Ignorant neighbour

The lockdown rules clearly don’t apply to her. She lives alone as do I. She isn’t working, never goes for a walk yet has been out in the car all afternoon (again). I heard her on the phone yesterday arranging to see whoever it was today and now her young nephew has come round. They’re watching a film and no doubt he will be sleeping over. FFS.

Sorry, I just needed to rant. Especially after she woke me up having a long phone call at 6.45 this morning.

Report her to the Police

Jaggerypokery · 03/04/2020 21:05

Bunny I’m so tempted but as I live in the flat above hers it would be so obvious who had dobbed her in.

Do you know that she’s not providing care?

SoleBizzz · 03/04/2020 21:10

Some people are openly admitting to doing this on Facebook too.

Darbs76 · 03/04/2020 21:11

She shouldn’t be providing care though

Jaggerypokery · 03/04/2020 21:13

Regina she’s not providing care. I’m just staggered at such wilful ignorance. A guy from over the road was taken to hospital about 10 days ago by paramedics in PPE so she knows coronavirus is f——ing serious and close to home. She’s not unintelligent. Clearly though the rules don’t apply to her. I can’t believe people would admit to doing this sort of thing on fb Sole.

Does it matter if she knows it’s you? Are you friends with her? She couldn’t really know as other people might see him coming and going but she just shouldn’t be doing it. I expect the most the Police would do is talk to her - maybe even call her about it?

I find it frustrating that people are not taking these rules seriously and people are dying as a result. It’s so selfish.

How do you know her sister isn't very ill, even potentially in hospital, and that's why she was on the phone, then collected the child? She isn't throwing a party and you don't know what's going on. If you see a big group then get as interfering as you like calling the police, by all means remind people to stand or walk at safe distances from you, but in this case I suspect you've just misunderstood what's going on. Could you watch a film or something to keep yourself occupied instead?

It is hard to watch.
My neighbour's on both sides are still mixing households, one even having her little grandchild stay over. I was staggered when they were all out clapping for the NHS on Thursday night....

Dontlickthetrolley · 04/04/2020 08:44

Got the same here. Neighbour is 1 mum and 3 children under 14. In the past week, visitors have included her 2 older children who visited with their children, her boyfriend and the father of her younger children. Plus the kids have been playing with others in the street too. Am fully expecting a bbq house party tomorrow 🤦‍♀️

BunnytheBee · 04/04/2020 08:57

@Dontlickthetrolley I think people like this need reporting as they are helping the spread

Jaggerypokery · 04/04/2020 09:12

The nephew stays over every few weeks. This morning woken up at 6 by much hilarity and loud chatter. I know her sister isn’t ill because she brought him round and they were all laughing and joking as per normal. She’s not ill, they’re just taking the piss. The family are very loud generally and seem to just do as they like with no thought to their neighbours. I don’t think a word from the police would make a slight bit of difference.

It is hard to watch. Have to just hope enough people are taking this seriously enough to make a difference and make up for the selfish/ignorant ones who are just interpreting the rules to suit themselves

Our neighbour is the same, had a BBQ last Friday with friends, their kids have had friends round to play during the week too. They’re putting themselves at risk of catching it, which doesn’t overly bother me.

AmelieTaylor · 04/04/2020 09:20

@professor

If it stopped with them, then 🤷🏻‍♀️ But it doesn’t it spreads to all the shops they go to and carries in multiplying and the people who are doing all the right things but still need food shopping get it and die

selfish wankers

Jaggerypokery · 04/04/2020 09:26

Amelie. That’s exactly why I’m so angry. That every time they go
to the shops or visit someone they are putting others into a dangerous situation for no good reason . It just stinks
