I will scream if one more person says or writes ‘stay safe’

[Redbrickwall]

I’m sick of it! I walk round the supermarket and their sound systems are playing through messages about ‘keeping you safe in our store’. Every email at work is signed ‘stay safe’, Halfords even just sent me a spam email about ‘Staying safe’

Omfg I can’t deal with it anymore!! I remember last year when being safe meant not walking out in front of a car or failing onto a train track, avoiding murderers and not walking home alone in the dark!.

Now all that staying safe means and is measured against is not catching Covid!!! It feels like complete brainwashing

Oh and don’t get me started on ‘Protect the NHS’.

Can't stand it. It's not like I'm planning on going swimming in shark infested waters any time soon.

Also hate when TV stations have the words 'Stay at home' in the corner of the screen. I watch TV to get away from all this, not to be reminded of it. Plus, if I'm watching TV, chances are pretty high that I'm already at home being 'safe', surely?

Ugh completely agree. I've never said it or written it. I just don't get it. Does it mean people who catch covid are being careless and reckless with their safety?

To be fair, if they hadn’t told me to stay safe I’d be out licking supermarket products and attending illegal raves. Thank god they told me.

YANBU, it’s drivel.

Stay safe and stay the fuck at home in this new normal OP

God yes -it’s everywhere!

Yes I really hate people trying to be nice. You are so right. Tomorrow when I'm at work serving customers during a pandemic I'll tell them all to fuck off instead.

Yeah because it’s definitely just a choice of ‘Stay safe’ and ‘Fuck off’ 😂😂😂 you’re butthurt because you say it and didn’t know most people don’t like it.

😒

Stay Safe OP

It’s so arbitrary, I work at a school but woe betide me if I don’t ‘stay safe’ and catch the virus and die because that’s definitely on me 😂

I'm sure you don't want to think about what's happening in the health service if this trivia is upsetting you. ffs.

@blueangel19
I need some serious hardship and then things like this would not annoy me? Thanks for the input. I was widowed when I was in my early 20s and left on my own with 2 children. The stay safe comment still annoys me. Sadly my husband couldn’t stay safe from cancer, but as he didn’t die of Covid it doesn’t count does it?

Some amazing replies here I really hang my head in shame that because ‘stay safe’ annoys me that I am not thinking about the NHS. I am truly a monster. I’m out of control

Slathering idiots will be after you with pitchforks! Why won’t you JUST STAY SAFE OP, WHY

Can't agree more OP and I will not be taking part in the stupid 'happy clapping' if it starts up again later,
Just fuck off already with your stupid pans and wooden spoons

Both 'stay safe' and 'strange times' get a big 'fuck off' from me. I'm with you, OP!

I had a fit of the rage today on the supermarket. So many people with no masks or masks hanging off their bottom lip/chin. This is in London where I think the infection rate is 1 in 30...

Then I got called ‘sir’ by an assistant (for god sake I have a pigtail and flowery mask on today - and makeup as I had zoom calls with clients and didn’t want to scare them!).

No, I didn’t rage at the assistant - we both had a laugh - never seen anyone look so mortified and apologise so much (must’ve had the diversity training I suppose) and then she kept coming up to me and calling me sir, then giggling.

Yeah you'd think it was a fucking zombie apocalypse the way people go on.

Chill out and STAY SAFE 🤣

@borntohula

Yeah you'd think it was a fucking zombie apocalypse the way people go on.

Well, these are 'strange times'...

@Blabla81

I can’t stand it either. Just another fad. “Stay safe” “be kind” bla bla bla. May as well just say “don’t die”. “Ok, thanks, I’ll try”.

PMSL...

I've had similar on here. DM ill with cancer but apparently I should hope that nothing bad ever happens to me or my loved ones because I'm not hysterical about covid.

2 of my relatives died last year, one of them as a result of Covid and I still hate ‘Stay Safe’
