To tell you about the muppets I've seen

[EverdeRose]

Due to an increasing amount of time stuck inside or queuing for milk and bread I thought I'd share some of the idiots I've seen since lockdown started.

Man walking his dog in a gas mask, dog had a face mask on too.

Family of 6 shopping in asda, all had a trolley to comply with the 1 trolley 1 person rule.

Woman in asda spraying dettol on loose carrots before she packed them.

What else have we seen?

It’s not a word most half decent adults employ for describing a woman falling off a bike

The thing is, if I was trying something new and then read about people poking fun at me online I'd be very, very hurt. The people you are poking fun at and calling names are just people who are trying to get through this. We don't all make the right decisions at the right time and I'm sure many of us have done unnecessary journeys or taken things too seriously/not serious enough! But people shouldn't have to also worry about people posting about them online to mock them on top of everything else.

oh please get over yourselves, how boring

Charming

The hours exercise is not mandatory but very highly recommended for physical and mental health, don't mock.

Honestly this is not the first poster who seems to think that people that don't normally exercise in a certain place shouldn't be doing so now. They pay the same council tax etc and are just as entitled as regulars to use these facilities.

The OP didn’t just “muse”
She called them “idiots”
To be fair, riding a bike in flip flops isn't exactly sensible shoe choice.

I wouldn't call someone an idiot for it but it is a bit daft.

I would call the people in the supermarket the other day idiots though. Why anyone woul feel the need to jump in between the 2m markers more than once to beat the queue is beyond me. What's worse is the hilarious joking with their family (all adults making a day trip of it) that they keep forgetting we have to be miles away. Oops aren't we funny? Nobody found it funny. They're idiots.

@cherrybunx0 and the OP are clearly cut from the same cloth!

camels do you live near the tiger king

@EverdeRose

Condescending and rude.

@AngryBananaSund indeed! It’s so mad that they stopped seeing her as something of value and because there was no accountability some started to hurt her and got progressively worse until the group divided into two clear factions, those who wanted to hurt and those who wanted to protect.

And then, at the stroke of 2am, when she came out of the performance and walked towards them, they fled, unable to take the prospect of an interaction or fear of taking responsibility for their actions. Like classic keyboard warriors. Mind blowing.

@GabsAlot certainly sounds like, right!? Other side of the world to that but the same sort of weirdness!

On that note, I’m going to watch Tiger King tonight!

I was queuing outside our local chemist yesterday to get my Mum’s medication. Good distancing and only 1 customer allowed at once.

I was next in when a very elderly lady arrived looking exhausted, with a walker and barely upright.

There were about 15 people behind me so I asked in their general direction if anyone would mind if I let her go in next. Everyone nods enthusiastically except the man in running gear behind me who did a massive sigh then called someone to tell them he was still waiting because ‘people keep pushing in’

As I left I said ‘have a great day’ and he did a big old eye role at me!!

A farmer DRIVING down the lanes by my house stopping everyone and asking if they had driven to walk around there to tell them off for doing so for unnecessary driving. HE WAS DRIVING round telling other people not to drive 🤦🏼‍♀️

seaviewbliss but maybe one of the 15 people behind you were equally exhausted or struggling in the queue? Obviously you calling out to them all if anyone objected to queue jumping aren’t necessarily comfortable with potential confrontation if they did object.

@Boobooboo84 yes, we both have a sense of humour and know you have to laugh in these tine otherwise we will all go mad

maybe you should try it

I have a sense of humour.
It’s just not one that involves laughing at a woman falling off her bike

well i never theres more than one

well camels enjoy its prob one of the most batshit things ive ever seen

@Boobooboo84 I mean, I think it was more the choice of footwear as has been alluded to throughout this thread but sure, twist it to suit your agenda.

the OP has said she intended for it to be light hearted, you're sense of humour is clearly very different. is it really such a bad thing? I wont tell you what to find strange or amusing and it would be much appreciated if you didnt dictate this to others too

Cherry you and OP are very very much in the minority on this thread. That doesn’t seem to register with you, does it?!

I normally try to walk around my village/ hamlet every day to ease my blood pressure. With 4 kids off I walked further and longer today.

I dont think I have ever been so very grateful to not live in a town right now. I also have access over private locked land by the land owner.

I had just been given gym membership on prescription so I thought I had better crack on.

The only weird thing I have seen is my 76 year old mums desire to still go out every bloody day. She is 80 miles away so I cant really do much more to dissuade her

@Boobooboo84 no I just dont particularly care, the thread was intended to be lighthearted , sorry that was lost on you

and sure, I mean when was the majority ever wrong eh!?

People love to tell others off, don't they! Just love it.

My stupid next door neighbour is having an extension built and has 2-3 builders turning up every day to carry on the work. She also has various random visitors turning up. Just blows my mind.

Went to a large hardware store earlier where the trolleys are kept outside and you put a pound in to get one. Man hit a trolley and pushed it into the store and once inside the store a member of staff took it from him and cleaned the handled and gave it back to him and he went to walk away with it
I pointed out to the confused member of staff this made no sense at all and he said replied yes as he had cleaned it. So I explained if the man had anything on his hands he has just put them back on the trolley and when finished shopping will return the trolley outside, someone will put their hands on it and potentially pick up the germs, you will again clean the handle and hand it back to that person to put there hands back on it and take it back outside for others to use. It took him a few mins to collect the whole thing before working out to bring the trolleys in and clean after every single person put hands on, off and on again

Got a trolley not hit one
