The biggest lockdown flouting you’ve seen

[Carolduckingbaskin]

Ok so I do live backing onto several fields and a football pitch... bit so far I’ve seen...

A full on footie match with a group watching A group of adults of around 20, teams wearing bibs etc - probably around 20people in total.

A group of teenagers having... a boxing match (lovely bit of contact there).

Aibu to ask if anyone has seen anything quite as blatantly flouting the rules?

Me. I bent down to tie up a neighbour’s shoe. He’s elderly and couldn’t do it there and then, but would of tripped and fell without done up!. I felt guilty when i realised what I had done!

We have a clap for the nhs DJ street party every Thursday now! People gathering and breaking the rules.

The first or second weekend of lockdown, house on the opposite corner threw a garden party with a stream of friends coming and going throughout the evening. We ummed and ahhed about whether to report then police turned up to have a word and put an end to it so someone else must have!

Who cares. We can’t stay away from covid forever, despite what people like to think! It’s here !

A few weeks ago, I had an ex colleague text me to tell me (and others in the group) that she was in an Uber, on her way to meet some random guy from Tinder at his house because she needed a shag. I replied that they would probably be a good match since they were as stupid as each other.

Are some posters taking the piss here? Two over 60's sitting on a park bench? Someone in the Co-op buying a newspaper and a bottle of wine? I really can't tell now when people are being sarcastic.

I saw close to 200 people - working for the same employer - picnicking outside their offices on a small law close together in clusters with no social distancing

What are we going to do when we decide which were The Biggest Flouters Of All here?

Find them and string them all up? Or just do one big collective cats bum face at the same moment?

I dont think there is any lockdown at all in my neighbours world. Constant stream of people coming and going, getting lifts, constant coming and going (no shopping bags). Drugs must make you selfish as well as fry your brain unfortunately. I do like the guy tho.

I haven't seen any 'flouting' ; but then I have the luxury of a nice house and garden, and being able to work from home, so I don't need to go out much; and when I do, it's in an area where everyone else also has a nice house and garden and many work from home, so there's no particular need for breaking the rules.
Having said that, I totally understand why some people may be doing so, and considering the fact that lockdown was sold to us on the basis that it would allow the NHS to cope with the particular symptoms of Covid, and seeing as the NHS has coped (albeit it hasn't been allowed to do much other equally necessary treatment) I am glad that some people are just taking things into their own hands.

Biggest lockdown flouting I’ve seen is the scenes of people clapping for the nhs swarming the streets and not staying 2m apart. Not to mention going out to buy very ‘essential’ fireworks for said clap.

But it’s ok because it’s Special and Mandated

I do live in a rural area though. Maybe they're from the same household

Were they on JK ?

The occupants of three houses back on to me have been having parties in the backstreet a few times a week during the good weather - drinking, smoking weed, mixed aged groups, music blaring, kids/teens screeching, usually ending with arguing or someone screaming or crying. Police turned up late on Friday night due to fighting and a man hitting a teen (from separate houses). I did wonder if the police asked what the f they were doing partying together to start off with.

Party in a back garden which moved indoors at around 10pm. Guests included at least 2 friends (who arrived in separate cars at different times) who didn't leave until the following morning.

Not me but DF.
He lives on a farm and with it being lambing season he can't walk the dogs there so he's been driving a couple of miles to a local country park, which is usually deserted right now. (No pavements on 60mph roads round the farm so that's not an option either before anyone asks)
Last weekend some idiot had taken four kids out in an inflatable dinghy on the large (and very deep) pond there.

Someone other that DF called the police and they got a fixed penalty for it.

Just as the police were about to leave a taxi with plates from our nearest city, 30 miles away, rocked up. They also got a fine.

I’m not going to do what Boris does. Boris contracted the disease and nearly died!

Numerous couples wandering the tourist route who blatantly don't know the city and are having problems navigating; some with non-local UK accents, many speaking other European languages.

Care worker who splits her nights between solo at her mum's, at her DP parents, and bringing DP back to mum. Lots of socialising in the daytime.

@usernotknown

That was probably DP.

My DD went for a 75 minute walk to the woods about 5 mins fro our house, she saw 2 people when she was there.

Should I call 101 to report her?

Bluntness They may not be ill or half of them could be and they may have passed it on, someone they passed it on to may be dead. I dont know and neither do you

While walking with my dog I saw a man continually harrassing/attempting to pick up women, sadly he did not leave me out. He thought I might be open to the suggestion he came back to my home

Laiste great idea, the communal cat's-bum-facing! Let's all come out at 8pm every Friday night and do it 😁

The street parties on VE day were pretty flouting!

Here here @MouthBreathingRage I agree 100% about what you said re: @ Bluntness100 posts. Generally negative and often baiting - must be the reason for the apt name I guess.

Re: Lockdown flouting I’ve seen a few get togethers and kids playing over at the field but nothing major. It could be they were part of the same household.

Not intentional but I live opposite a park where there's a big log on the grass. I'd say 20-25 people every day use the log as a weight in their exercise routine. So 20 people a day all touching, sweating on the same log. Surely a dangerous point of contact.

Not their fault but it's worrying

Well, I've seen pictures of people doing the conga with their neighbours and having parties in the street.

Seemed like, in wishing to mark the last stages of the Second World War, they decided to reenact some of the things that happened towards the end of the First.
