Lewis dumping a washer-dryer on my doorstep and expecting me to remove the old (integrated) one and carry and plumb in the new one makes me wonder.

Shame on you for even posting this. FFS there’s people out there that can’t afford to eat and you’re on here whining about a washer dryer? I can only assume this post is a joke? If it’s not this is the highest level of cuntiness I’ve seen on here.

I totally agree but you’re going to have the “Ann Franck had it hard you don’t know you’re living and I have to shield so no one else better dare set foot outside their door” brigade on your case in droves....

But you are right anyway

Pishposh, I'm prepared for a flaming by the Social Distancing Stasi.

Pippi, I have already ordered it. It never crossed my mind that it might be a problem.

And how dare you order a washer dryer from a middle class retailer

Don't worry, Rose, I'm now on zero income due to this sodding virus. I don't qualify for benefits either, so am living on an overdraft and loans. HTH.

Yes, of course YANBU that many of us will get fed up, but YABU to call it 'malarkey'. Hopefully most of us will put up with social distancing with reasonable good grace to help save lives and health.

Time to enlist the teenagers. Wave the router about as a carrot

Sticking to the rules here but finding every single second so difficult 😨 miss my friends and family - has made me realise how needy I clearly am 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, it sucks, people are going to get very bored of it.
Obviously as being dead sucks more people will manage while moaning.
That is just human nature.

Is this a joke? If so not funny

Errol, I'm doing the social distancing thing, with very bad grace. So is everyone where I live. There isn't a soul to be seen.

I bet you could do it yourself. Try YouTube.

Oh... and I forgot that you’d better wipe it down with bleach and soap and water and not touch it at all

Thedog, no it's not a joke.

In fact, the whole social distancing thing is having a massive and very bad effect on my (already fragile) mental health.

If I can't get my effing washer/dryer delivered and plumbed in as planned, that will be the final straw.

So no, decidedly not a joke.

But it does make me wonder whether there will be a tipping point at which people will just think: "sod this for a game of soldiers" and will try to re-establish normality, whatever the currently-out-of-work-jobsworths on MN might say.

You will need to leave it on the doorstep for at least a month.

Geranium, I have in fact plumbed in many a washing machine in my time. It's the disentangling and re-entangling an integrated one which flummoxes me. That and carrying them around with a broken foot (drip feed. Ha!)

Frankie and Pewter. I may in fact need to put it in the washing machine at 90 degrees, along with all my post.
