To think my girlfriend is a idiot?

[prattyproo]

We don't live together.
She has a daughter who is 16.
The two of them live together and I live with my daughter.
We haven't seen each other since the lockdown began.
Just text her she's off to her friends for a BBQ but thinks it's ok as it's in a garden.
10 other people (a few different houses )
I'm annoyed and can't be arsed to even reply.
Her dad has heart disease and her mum COPD
Aibu here to say she's a idiot ?

Yes she's an idiot

Can’t believe people are still meeting up like this! Has she not seen the news? Bloody bbqs can wait!

YANBU at all. Report it

It's reasons like this I wish UK had done a proper lockdown.

@prattyproo I'm shaking my head. So irresponsible

If i knew the address I'd report it. I wouldn't think twice. I have family members putting themselves at risk every day for the NHS.

People are getting pissed off now with the minority doing this when the rest of us are trying to keep everyone safe.

And if you don't report it let's hope a neighbour does at some point tonight.

I just can’t people just be feckin’ normal.
I really really miss my mum and my sister who’s 17, they’ve been having bbq’s at theiir house and we just FaceTime and catch up. Yes I miss them but I do not need to be there to spend tome with them.

You’re GF is an idiot and is contributing to why this virus is killing thousands of people. I wonder how she feels to be an accessory to death.

She’s an idiot and she’s incredibly selfish. Unfortunately the NHS will still have to treat her if she needs treatment, if they have beds and equipment. NHS staff will have to risk their lives for idiots like her.

I’d be dumping her. Let her be an idiot that you at least don’t have to admit to dating.

I haven't seen my dad who is in his late 70s or my nan who is 99 for three weeks and then people are being silly.

She’s an idiot.

Idiot isn’t strong enough. Medics are on their knees right now. Self-employed people like myself are turning away work that we could do sneakily, but we don’t because we are responsible. And here we have ten imbeciles from different houses having a garden party. I’d actually report them.

If we gonna die might as well die happy

No, we might as well die aged eighty five in our beds with our family around us. And the chances of that happening diminish rapidly with each idiot who behaves like your GF.

She’s an idiot. And a selfish cow, too.

I’d genuinely dump someone for this.

“might as well die happy”

Might well not be the people doing these things who die.

If 'idiot' is the worst thing you can call an idiot someone I've been doing it wrong for years

To seriously call your girlfriend an 'idiot'...YABVU. Very poor choice of word.

What is wrong with the word idiot? What the hell are we supposed to call irresponsible people who do stupid things?

Is no one else finding “a idiot” ironic?! 😁

@crispysausagerolls I was going to pick up on it but then I read the OP and decided against it

She is a bloody idiot. And I'd report the BBQ and chuck her.

@Charlotteli

The girlfriend is clearly an idiot, yes! But still...🙈

If she died in an ICU ward with no family around her, I’d hardly call that a good way to die.

Yes, she’s a complete moron.

Yep she’s an idiot and what’s worse, a selfish one.
I don’t really care what anyone does to themselves, but the problem here is passing something on to other people that might kill them. I could not be with such an arsehole and I would report it.

It's possible that some people think the word 'idiot' is similar to calling some one a retard/spastic (obviously offensive), but it's Greek meaning (from the root idios, meaning 'one’s own') means someone who is selfish/self-interested/lazy, which was opposed to the Ancient Greek idea of being a social/public person/a 'good citizen.' These days it's the root of the word 'idiosyncratic,' which is also not particularly offensive

She's an idiot! However if you know about it and don't report, you're an idiot too. Sorry op relationship over

"If we gonna die might as well die happy"

I think she'd change her mind about that statement if she was one of the unlucky ones who caught it, and ended up in ICU. A premature death from a SARS is far from happy, especially one where you're left gasping for breath, or suffering organ failure.
