‘Had a socially distanced chat’

@HouseTornado

*Muuuuuuummmmmmm!

Every two minutes.*

This really made me laugh. Me too

I’ll set up a Zoom....

X is self isolating, you have an extra 48 hours this week, see you as soon as you can get here...

Did you clap?
Why didn't you clap?
How dare you didn't clap?
You could of clapped?
ANYTHING TO DO WITH CLAPPING, at my child's bedtime not actually bothered about the noise it's more I'm wrestling a baby into a gro bag and mid nappy change.
Massive supporter of the nhs even though I don't clap but apparently I'm the monster for not hanging out a window and clapping.

Also never want to see another Facebook post about how magical this time is for family time and how lucky we are to stay home. That bullshit makes me want to rip my eyes out, it's only fine if you have a lovely house and garden and live in the countryside not tiny flat, no outdoor area and in the middle of a city centre.

It's not magical it sucks, I miss my support system, my freedom and our routine.

I second the zoom, stupid thing doesn't work.

"Report"

Aerosolised faeces
There's a Glade Plug-in that'll never take off

I think it is horrendous language
Also agree "Amazing" is overused

Being told off by 12 year olds in Tesco for daring to enter an empty aisle to grab a loaf on the end shelf rather than walk through the home baking aisle I don’t need first.

Coronavirus. It’s not a new word, it’s not just covid-19.

Lockdown

Save Lives. Protect the NHS. [As my temperature spikes to 102 again and am coughing out my lungs.] No, feeble old badly funded NHS and evil politicians behind said bad funding: that's your job. Lean in.

Also:

Zoom
Joe Wicks
Yoga with ...
R0
Imperial College modelling
Flattening the curve

• I NEVER want to hear the mournful tuneless tones of my 5 year old singing 'happy birthday to me' as he washes his hands for 10 fucking mins a time.

" . . . now more than ever" as in "Family is so important now more than ever" or "We need to stay strong now more than ever." (Used a lot in commercials here in the U.S.). Drives me nuts.

This predates Corvid-19, but I've been hearing it even more lately. . . (indicates username)

I hate it. So much. Can't explain why, but it grates on my nerves.

Covidiot

Especially when accompanied by a photo of somebody doing something that is completely allowed under the regulations.

It's stay AT home.
