Just been out to a small shop to pick up some food. They deliver, but I don't want to take a slot of someone vulnerable.

OP posts:

*why

Microwaveoven · 22/05/2020 15:11

I thought maybe OP had started a thread where we say what we are thinking. Still need the toilet. Stuck to the sofa.

Ninkanink · 22/05/2020 15:11

Oh blasted autocorrect!!😡😡 *that, obviously

Also, why are you going on at us about this? I’ve been to the shops twice since before lockdown started - once for an essential post office run during which I picked up a few essential food items, and once to pick up a prescription for my daughter who is vulnerable.

Bluntness100 · 22/05/2020 15:12

I see the update but don't know wht that makes many of us stupid, and what the question is

I think she or he pressed post again too soon..

Either that or Sharon is back.

bloodywhitecat · 22/05/2020 15:13

Oh. OK.

masonmason · 22/05/2020 15:13

You are calling people stupid but you don't want to take a slot of someone stupid Hmm

masonmason · 22/05/2020 15:14

*vulnerable.

Sorry, you really made stupid stick for too long Grin

MouthBreathingRage · 22/05/2020 15:14

Well you posted on another thread that you firmly believe that in these times we have to put ourselves first and think of others second.

Well did, of course that's how you should act. Until affects the op and their NIMBY attitude, of course Wink.

Institutkarite · 22/05/2020 15:14

Stick to posting this shit on Facebook.

Ninkanink · 22/05/2020 15:14

Argh what’s with all the posting too soon, I just managed to do it too!

Anyway, was going to say, I’ve not seen anyone being stupid, everyone was behaving in a perfectly civilised manner and keeping their distance. The idiots are in the minority, from what I’ve seen and also what I’ve observed (we live right next to a Tesco express and whenever we go on our walks there are queues with people patiently waiting their turn. Most people are not behaving stupidly.

OhCaptain · 22/05/2020 15:16

Posting to call people stupid and not knowing how to finish a thread?

There’s a beautiful irony in that...

Itsallgonewoowoo · 22/05/2020 15:16

I thought it was too early to be pissed, obviously the OP doesn't agree....

SkyDragon · 22/05/2020 15:17

So in fact you mean the people in the shop were stupid. Not us.

Goawayquickly · 22/05/2020 15:17

I expect this was a shop in Cornwall.

JaneJeffer · 22/05/2020 15:17

I am obviously a bit stupid because I don't understand why it's ok for you to be in the shop but everyone else should not.

Ninkanink · 22/05/2020 15:18

Oh I give up! Here’s the dropped parenthesis...

Iwalkinmyclothing · 22/05/2020 15:20

Stay out of shops

Take your own advice maybe?

No one should be calling you a bitch or any other unpleasant names of course.

Iwillhavetea · 22/05/2020 15:21

I get my shop delivered weekly from Morrisons or Asda. I have two kids no car and it's better this way than me struggling 3 times a week to push a pushchair full of food. How would you suggest parents with pushchairs for example go shopping? If we are pushing an infant who will push our trolley.

Vunerbale people can get slots at Iceland and other online shops. They can ask family. They can ask local support groups. They don't always have the internet. They have special times.

If there's slots to be had then whoever gets them is entitled to them.

Or is that like going to Cornwall. How many more things are healthy people under 65 doing to piss everyone else off.

We are wrong for everything. Now we are taking the piss getting meals for our families.

Feck sake

CoronaMoaner · 22/05/2020 15:21

I’m having chorizo rice for dinner.

Becstar90 · 22/05/2020 15:22

What's your point?

Moondust001 · 22/05/2020 15:22

If we are all stupid, then given your actions here, what does that make you? A moron?

GuiltyBark · 22/05/2020 15:23

YANBU I'm definitely stupid. Not in terms of clogging up shops and being rude to people. I'm just not not terribly bright. Grin

JaneJeffer · 22/05/2020 15:23

Did you buy the ingredients in a shop @CoronaMoaner?

CremeEggThief · 22/05/2020 15:24

Hmm, think there's only one stupid person on this thread!🙄

Waxonwaxoff0 · 22/05/2020 15:24

Nothing more hypocritical than going to a shop and then telling others to stay out of said shop.
