AIBU to ask what is the worst lockdown rule you have broken?

[EmJay19]

AIBU to say a lot of (but not all) people have broken the rules to varying degrees once or twice even when they generally stick to the rules?

What’s the worst thing you’ve done?

I went to the pub with a friend when I shouldn’t have done as not from same household. Sitting outside would have been ok at that point...

Fuckkk for someone who is anti lockdown i just realised i havent broken any rules. Not been out the house except to food shop and thats it. Although i give it until end of march.

I dont blame people for breaking some rules. I dont blame anyone seeing their family or friends, or even a tinder meet up, we are social animals and this is not natural. I dont even know why i have stuck to the rules but im continuing to do so.

I've been on two (solo) walks a day throughout. That's all.

During a previous lockdown when we weren't allowed to have visitors in the garden, SIL came round to drop something off. We stood a few metres apart chatting in the front garden for over half an hour. I even brought out chairs and gave her a cuppa.

Later, when garden visitors were allowed, I had her over in the garden regularly and went to her garden often also, despite knowing she is very forgetful about the social distancing. She just can't seem to grasp and stick to the 2m distance even with frequent reminders.

When we were only allowed out for exercise once a day, I went out two or three times a day if I wanted to.

I didn't do this and did not agree to it but. London tier 4. DH family have 85 year old grandma who lives alone. She has a son and a daughter, each of which have three children. Christmas Eve she spent with her son as well as the children from two different households, so including her that was 3 different households. On Christmas Day she went to daughters house, where there were 4 different households.

I think it's pretty outrageous. But no one gave her covid and she's now had her vaccine. Still it's not surprising that it just continues. But she and her children made the decision that they would not and could not leave her alone. Throughout the lockdowns they've gone to visit her and brought her food etc. As socially distanced as possible ( usually in the garden or inside with masks ). I'm sure this isn't the only family who've made that decision. Personally I would have asked one of the young adults living and working at home with parents to just move in with her before the first lockdown. That way they could have just made a household with her and not exposed her to as many people.

I’m not stupid enough to break the rules OP.

You did ask.

During the first lockdown had my parents in my garden at least every other day. I was extremely physically and mentally unwell and heavily pregnant. Without that I would have had a mental heath crisis and there were some serious concerns about wether I was coming out of the other side unharmed. Also we did everything we could to stay safe (ie online shopping deliveries, literally opposite ends of garden etc). No regrets.

Go and see my mum as she's on her own so let her see the grandkids.. the wife does the same with her mum as they put her dad rece toy so both grandmothers live alone. Noones gonna stop me from making sure my mums ok.

Visiting another single mum friend throughout latest lockdown.

having bbqs with my neighbor in the garden throughout the first lockdown, so basically made a bubble before they were allowed.

had casual sex 2 twice last year

had casual sex once so far this year

I’ve just had Covid 19, during a period of time I was being really careful, the irony is not lost on me.

While I was breaking the rules I never caught it, I actually caught it from a shop.

We did our Xmas day mixing on Boxing Day. Come at me, Boris!

Also- and this felt very naughty although it was more of a rule bend at the time rather than full on rule break- we drove 2 hours from our village to DP’s home city to visit family and friends. 9 hours, 5 door steps, 1 toilet stop and not a single hug. It was MIL’s first, and as yet only, chance to meet dd3 who was born at the start of lockdown 1, she’ll be walking by the time she sees her for the second time. We were careful and I regret nothing.

• went and stayed at my Dad's during the first lockdown when his dog was dying and he couldn't get in the vets, not that she needed to go it was peaceful. She was his only companion for a long time, he was devastated and she needed someone with her who was calm and could just lie and stroke her head whilst she went and obviously give him a big hug afterwards. I don't regret it. This was before bubbles.

• my WiFi went down for a week. Was supposed to be WFH, office closed. So went and worked at my mum's. We weren't in lockdown then but we were in tiers and I wasn't supposed to be in her house. Used the spare room as my 'office' for the week.

• see my mum for walks and probably don't distance as much as we should. I've also been in her house a couple of times afterwards for a brew during this lockdown. Both WFH, neither doing anything else so no I don't feel bad.

For everyone who went out on a shagging spree, I hope the pump-and-grunt will have been worth it when we're all lying in morgue. I bet it the guys were all one-thrust wonders as well, before spaffing everywhere. Truly an astounding show.

What a delightful image

I generally support lockdowns but i am getting tired of the melodramatic WHERE ALL GONNA DIE declarations or spouting about morgues.

Come at me Boris? Sorry hard.

Apart from shopping as a couple (and we were only challenged once) nothing

we had the Christmas Day meet up on the 23rd, instead of the 25th because my sister was working on Christmas day and couldn't make it. She then felt ill and tested positive for covid and passed it on to all of us.

My family, my sister's family and my parents tend to intermingle as one large childcare bubble, and we tend to stop for a cuppa at pick up.

Of the 6 adults and 3 kids, none of us shop in supermarkets, 3 work out of the house, two (from separate households) in the same, mostly deserted office. The other has had the vaccine.

We've got two autistic adults across the six of us, one autistic kid and one with epilepsy. One adult recovering from severe PPD (probably should have been diagnosed as psychosis tbh). Honestly covid isn't the biggest mortality risk my family face.

I think you're all selfish a holes actually for breaking them then boasting about it. You're all the reason why we are still in this shit. Thank you for being such selfish pricks.

You're welcome

I don't think that everyone here is boasting, and quite a few have fair reasons. I actually feel horribly guilty for going to see my best friend, but she was in such a bad place she needed me there not just the other end of the phone. The op asked and people are answering.

Hugged my best friend and her new husband at their wedding in September, and stood beside them for the photos. We completely forgot about the social distancing those 2 times. It was a small wedding, within the permitted numbers, but we just got caught up in the day and forgot about the distance thing a couple of times.

I've not always kept a 2m distance when out for a walk. My friend broke the rules by transporting her elderly mum by train 400 miles across the country in Dec. They both caught covid and her mum has now been in hospital a month with it.

Who is all? Because a few people on here havent broken any laws or rules and some who have had a good reason for it.
