I’ve been named and ‘shamed’

[EstuaryBird]

Admittedly it’s only on our local WhatsApp group...

Opened it this morning and there’s a message from a ‘founder’ member of the group.

“Me, hubs and the kids were out last night making lots of noise for our NHS heroes. Disappointed to see that some of this group don’t care enough to give up 2 minutes of their time!!! Maybe you forgot..(then a list of names including mine). Will be sending you a reminder next week!!”

I know she’s a twat but I’m fuming. I’m not going to dignify it with a reply because she and her little crew of followers love a public war. I’m just going to ignore her but if she thinks she’s forcing me out next week she’s got another bloody think coming.

Tbh if I wasn’t on lockdown I wouldn’t even give it 2 thoughts but I’m winding myself up about it now!

AIBU to think that clapping is not compulsory and nobody else’s business?

One-man-band yourself up and play it at the end of her path next Monday night. For a few hours.

I knew it would come to this. Why couldn't there have been one meaningful display of appreciation? Why must it be a weekly summons with extra torch displays and dancing thrown in.

Know when to stop Neighbour Nazi!

@TSSDNCOP you cannot use the word nazi, the thread will get deleted... one just has been for saying the same thing

Really? Good grief. I'm going to need a dictionary of Covid prohibited words and phrases soon. Thanks for the tip.

We all knew about it in Late December/early January where I work (A+E in a city

So you must have known about the corona virus before the Chinese government actually acknowledged it.

The WHO said it hadn’t left China on 23rd January.

I see people all over social media posting stuff like 'to all these people clapping, maybe don't vote Tory instead'

Like people can clap and not vote Tory at the same time.... the two are not mutually exclusive.

Too many thick virtue signallers coming out of the woodwork in this current situation. I'd leave the group and the others who were named and shamed will probably follow suit

Sounds grim - glad my area seems to be applause free!

It gets worse

Just logged into my local Next Door page

Some woman is losing her shit over people for the crime of...
...and wait for it as it's right up there clearly.....

....having a barbecue in their garden just for the people who live within that house

Christ.

Apparently, she is going to jump fences and put them out (yes she missed the irony of breaking lockdown regs and ignoring social distancing to do so)

I pointed this out and it's not gone down well. I have some other lockdown Stasi telling me she would grass people up for breaking rules and how she thinks anyone who disagrees on the barbecue issue should be in shit with the plod.

It's becoming a sodding witch hunt of cuntiness isn't it?

I pointed out that, publicly saying you will happily rat on people, on a forum where your location is visible is possibly not a good idea, being that some people may not appreciate being ratted out for a walk or buying wine.

She's now reporting me to the Police apparently for threatening her

Honestly. Are people that bored by this lockdown that they've lost their damn minds or where they always this stupid in private?

Jesus Christ. We're planning our second BBQ. I promise that if anyone jumped over our fence they would have a lot of trouble accomplishing that feat for a long time

She's now reporting me to the Police apparently for threatening her

Don't engage with such people. It's not worth it.

This reminded me of a time on here that a poster told me she was calling the police and taking me to court for slander because I didn't believe she was a lawyer.

I got nothing done that night. It was hilarious.

I couldn't be arsed after speaking my nurse sister who still has no ppe

@BrooHaHa oh I haven't. I just said, with the greatest respect, bore off

I really can't see the Police wasting time on that right now.
World has gone truly crackers and that's without the CV19

For bbq’ing in their own garden, with their bubble? Madness!
Sounds like some sort of underwater future crime thriller though... the day the bubble popped!

Fundraising at home for much needed NHS equipment is the new clapping.

Suggest the group try that instead of taking pot shots at others in their WhatsApp group.

I wouldn't mind, the same woman was commenting two days ago that we and the US should literally nuke China to a scorched hole in the ground. I think the Police would be more interested in that than me politely pointing out how daft it is to publicly say you'll grass your neighbors up when your address is visible.

So you must have known about the corona virus before the Chinese government actually acknowledged it.

The WHO said it hadn’t left China on 23rd January.

I'm not so sure that date is right.

I have a friend who lives in another city. We haven't physically met up since last year, we've been keeping in touch by phone/text/skype, etc due to not being able to find a day that works.

Her son made a trip to China, landing back in the UK on 18th December. Over Christmas, she was very ill with symptoms the same as those listed for COVID 19.

Of course, at that time, we had no idea it was anything other than a very bad cold. My friend now wonders if this was COVID 19.

According to Wikipedia:

The disease was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province, and has since spread globally, resulting in the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.

That's what the '19' part of 'COVID-19' means - started in 2019.

Bloody hell what a twat. Who died and made her Queen ?!!

There is actually no gain in having a row. Or quarrel.
Why not join them & do what is needful to avoid problem.
I will suggest that you apologize for not joining & endervour to join next time..
I like to live in a peaceful environment anyway

@BiBiBirdie BBQ gestapo.

I will suggest that you apologize for not joining & endervour to join next time..

WTF! Why would anyone apologise for not joining in? I'd sooner bloody choke. The OP has done nothing wrong.

Apologise ....... no way!

Live in a peaceful environment or be a complete pushover?

@Oliversmumsarmy I think that many of us knew about it. And that it would eventually go globally.
