To think in midst of the coronavirus pandemic

[veraismyspiritanimal]

Standing in massive queues for over an hour to buy fancy cakes is just ridiculous ?

I mean, there is so little enjoyment right now with this fucking virus around that I'd consider standing in line for a cake. Mind your own business.

Where is this three-mile long queue for fancy cakes?
I just Googled and found nothing.

OP, are you sure you didn't dream this?

There's a thread going for odd dreams.

@veraismyspiritanimal

Loitering in large groups is not encouraged. I couldn't have 7 people in my large garden and there would be far more space between each person than there was in a three mile queue to get non essential items Ridiculous

Are they queuing in clusters of 7 then?

OMG moaning about 'non essential items' on Mumsnet, takes me right back to the start of lockdown 🤣🤣

Ahh the memories...

Is it chocolate cake? I'd queue for a long time for a really excellent chocolate cake.

Cake is a Goddamn essential item. Marie Antoinette knew it, the tax office knew it. Cake is life.

What people queuing for what cake?

That's the thing nobody would go and stand in a queue for hours for medicine. They would go back when it was safer

Entirely depends on the type of chocolate. It’s unreasonable to queue for carrot cake or fruit cake. Most other cakes are fair game.

^^ cake not chocolate!

Cake is life - truth right here!

Untrue. I’ve waited at the hospital pharmacy for ages recently.

They would queue for medicine if it was first come first served and stocks were limited. Which is often the case with good cake.

Is this a TAAT? Where is this queue for cake and how can I join in

You can get prescriptions delivered for free...

Did they run out of fancy cake before you got to type front of the three-mile queue, OP?

*the front

No answer about social distancing then?

@Haenow you are so wrong. A really good carrot cake is a thing of true magnificence.

Now I want cake

I wouldn’t queue for an hour for cake, but I don’t really see how it’s a high risk activity.

Standing in a queue as long as one you'd see for Alton towers for fecking cake? I would rather have a cake than any ride at AT

nobody would go and stand in a queue for hours for medicine at the start of lockdown this is what many of us had to do to get our medication actually.

Stop claiming everybody who leaves the house for no essential.reasons is responsible for the pandemic. We are allowed to buy and eat cake, we are allowed to join queues, we are even allowed to enjoy a non essential item.

If you don't want the came don't join the queue but I don't think anyone's buying the idea that came purchasers are to blame for the 2nd wave.

Yep. Those people boasting about how they didn't need to buy milk more than once a week because they used to freeze it in dinky little milk cubes and defrost them one at a time whenever they fancied a cuppa.

No doubt these were the same people whining about 'hoarders' only a few weeks previously.

*came= cake

OP why are you ignoring the questions of where this was? Where was there a three mile queue for cake?

Also, are you drunk?
