Local gym just delivered a flier

What is it about "stay inside" and "essential trips only" that they don't understand?

Everybody is at home so they must have thought more people would read it.

What would be a reasonable response to this? E-mail them, share to local facebook group, organise a boycott? I can't believe they are this stupid.

the cunts Hmm

Isadora2007 · 02/04/2020 16:40

Depends what the flier says? Many local businesses are offering online classes etc. Are they open?

@ghostyslovesheets

Omg dying laughing that made my day! GrinGrin

JadH08 · 02/04/2020 16:41

I don't see the problem? Maybe the gym owner decided to do some advertising whilst they can't open. Maybe posting the flyers whilst on daily walk?

SuckingDieselFella · 02/04/2020 16:43

They aren't open and it isn't for online classes.

Blimey some of the posts we have to read at the moment. Some of you really to need chill out or your in for a very long few months......

It’s alright I doubt they delivered you the leaflet as you’ve a fat arse, the whole street probably got one- your not special flower 😃

@thequeenbeyondthewall

You must have a REALLY dull life.

"It’s alright I doubt they delivered you the leaflet as you’ve a fat arse, the whole street probably got one"

Yeah, that was kinda the point.

I thought it was obvious but you missed it.

Alright calm down Confused

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 02/04/2020 16:50

No I got that from your incredibly dull post thanks 🙄 😂

I think only one of us on this thread has the REALLY dull life...read your opening post again and ask yourself who that might be

ghostyslovesheets · 02/04/2020 16:51

get the neighbours together - grab a pitch fork or flaming torch and burn the bastards down - the very outrage

alternatively just bin the leaflet and go on with your life?

AmelieTaylor · 02/04/2020 16:51

What’s your actual problem?

they’re not open

If they want to spend money on advertising now for when they are allowed to open - what’s it to you?

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 02/04/2020 16:53

These things can be prebooked. Or they decided to use spare time to promote for future.

Don't be a dick op

GreenWheat · 02/04/2020 16:55

This takes judgy to a whole new level! Why can't they advertise for when they can re-open? They are not encouraging anyone to flout the rules, the fliers were delivered in a contactless manner by someone who is legitimately allowed out once a day. I am so bored of people starting threads over nothing.

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 02/04/2020 16:56

@GreenWheat right there with you.

ShellsAndSunrises · 02/04/2020 16:56

They’re trying to keep their business going. They’re not advising you to go outside now. People are allowed to deliver things, and this may be someone’s job, they might not be delivering it by hand themselves. If they are; they’re likely in dire straights, to be honest. It won’t be fun.

okiedokieme · 02/04/2020 16:58

It was probably booked prior with a leaflet distribution company

opticaldelusion · 02/04/2020 17:00

I think this is what happens when we're given ambiguous advice. Because 'essential' is poorly defined and the default is 'stay indoors', the merest suggestion that someone might be outside for more than 30 minutes of speed walking alone is enough to get people a bit frothy.

Remember what we're trying to achieve - not spreading a virus. We need to keep our distance from each other. I don't see how delivering leaflets is going to increase your risk. Plus it might help to stop a business going under.

FizzyBug · 02/04/2020 17:02

It's batshit on here today! What is wrong with everyone Confused

OP why are you so angry? It's bizarre.

Wewearpinkonwednesdays · 02/04/2020 17:03

Wait..... What's your problem? I don't understand Confused

LouisaJenny · 02/04/2020 17:04

What did it say?

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 02/04/2020 17:05

I will say it again.
I highly suspect number of threads are ops pretending not to understand simple things or getting "enraged" over nothing because other attention seeking avenues closed due to lockdown and social distancing.🙄

Chickychoccyegg · 02/04/2020 17:09

hahahaha, yeah , do not complain, that would be ridiculous

Patsypie · 02/04/2020 17:11

I can't stop laughing at this thread! It's kicking off Pru!

Greysparkles · 02/04/2020 17:14

Oh come on, this must be a pisstake
