People behaving strangely

I was out walking for our once a day exercise with my husband pushing our 6 month old baby in her pram, and a man pulled up at the side of the road and rolled down his window and said quite threateningly, “Got a problem?”, he looked like he was going through withdrawal, his eyes were very red and he seemed paranoid, we said “what?” And he replied, “Have you got a problem? Why were you staring at me? Why were you staring? Do you have a problem?”. We most certainly were not staring, I thought the man was going to get out the car, I was quite shaken up after. My husband told him to get a grip and we continued on walking, I’m glad I had him with me or I’d have been so frightened. I think we’re going to see a lot more of this kind of behaviour as people can’t find access to drugs. Stay safe people, it might have been a one off but I’m dreading leaving the house again. There’s been so many people speeding in their cars up and down the streets too.

Has anyone else found people taking chances now we’re on lockdown?

yup, domestic violence will go through the roof aswell, men who cant go to the pub etc. when i was a child my mum would look after our neighbours children when mum went to work as the dad, was a nasty alcoholic, under this lockdown those kind of arrangements won't be possible, its frightening. Im. so glad nothing happened, that does sound scary hope your ok,OP.

I think there's going to be a group of people who didn't realise or consider that their life style was actually an addiction. They probably thought their cocaine and alcohol use was just recreational and they were in control of it.
I think there will also be people who believe they take codamol as pain relief and haven't realised they take it because they're addicted to it.
These few weeks are going to really highlight the reality of some people's lives.

Couldn't agree more @fuzzymoon - street drugs and booze.

I think a lot of people will still be able to access drugs, I can’t imagine dealers letting CV stop them.
