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 ?

Report her neighbour.

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

I thought that was quite polite.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 07/04/2020 18:41

I can think of many things to call her and her selfish, irresponsible friends, and 'idiots' isn't even in the top twenty...

Charlotteli · 07/04/2020 18:42

If we gonna die might as well die happy
But she’s not going to just drop dead in the middle of a nice bbq so she certainly wouldn’t die happy

MelbaToast · 07/04/2020 18:43

If you think she's an idiot it might be time to end the relationship.

I agree. She's a fucking cunt.

YANBU, OP.

fatmandave1 · 07/04/2020 18:44

of course not you silly man! its a well known fact that A) bbq food gives an immediate immunity to the virus and B) it cannot be transmitted in gardens.

snickers69 · 07/04/2020 18:47

She is a selfish thoughtless moronic twat

What word would you recommend then?
She is an idiot of the 1st degree.
Just because she is his gf doesnt change that.

Bottletopsx · 07/04/2020 18:49

She is a selfish Idiot! Report her then dump her.

Muchtoomuchtodo · 07/04/2020 18:50

Please report this to the police

Pollypocket89 · 07/04/2020 18:51

We don't need 'a full lockdown', op. We need people like your girlfriend to not be an idiot... Its not everyone else's responsibility

EmbarrassingMama · 07/04/2020 18:55

Idiot is kind.

CrazyAllAroundMe · 07/04/2020 18:59

Report the gathering. If 'other stuff' is drugs report that too they'll arrive to break it up quicker. Idiot isn't how I'd describe a scummy group of creatures like that if they're taking drugs with children around too.

CoraPirbright · 07/04/2020 19:00

Are you going to report this bbq? I fucking would!

cryinglightning · 07/04/2020 19:05

Totally irresponsible and unacceptable of her. Would be fuming. YANBU.

SewItGoes · 07/04/2020 19:06

Yes, an idiot. No, it's not too strong of a word. Hmm

cryinglightning · 07/04/2020 19:08

Oh and I agree, report. How else will this virus come to an end?

Distressingtimes · 07/04/2020 19:10

“But chances are, it’s not you who will die, just lots of other people-LIKE YOUR PARENTS-because idiots keep attending friends barbecues.
FFS!

Whenwillthisbeover · 07/04/2020 19:10

Yes, idiot. I am fucking tired of these people, tired. We are having a BBQ, me and DH on our own, DD will be home from the front line at 20:30, her BBQ is plated up.

Lsquiggles · 07/04/2020 19:12

Report the barbecue. Maybe the police can explain the severity of the situation to her.

cdtaylornats · 07/04/2020 19:12

Send her this

Savingshoes · 07/04/2020 19:13

You can sort of see your GF theory behind making her decision:
She has been in isolation so therefore highly unlikely to have the virus.
Her friend has also been is isolation and therefore, same.
But you can't account for the other party people.
You can't assume everyone understands how infection control works.
Everyone there is likely to use the same kitchen, toilet etc.
The host is likely to be at more risk since she'll be handling all the food/left overs/cleaning up.
I would wish her all the best, tell her to have a fantastic time because she's going to need to remember how wonderful the party was when she's coughing her lungs up, or worse - watching a relative suffer.

JKScot4 · 07/04/2020 19:18

Deary me, who knew idiot was a bad word!?
What should we say? rascal? silly billy?
Idiot is mild, thoughtless selfish cunt is nearer the mark.
If you know the address, give it an hour and phone the police.

Glovesick · 07/04/2020 19:21

OP, is the "happy" reference to drugs?
