Im in a cafe and next to 3 men in a business meeting talking about coronavirus how it will impact their company, intresting and also slightly terrifying

OP posts:

One man is clearly saying the goverment is not doing much so we shouldnt worry, one man getting quite desperate and saying look at Italy and the other man taking it in ,

???

Not sure what you are asking?

Beldon · 12/03/2020 10:56

Good story. One man worried and other isn’t and the 3rd listening. You were right to post that, we need to know about this crazy cafe behaviour Grin

RedRed9 · 12/03/2020 10:58

OP is this one of those ‘you had to be there’ moments?

ThePluckOfTheCoward · 12/03/2020 10:58

Gosh, how interesting 🙄

AhoyMrBeaver · 12/03/2020 11:00

Three men having the same conversation that's being had in every workplace in the country. Sounds interesting.

eurochick · 12/03/2020 11:00

Surely this is a conversation happening everywhere at the moment?

peachescariad · 12/03/2020 11:00

Wow 3 people talking about Coronavirus? Blimey whatever next....

AngelicaKauffman · 12/03/2020 11:07

Surely this is a conversation happening everywhere at the moment?

Yes but these were BUSINESSMEN.

If there's two things that make me pay attention it's BUSINESS and MEN. Very important stuff.

Sparklingbrook · 12/03/2020 11:10

Is anyone talking about anything else? Grin I think they shouldn't have business meetings in cafes as people could be earwigging.

squeekums · 12/03/2020 11:14

can i have my 30 seconds back please

ShirleyPhallus · 12/03/2020 11:15

@AngelicaKauffman Grin

Loppy10 · 12/03/2020 11:16

Wow fascinating story OP. What coffees were they having?

Sparklingbrook · 12/03/2020 11:17

I would imagine proper MAN coffees @Loppy10. Grin

The woman on the till at Aldi on Tuesday told me that they are selling loads of baked beans this week, and all the hand wash has gone. My mom knows someone who just came back from Italy but he seems fine at the moment.

Itwasntme1 · 12/03/2020 11:22

Surely most people are talking about this?

HedgehogDramas · 12/03/2020 11:23

You lot are mean but you have made me laugh!! :) :) :)

How can something be 'slightly' terrifying? Are you terrified or not?

This is crackers!

AutumnRose1 · 12/03/2020 11:26

It’s probably just standard business continuity planning OP.
Yes, I resisted the urge to say “bog”

Roselilly36 · 12/03/2020 11:26

Were these 3, Boris & Crew 😂

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 12/03/2020 11:27

Let's all hear what some random men have to say, let's bow to their wisdom.

JustInCaseCakeHappens · 12/03/2020 11:29

OP, you should read the DM, you will find a lot more material to get terrified.

Mayaaaaa · 12/03/2020 11:30

I read this as though there was going to be a joke.

Like there used to 'an English man, irish man and Scotsman are all in a pub....'
