To think passing stones around is silly

[deydododatdodontdeydo]

A woman in our village has started a painted stone scheme to lift spirits.
It's all over the local facebook group, people are painting stones, leaving them for others to pick up, hide somewhere else, and move them on.
Everyone thinks it's great.
A woman even tried to give me a stone, she held her hand out for me to take it.
AIBU to think this is just silly?
I'm not exactly one of those disinfecting or quarantining my mail, but this seems reckless to me.
I know if I speak up on the fb groups I'll be dismissed as a killjoy.

A great way to transfer infection! Why can't people just accept they should meet or pass things around at the moment?!

Of course it was started by some young Mother,and is a silly idea

Did you mean to sound like such a rude, condescending prat?

I'm not choosing to do it at present. If I see a pretty stone, it makes me smile and I pass on by.

You'd be very, very unlucky to catch the virus from a stone left around, so it's not something I can get frothed up about.

I’ve never seen or heard of this phenomenon before reading about it here. However, if I do find one of these stones I shall be sure to hide it in the nearest bin. Hate litter.

Am I the only one really tickled by blueguitar looking for shitable stones?

What a horrible post.

They aren't litter, They are children's art work

If I threw my DCs drawings in the street they would still be litter.

However, if I do find one of these stones I shall be sure to hide it in the nearest bin. Hate litter.

What a joyous, magical inner life you must lead.❤

My palm is permanently stapled to my face.

You really should avoid touching your face right now.

To be honest, it's not a great idea. I decorate stones but they are for my own garden. I don't want to share.

And yes, it's not a great idea in the current climate to encourage people to touch things.

Put they aren't pieces of paper.
Not litter.
