Idiots complaining about too many people being out when they're out too.

[DianneWhatcock]

A couple days ago on the news they interviewed a woman who had driven an hour and a half to the beach. Think was Dorset.

She was complaining bitterly that it’s “as busy as Tesco’s and it’s sooooo hard to keep distance” with a sad bemused face

It was Like she was Completely not getting the fact she was also at the beach. Or maybe felt entitled to be there herself but felt others shouldn't be

Don’t want to (infinitesimally) risk yourself being around people? Well don’t go to places that will probably be busy and then get angry that others are at that same place too !! 🤦‍♀️

I've seen it all over the place. people on social media posting stuff like "OMG I'm in B&M stores and there's sooooo many people out what's wrong with people" even posting pics of the long queues

Absolute Fuckwits the lot of them

I have someone on my facebook like this, going for a walk and complains how busy it was, people are idiots, its too busy, going to be a second wave, err, why are you so special to be allowed out and nobody else?

I saw a thing on SM last Monday when BoJo said for everyone to go back to work, a woman was complaining that the bus was so busy it was "like a covid party bus" and the second wave coming - ummm, people were probably going to work at 7am, they probably didnt want to be on the bus either. But the OP then had to drop in that she worked in the hospital, alright for her to be on the bus going to work but nobody else.

I am very close to coming off FB, if i see one more post on the community pages saying "people everywhere", "idiots" "second wave" or "need the army" i am going to combust.

Pretty funny. I guess these people haven't heard the old saying "you aren't stuck in traffic, you ARE traffic".

I feel same Lemmy ...sounds like you could do with joining the dementors threads on here...highly recommend

Why do you all stay on those idiot FB groups though?!

Yes. It's like going to Alton Towers on a hot day in August and complaining that it's busy.

@TheHumansAreDefinitelyDead mostly as they are a good source of finding veg boxes that home deliver, where i can get fresh meat who also deliver and eggs and potatoes, granted its back to normal in the supermarkets but i still like to order from local retailers as they need our support more than ever.

I found a brilliant veg place that does veg boxes for £25 and they deliver for free, would never have found it if they hadn't of advertised on the community pages. Worth wading through the crap for something that will benefit you and a small business.

It depends if she is moaning about the number, which she is part of, of the refusal by morons to respect any social distancing.

It's a bit like idiotics tourists in London - as opposed to tourists minding their own business who don't bother anyone: it IS busy at rush hour, we are all rushing. The muppet who decide to block tickets gates by standing right in front with their family, whilst they faff about trying to remember where they put their tickets should be shot - or at least kicked hard enough that they move out the way. People who don't stop the flow are the same as anyone else, who cares what they are there for.

There's a special kind of entitled families at the moment who have decided they have a right to be anywhere they want, however they want, and refuse to show basic manners and respect distances. Twats that block the entire length of paths for example, so no one can possibly overtake.

Why do you all stay on those idiot FB groups though?!

They’re generally quite handy to be on for community information - which pubs we’re doing home delivery services, which butchers were delivering meat boxes, etc, some shops reduced their opening hours but didn’t really advertise the fact, etc

Ours have gradually been taken over by people posting shaming photos of random lone dog walkers spreading death on beaches/rants about queues outside B&Q so I had a mass cull

Yes. It's like going to Alton Towers on a hot day in August and complaining that it's busy

@hammeringinmyhead exactly hahahaha words fail me

We've always been allowed to go outside, it's very hypocritical to pretend you haven't noticed that roads got a lot busier and there were a lot more people around. Restrictions are near lifted now anyway, so it's a moot point, but blindly pretending you could not possibly see what others are mentioning is a a bit cringey.

Argh I know I've had it on my social media all through lockdown. Pictures of a queue with oh I can't believe these are all going for essentials , this is my first time out in a week . Well yeah how do you know they are not going for essentials ? , and you don't get a special badge for going out the least amount of times you know .
Also it's frequently annoyed me the pictures of people out social distancing. Even on here one saying about VE Day oh there will be a increase of deaths , how if your social distancing? . Yes you will always have a few that aren't but the majority are so stop with the complaining and scaremongering, they love it .

Also you will get big queues because they can't allow many in the shop . Yeah sorry Karen your not the only one going to Asda on a Saturday afternoon funny that .

At the weekend someone on my local FB page complaining about people driving to beach when she had driven there herself. That was apparently ok because she had only driven 5 minutes whereas they might live on the other side of town and so have driven for 15 minutes.

and you don't get a special badge for going out the least amount of times you know

you probably should, as the guidelines were to go out as little as possible and limit your shopping as much as you possibly could.

Translated by some as "I am popping to buy make-up on my daily walk"!

I am so happy never to have to hear about the fucking "daily walk"!

@imsooverthisdrama wow now, steady on you have gone to far.

I know a Karen, she doesnt grumble about the queues as she expects them. Nice woman she is.

Very intelligent and graceful and friendly and lots more. Cant think how i know her so well

Of all the name to choose why that one??

The journalist definitely designed it to make her look like a twat!! The whole thing was hilarious, mainly the two men in the background pretending they didn't realise the woman was being interviewed!! There was a lot of shouting at the TV in this house too!!!

Also someone taking photos out of their window of people in the street and starting arguments about whether people passing each other are 2m apart or not.

I am curious to know how long it will take for all these people insisting on their "daily walk" to justify anything (when it was nowhere near the guidelines) to jump back on their car and refuse to walk 200 yards to school

OMG I'm in B&M

I have to comment on this one. A family member of mine works in a B&M store, and at their branch, the manager is not ensuring that there's a staff member on the door to only allow a safe number of customers in at one time. Apparently on Saturday the shop was absolutely heaving with people who had wandered in (purely because it was the only shop without a queue) and my family member was practically climbing the walls with frustration and anger when they got home. As a junior member of staff they can do nothing about it, and have heard that their branch is not the only one affected in this way.

So please, if you find the same dangerous overcrowding on your visit to a B&M store, please complain to their head office, put it on here, twitter, wherever. Thank you!

She's been stitched up by the BBC but she was very naive in travelling 90 mins to a beach on a hot Saturday afternoon and wondering why a beach is busy.

People do it at Christmas too. Laughing at or complaining about allllllll the other shoppers panic buying (and the shops are are shut one day don't you know). Yet there they are, queuing up with all the panic buyers with their own three trollies full of prawn rings and carrots.

Happens here on MN all the time. "I was in the queue at the supermarket and it was FULL of people buying stuff. I was so close to the person in front of me that I could count exactly how many cucumbers she had and how many wrinkles she had as she was old. Why don't people stay at home rather than do non-essential shopping and KILLING the NHS?"

I can’t wait for people to stop going on about:

It’s too busy
People aren’t social distancing
The 2nd wave
On my daily walk
Flour
What’s the queue like in Aldi?
There was a whole family shopping in Asda 😡
I’m not sending my child to school
Always making the point that they were social distancing
Panic buying

haha me too @Yellowbutterfly1

bore off I say

@LemmysAceCard I'm sorry to any Karen's I offended it was just the one that I know. I'm sure your friend Karen is lovely .
