Anyone else had enough of the preaching?

NC as think my friend may be on here.

I know I know, venting on a forum about your friend is pretty shit. But it’s not just her. I’ve had my fucking fill of bearing about people complaining that their neighbour has been to Tesco more than once today, speculation over whether someone has used up a school place they shouldn’t, anger towards single people meeting a friend for a walk, the utterly vile attacks on here when anyone dares so much as mention they are worried about the vaccine (no, I’m not anti the vaccine). It’s all so depressing and I can’t fathom what makes people desperate to get on their high horse at every opportunity.

My friend spent an hour nearly yesterday talking about a single friend she has (I don’t know her), explaining that she’s selfish, she exercises with another friend, she dared to go on a date at Christmas, etc etc. For some reason, my friend, like every other person it seems, has assumed the role of Knowing Best.

I know reading the news and Mumsnet etc is fuelling this and if I stop then I wouldn’t hear about it so much. But of all the things to emerge from the pandemic, i don’t think I will ever forget how fast and easy it was for people to turn on others. It’s very sad.

My local Facebook groups and Next door is full of Covid police preachers! The irony is that they themselves are at the place they are complaining about eg. The Park/High st/Supermarket was heaving bla bla bla but the preachers always have some valid reason such as picking up medicine for someone vulnerable etc etc. How they know that all the other people there are not doing the same I do not know. I find it embarrassing and a bit enjoyable

Brilliant article, thanks for sharing @dameofdilemma

Oh yes. During the summer I remember some arsehole on my local area Facebook group posting a photo of some teenagers standing and chatting in the street, full of rage at their murderous behaviour (cases were very low in Scotland at this point). Post was swiftly removed after it was pointed out that taking photos of kids you don’t know out of your car window is pretty creepy.

No. But I am fed up of people not following the rules and then giving a hundred excuses as to why they don’t apply to them. Fucking idiots
