Frustrated and bored of this now

Am I the only one who finds the Coronovirus inconvenient more than anything?

My husband, daughter and I are all fit and healthy and had Disney booked for Easter. Now it’s looking like we can’t go which for us personally, is a total bugger. I can’t even get through on the lines to cancel and get my money back and have to leave it a week because the lines are jammed.

I went to the supermarket on Thursday and today to get hand wash and some other bits. The first was totally sold out of soap and pasta. The second...:it was like the apocalypse. No canned food.....no bread...the idea of hand wash, soap or shower gel was a joke and all the branston pickle was gone. Branston fucking pickle?!?!?

I over heard a lady saying she can’t get nappies for her kids because they are all gone.

Some kid sneezed at a flip out /trampoline place today and I swear I thought some of the parents were going to shoot him where he stood. The rate they were going on you’d think he’d been licking the hand rails or something.

If you turn the news on, all you hear is about covid (as if nothing else is happening in the world) and it’s so dramatic. Have you seen the screen the bbc put up with covid plastered across it? It’s highly inflammatory and not even slightly reassuring.

Before people lay into me about being selfish I totally get why SOME portions of the community are worried. I get it because my father and father in law are elderly and both suffer with serious health issues and presumably you and they would implement the measures they can but normal people in a similar situation to me have lost their fucking minds!!!!

I said this yesterday but people do realise that in order to stop this from spreading, everyone needs to be able to access some form of soap. What good is it doing if you are wading into your bathroom, knee deep in it all when the rest of the world hasn’t got any 🙄

@Mordred
Thank you for that link - I cannot believe the level of stupid selfish thoughtless guff spouted by some people on here - @Starbuck8419 especially you 😡

😂😂 but my holiday being cancelled is inconvenient and frustrating. How is that unacceptable?
It’s frustrating and inconvenient I can’t buy canned goods, bog roll and pasta.

Have I said it’s the worst thing in the world and surpasses everyone else’s feelings? Nooooo
Have I said my first world problems are more important than those dying and their bereaved families? Again, nooooo
Have I suggested I’ll run round the streets licking people now I’ll be bored as I don’t have a holiday to go on? Nooooo
Have I given utter sympathy to the select groups who are most at risk and vulnerable? Yes.
Have I repeated myself to halfwits a trillion times? Yes.

Now, please tell me my stance is clear? 😂 I can’t keep repeating myself to idiots who fail to grasp the original point...

Ps - if you can’t believe the guff (love that by the way...I haven’t heard that in a long time) on here you will be done over by the quality on mumsnet. It’s incredible.

I didn’t say I was embarrassed, just pointing out that you are. How dumb you come across has no bearing on me.

Your being deliberately obtuse. It doesn’t matter how well you can handle it or fight it’s it’s about spreading it to those that can’t. Seriously op stop being a fucking idiot and wise up a bit.

Starbuck8419 · 16/03/2020 14:41

You called me a fucking idiot. How will I cope.

Anyway, I thought this topic had run its course? Always one more insult to add.

OP I'm bored and frustrated with it as well. And pissed off that my Easter holiday won't happen. But apparently we're not allowed to be bored/frustrated/pissed off.

Starbuck8419 · 16/03/2020 14:55

Agreed. It’s ridiculous

This is the third thread I've seen where people are getting really nasty.

And NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET!!!

People who think they are going to be ok with enough food and lovely home are going to be as screwed as the rest.

Enjoy being bored or frustrated; before you have to deal with being scared and having to protect your home : because Police aren't going to do it.

Starbuck8419 · 16/03/2020 15:28

Oh calm your tits

Point proven I think. Hysteria.

@Starbuck8419

Starbuck8419 · 16/03/2020 16:12

Erm....good one?

Anyway, I tried to get some calpol today. Couldn’t find any anywhere. Really irritating.

@chocolatesaltyballs22 I know. The world is going to end and how dare you be inconvenienced by it 😂

@Starbuck8419 are we really still making the childish 'jokes' at this point? You seem to think you're being very clever but you're really not. This is a serious issue. Grow up.

@Cocoandclive27

Agree 100%
