To think if you chose to go abroad during a pandemic it serves you right?

[FunnysInLaJardin]

I get that folk feel they deserve a holiday, but if you travel during the current pandemic you shouldn't complain if rules suddenly change before you get home.

Anyone with half a wit could see that it was a risky thing to do to take a holiday at this time.

Totally agree

Oh bore off.

I think YANBU but I'm sure there will be a pile-on of others who disagree

#bekind eh OP you old charmer

Totally agree. I love holidays, would fly abroad several times a year if I could. There’s not a chance I’d be going atm. It doesn’t need to be a priority for about 99% of people travelling. It’s crazy.

Bluebell take it you are in France?

*pooopy tbf most folk disagree with me, but hey, who gives a shit

I agree. I am totally responsible for my actions.

And enjoying my holiday in France

I wholeheartedly agree

People choosing to travel are also choosing to take a risk, they can't then complain when the risk doesn't go to plan

It's absolutely stupid to travel and then whine about the rules changing.

What in fucks name is the point of this thread? Why not keep your self-important little smuggeries to yourself?

I don't think "it serves you right" but I do think anyone who travels should accept that it's always a possibility that rules will change and they'll have to make adjustments. It would be naive to think it's all back to normal

Yanbu

You are aware this is Aibu

I assume the OP is asking if they are being unreasonable for thinking this

That's the point. Don't like it? Scroll on past

Billy you in France too?

No. I’m in the U.K.

Has anyone complained?
We just travelled abroad to see my in laws in the knowledge we may end up having to quarentine.. we had plans in place were that to happen. You weigh up the options tho... i think there will be a second winter wave and so we either saw the inlaws with our kids now or potentially not for two years (the last time we saw them before this was last summer) which is a long time put of their grandchildrens lives.
I think most people on the flight we were on appeared to be visiting family from the airport scenes....

It defies all sense. A country with one of the worst death rates, and the disease well and truly dispersed throughout thinks it is at risk of that same disease coming in across its borders from its few healthy people going on holiday! It’s the rest of the world that should be stopping British people from entering.

I think that unless we know why someone has gone abroad on holiday we shouldn't really judge. I have chosen not to go abroad, I know people who have, all for different reasons.

I don’t think people “deserve what they get”. I know lots of people who have been to France in the last few weeks, come home and not had to quarantine. They aren’t morally superior to those who are going now!

That said, I’m glad I cancelled my holiday in the Netherlands planned for the last week of the school holidays! With dd starting yr 7 I’d have been in trouble if we’d had to quarantine!

Loads of people are complaining. It's all over social media people tweeting the government and airlines themselves

@dwiz8 ah right... well that is odd as surely they knew it was a possibility... we factored that in and how we would take the hit if needed.. luckily we made it back before this announcement.

Oh not this again. MN wouldn’t survive if people weren’t so bloody sanctimonious.

Ner ner ner I'm right - you're wrong
told you so

I hope you feel good OP

I'm going abroad next month - and you know what, I don't give a toss what any jealous little person back home thinks.

Anyone that gives a toss what you think is ...
