I think I’ve sacked off a friendship because of it.
My friend has always been a little bit of an immature idiot but she had some good points that out weighed her immaturity but her selfishness has really come to the forefront in this crisis.
Firstly last week she went on holiday to a national park. It was rammed with similar idiots and she socialised a lot. And the person she went away with had a cough before leaving.
Secondly she came back from holiday and decided she would carry on her freelance business which involves going into the homes of people (many vulnerable) and unnecessarily touching them. Despite being in a financial position not to do so (I know this for a fact).
Thirdly she “self isolated” at home for 3 days with her sister who has CV symptoms and had travelled across the country on public transport, to then decide she couldn’t hack “being alone” and up and move in with her new partner (six weeks) who had also been elsewhere in the country with people who have symptoms. Because she couldn’t bear to be without him and might find herself “at the wrong end of a knife”.
“We will just self isolate for two weeks” has turned into selfies in the queue outside Asda and talking about how hard it all is for her, her, her.
All of this whilst continually asking me for advice as she “doesn’t want to contribute to the problem”. Then doing the exact opposite of my advice (which is always the current NHS and government advice and basic science).
Meanwhile I’m shielding for 12 weeks as I’m on the vulnerable list, my husband is a doctor so I don’t get to see him for all that time and haven’t see him for two weeks thus far. And she had said “that’s not too bad, you can really see it as ‘me’ time”.
Done, done, done.
Our usually lovely neighbours across the way are taking their dogs off in the car every day for 4-5 hour walks in the countryside. FFS!
Anyone else fallen out with a selfish fucker?
