AIBU to think some people are so inconsiderate

[MrsDoubtfire2018]

Today I was shopping in a local supermarket and there was woman walking around every aisle and coughing non stop, she was not wearing a mask, nor did she have a lanyard, but what irked me even more was that she didn’t make much of an effort to even cover her mouth whilst coughing.

Then when we were queuing to pay, she turned up behind me( I was scooting as fast I could around the shop to avoid her) and started to chat to the lone unmasked cashier across from our cashier saying”I see your smile, well done for not bowing down to the government like sheep, when we all have natural immunity”!! All said whilst coughing some more 😩 fully aware that there are tons of us around all masked up!

Then proceeding to chat to all and sundry around her. The worst part was she seemed so well spoken and articulate which seemed to clash entirely with her inconsiderate behaviour.

Aibu to feel like this woman was out of order?!

I can’t cover my mouth unless you want me to fall.

There is also no legal obligation to have a lanyard.

I know she sounds like a twerp (great word) but not wearing a lanyard doesn’t mean she’s not exempt.

I know she sounds like a twerp (great word) but not wearing a lanyard doesn’t mean she’s not exempt.

tbh hardly anyone is genuinely exempt. She sounds like a person taking the mick.

I am genuinely exempt.

I object to having to wear a lanyard so I don’t. Even if I’m walking without my crutches.

The worst part was she seemed so well spoken and articulate which seemed to clash entirely with her inconsiderate behaviour. you think only the thick working class are against the vaccine and spread germs??

Indeed! Very odd 😄

YANBU.
Went to asda last weekend, new boba tea place open, stood I'm a queue for a long amount of time as it was taking an age for staff to make drinks.

Woman comes over, cough, cough, cough. No mask. Husband and daughter move away slightly. She moves closer. Cough cough, cough, cough.

Got pinged yesterday, had contact with a positive case on Saturday.

So fucking sick and tired of people not being considerate to anyone else. Don't wanna wear a mask? Keep your distance, have a cough? Keep your distance.

People who won't wear masks and make comments about people who wear them being sheep will usually not be testing either.

I'm really not for mandatory vaccination or unvaccinated being in lockdown, but I wish there was a way to make people slightly more considerate past their own concerns.

Meanwhile in the rest of the world we wear masks. And if we wear the roumd the chin security politely remind us. I have never met any person who is exempt, never been to a meeting where we don't distance or wear masks. In the mall, I do see people not wearing masks but for good reason. I guess that's why we have minimal cases

Why do you think well spoken equals considerate?
Yabu and naive for that alone!

Look at Johnson.

My sister hates masks so says she is exempt. Except at work when she wears one for 8 hours a day. She has a lanyard and is poised to argue her case. She bought it on ebay. Meanwhile another sibling is in hospital

Dragon it really isn't.

Isn't what?

Although we also have effective Healthcare so I guess being able to see a Dr immediately is a factor.

I had a pregnancy scan this week and the number of women who seem to wave around their scan photos afterwards in front of everyone else rather than tucking them away discreetly in case someone else has had bad news was outrageous and pissed me off and therefore YANBU because people are inconsiderate wankers and the coughing doesn’t sound great either!

Btw at said appt we all had to wear masks. Fine. The reception staff at hospital wearing it incorrectly - one not over their nose and one not over mouth OR not it also gave me serious rage.

Now that is annoying!

This can be sad for the other women / prospective parents around. I remember going for many emergency scan with my first and it was nerve racking in the waiting room. I didn’t think it was right to have both emergent scans and normal scans in the same waiting area. I remember seeing on poor couple sobbing in the waiting room, very sad.

The worst part was she seemed so well spoken and articulate which seemed to clash entirely with her inconsiderate behaviour.

Would it have been more acceptable if she was a bam?

I meant it was just unexpected, that’s all. I have already apologised if my words came across in the wrong way. Sorry, what is bam?

@MrsDoubtfire2018

Yes, it’s very hard having the mixture of parenting receiving both wonderful and tragic news but also it’s not always possible to know ahead of time which someone will receive so not always possible to separate. People need to just be more considerate and less self involved!

@ChooChooSan

Look at Johnson.

I'd rather not thanks!

It’s the law so she should have worn a mask

Is it not just courteous to cover your mouth when coughing, covid or no covid?
