No but then I'm not a busybody, curtain twitching, tittle tattler. The best advice is : if another person's actions have zero impact on your life, mind your own business.

We all get why we're in lockdown and we all understand the rules. People are also adults.

I wonder during 'normal' circumstances how many people report those parking on double yellows, speeding, throwing rubbish etc.

The level of snitching when no one knows others' circumstances is really grating.

I hope the OP's best friend's neighbours are curtain twitchers and reporters. Grin

Well now it seems ok to visit people, I’ve decided to go and see one of my best friends, can’t wait

So you've switched from being an interfering busy-body to acting like a child? You must be a blast at parties. What your neighbours do is none of your business unless it is having a direct impact on you. Can you not get that through your head?

I feel OP has mistaken everyone saying stop being such a stickybeak to mean that they can go and visit their best friend. But at least it will give their neighbours a break.

I don't interact much with my neighbours and I certainly do not have the inkling to do so. Who needs curtain twitching and CCTV day and night. My life is full enough as it is. I just make sure my family are okay, safe and 'sound' of mind. We are all fed-up with quarantine but things are relaxing a little now so good luck to all who need to do what they need to do (apart from mass gathering parties that is … so long as I am not involved!!)

No.

During this situation, it is my responsibility (and yours) to focus on what fulfilling our own personal responsibilities towards society.

It is not my responsibility or yours to guess whether neighbours are doing their best or not. From the window, I can't tell the difference between someone being foolish and someone making a carefully considered visit to prevent harm to physical or mental health, and nor can you.

No. Ill look after my own and my families responsibilities. I have no idea of a neighbours situation. Only time i would have reported someone breaking rules were when teens were spitting at those going into a shop.

To be fair, spitting at people has always been against the rules 😂

Spitting at people can result in prosecution. Think that has been the case for over 30 years, but people weren't widely aware of it.

Various lowlifes who thought they were clever and could take advantage of this situation to be abusive to police and medics without actually laying their hands on them are now finding this out the hard way in courtrooms up and down the country.

Absolutely not. Each of us have very unique circumstances in terms of mental health, job security, disabilities, finances, support needed etc. And everyone i know is doing their best to manage their particular situation under the same guidance as everyone else. Obviously that means that different people will end up making different decisions. It doesn't make anyone a 'covidiot' or whatever just a person who for a few moments prioritised something above coronavirus.

Unless you're literally a policeman it's not your job to police other people. We're all in the same storm but in very different boats!

No. If I had to report everyone I know of who’s had someone round it’s be a very long phone call.
