After the last 3 months, I thought people would actually have some common sense. But no.
I've been shielding (properly, not the "shielding when it suits me kind"). Yesterday had to take our rabbit to the vets. It's like GPs where you wait outside and then phone you when you can go in. When they phoned, they said to go in and wait outside room 1. So I go in and there is the large waiting room area. Room 1 to the left, room 2 to the right, each with a single chair 2 or 3 metres from the door, and loads of yellow/black striped tape on the floor clearly segretating the two halves of the waiting room. It's empty when I go in. I leave bunny in its carrier by the door as instructed and walk back to sit in the chair. A couple of minutes later, the vet opens the door, we have a 2 metre chat and he takes bunny away. Later, he puts bunny back outside, tells me what's the problem and says he's prescribing the drugs etc and will be 5 mins or so, so after hes gone, I go to get bunny and sit down again. I'm thinking how well organised it is, how safe it is etc.
Then this stupid woman walks in. Completely ignores the signs, markings etc and comes straight over to me. Stands right in front of me and asks where room 2 is. So I point over to the other side of the room and she heads over there. The vet opens the door, but shes literally stood inches from the door so he tells her to stand back. She takes one step back, still less than 2m, so he tells her to go sit on the chair. So she goes over and picks up the chair and brings it back and puts it right nect to the door. So he tells her to move it back. Eventually, she's 2m away and they have a conversation about her cat and he takes it away. Then, she picks up her chair and brings it over and puts in next to mine and sits down, less than 1m away and starts chatting and wanting to look at bunny etc. I say I need space as I'm shielding and stand up, and walk to the other side of the room, but she follows me and starts talking about her cat etc, less than 2m away. Finally the vet reappears, gives me the medicine and I excape.
Just why can some people not follow simple instructions and are incapable of social distancing even when told to? People need to learn how to respect other peoples' space. I can understand crowded places, but this was a big empty waiting room. I hope the majority have more common sense than this woman.
