To be tired of people filming themselves crying?

[Washyourhands48]

For social media likes?

First we had the nurse at the start of lockdown who couldn’t get any apples.

Now we have a care worker filming someone in a store for berating her for wearing her uniform shopping and then filming herself crying in her car!

Give over!

I have found my people!!

All of you saying that "healthcare workers"
shouldn't commute in their uniform is all fine and well if they work in one place.
Community health care workers don't work in one place - you can't expect people to change in their cars as they go around seeing people in their own homes. There are huge numbers of community workers providing all sorts of care in people's own homes (nurses, allied health professionals, social carers) who cannot change between visits, and who are mainly doing a great job to keep people at home, plus extra visits for those who are shielding (and would normally go to their GP surgery). And in this current heat, it's not entirely practical to say they should just wear a jacket over the top. Of course they're all trained in infection control, but it doesn't mean they have the ability to change in and out of uniform in their car.

I don't agree with someone doing their shopping, but if you're on your 11th visit of the day, and you need a wee, most of the supermarkets have a clean toilet you can use. Or should they all carry a portapotty too? Also, if you're on a 10 hr shift and you've left your lunch on your kitchen table in a rush to get out the house, are you just not allowed to eat or drink?
I can imagine the next headline - nurse / carer seen changing out of uniform at the side of the road and weeing into a bucket behind their car / a midwife putting her uniform on in the driveway in preparation for a home birth.
There is so much stuff about hospitals at the moment, when the vast majority of patient contact with the health and social care services are in the community.

I’m tired of people filming other people without their consent over petty disagreements and then selling the footage for 50 quid to a news agency.

It’s a gross intrusion of privacy, no matter what the person presumed to be in the wrong has supposedly done.

Has raised nothing by the way and some nasty comments which I don’t condone but after reading the full story earlier instead of the “evil woman abuses carer” stuff that was in the press initially I can see why people are riled.

“ Could be worse she could of writter a hand wringing whinging posts on Mumsnet”

Could be a lot worse, she could have your grammatical skills. I’m not the only person to whinge on Mumsnet so why target me?

I’m not hand wringing either. 🙄 Just thinking they’re all desperate attention seekers.

Pathetic, embarrassing eejits.

@Witchofzog

@SharonasCorona totally agree about the Nationwide ads. Especially the annoying woman saying "How ARE you, I really mean that. Sorry about all the weight gain. Hope you are on top of that" Just fuck off with all the self indulgent talking to your future self crap.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one! It is really self-indulgent. And why are they all women?

And the Juststoppit nurse pissed me off. It's narcissism at its best. What normal person films themselves crying and then posts it on social media? I get she was in a shit situation but the crying on film made me cringe.

Beyond cringe, she must be so embarrassed now she can fill her boots!

Oh my god that woman! How’s mum? Shut up!!

@Washyourhands48 You made the post you are not being targeted stop trying to play victim like the car crying losers you are bitching about.

Good one with the grammar policing tho Karen.

@R1R2

Ok Hun. Live, Love, Laugh every day and don’t forget to tag your friends on Facebook for 10 days so we can see posts about all their bubz too.

AIBU is for fucking whinging 🙄.

If you see someone in an NHS uniform they have NOT been working directly with those with Covid. People working on those wards shower and change at work (I’m assuming this is the same everywhere - it is where I work). Treat them like anyone else - give them 2m and give them a smile. A thank you might be nice too. If you catch it and are at deaths door you will be very glad to see them! Remember how many healthcare workers have died already and how they are risking their own lives to look after us when we need them.

Some time ago I worked in a fast food place and for hygeine reasons you had to change into your uniform when you got to work and change out of it before you left. If this is important in the food industry surely it is more so if working in a care setting, as I undersand (apologies if this was not the case) the woman who posted the video about the shop altercation was?

@Washyourhands48 Ok Boomer

Give it a rest with the 'Karen' and 'Boomer' business please.
Sexist, ageist nonsense.

Community care/nursing staff sometimes have no choice but to wear uniform out, they may be collecting a prescription or shopping for their service users.

Yes you are supposed to cover up but a uniform is still going to be obvious under a cardigan worn in warm weather.

With regards to uniform transferring pathogens, PHE does not agree, most recent guidance states:

'It is best practice to change into and out of uniforms at work and not wear them when travelling. This is based on public perception rather than evidence of an infection risk. This does not apply to community health workers who are required to travel between patients in the same uniform'

So perhaps some people should stop being so instantly judgemental.

I haven't seen those posts and don't want to

Ha, agree. ‘Performance crying’ seems to be a bit of a thing these days. Just stop.

Oh this isn’t going to end well for the carer.

Playing the poor me I’m a key worker no one can criticise me card and being royally trumped by fact her target is in fact a frontline ICU nurse.

There was nothing in the filmed interaction that indicated the nurse was in the slightest aggressive, it was all coming from the insta-famous-wannabe

It does seem that forcing out a few tears is obligatory on TV nowadays. Doesn't matter how mundane or pedestrian the program is, you need to squeeze out da tears and witter on about your journey. It's just ridiculous and voyeuristic. Can we please get back to keeping a stiff upper lip and self deprecating humour, thank you x

It's always been the rule to change out of uniform after shift. When I trained over 10 years ago the lecturers would pull you if they seen you in uniform out with clinical areas and 3 strikes got you an academic strike. You could also fail your clinical placement if the risks where too high. Even more reason to change now with covid 19.

The Nationwide adverts get on my tits

This! I haven't seen since lockdown started that hasn't profoundly irritated me. I've reached the point of muting them every time they appear.

That should have been "I haven't seen once since lockdown that hasn't profoundly irritated me".

I’m a childminder and what has really wound me up is some of my fellow minders have had t-shirts made up proclaiming us to be ‘frontline’ workers! I also know someone who works on a post natal ward where she works hard but is unlikely to be at high risk of Covid-19 yet constantly moans about how much risk she is at and takes selfies of herself in her PPE.
It’s blatant attention seeking.

I'm not sure that you can focus on filming yourself and crying at the same time, so I'm always dubious about these things. Although I am quite envious because I don't seem to have the ability to cry and wish I could. I definitely wouldn't be able to if you stuck a camera in front of me.
