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’.

I just saw the end of The One Show where they said stay safe and I thought how annoying it is and then I came on here and saw this thread

Wasn’t that what they used to say at the end of crimewatch?

@Lucidas

How lucky you are, if this tops your list of frustrations this week.

People are trying to deal with things as best they can, in vocabularies that are new and awkward to many of us.

Get over it.

🤦🏼‍♀️

No it was don't have nightmares, do sleep well!

I agree OP another mindless thing to say that has become part of the norm.drives me nuts.

Sorry about all the bold fail.

@Lemonpiano

I don't see how it's any worse than people saying "take care" .

This ^

It’s just the new version

Stay safe 😬

Me too it makes my skin crawl

And the word unprecidented! Dunno why it just does.

In Ireland we often use "good luck" as a farewell. It would probably be more apt than "stay safe" these days.

Can we add the word resilience as well. Anyone who uses it in connection with covid needs to be tasered, preferably once for each day we’ve been living under these restrictions.

It totally would be 😁

And any reference to Anne Frank and WW2

God yes. I'm sick of people comparing this to WW2. Like you're only allowed to complain if things are worse than the Blitz. Fuck off!!!

"Stay safe"

"Don't worry, I've got a gun. Any Covid particles that come near me don't stand a chance."

I’m so thankful people tell me to stay safe I nearly licked all the handrails on the train this morning .

Oh and don’t forget, ‘stay safe’ also means ‘I hope you don’t crash your car or break your leg because there’s no timely guarantee of hospital treatment right now’.

What about the frontline. Argh drives me mad.

O think I’m going that have to start saying that now (so I have to wink too?)

It’s probably been said already but it just makes me laugh, thinking of The Michael McIntyre 2019 fortune teller sketch.

@Lucidas I was widowed when I was 22. Fuck you

@Redbrickwall just ignore him/her, total imbecile

Well I have a loved one whose priority 2 cancer surgery has now been cancelled due to covid patients taking up ICU beds. So yes, I take issue with people minimising the risks of covid for our healthcare system, as you are doing.

Your expletive is sincerely reciprocated.

@Lucidas I have no minimised Covid. I have said the saying ‘stay safe’ irritates the fuck out of me! Talk about putting words in my mouth

so I have to wink too?
Or maybe start saying stay safe with a big theatrical wink
