AIBU to think some people are going to miss covid

There's been threads all with people hand wringing about what the neighbours are up to and who's breaking what covid regulations.
The threads are still happening but seem to be fast losing support as most people are more than happy to resume regular life and appreciate the lowering risk.
AIBU to think some people are going to miss the easy social judgement covid made available to them and they'll miss curtain twitching and pretending to worry about their neighbours when their grandchildren enter the house 1 day earlier than a regulation change.

YANBU. Covid has stopped a lot of the shit my neighbour normally causes. She hasn’t been able to have her family there making a noise and blasting music. One time last year she had one of her massive noisy bbqs, I reported to police and they put a stop to it immediately. Normally they’d do nothing about it and I’d just have to put up with the noise.

@HazeyJaneII

I hope the arseholery about people having concerns and some of the absolute horse shiteshite spouted on here calling people lockdown lovers etc (christ that one is getting tired) disappears.
This. I'm not sure why anyone thinks threads like this are really any different.

The Keating 5, I know a family who bought a dog, now they are returning to work and children at school all day. I feel sorry for the dog, it's the kind thats very territorial and barks at people constantly. I really do not understand people who are at work all day buying dogs. Re the moving house, there seemed to be many that were moving out of urban areas and I did wonder what would happen when required to return to work. I never thought about the contract aspect, so thank you for the answer.

But then these people are the type who would find other ways to report neighbours.

And they must have a reason. Boredom. Jealousy. Loneliness.
It's annoying yes. But again, they can't all just be "wankers". There must be a reason behind them being so negative.

Nah. They’re generally just wankers.

I do miss the lovely empty roads that reminded me of my younger days learning to drive.
Back to the crazy roads now.
