Enough of people moaning about their social lives when others are dying during a Pandemic

By that logic we should never moan about our social lives, there are people dying every day of many things.
Dying of covid isn't somehow special.

[quote TrustTheGeneGenie]@LastTrainEast

ok that ought to be true, but have you read the AD threads where they boast that they like being in situations where they can spread it?

Absolute and total bollocks. Enough with the bare faced fucking liars, please.[/quote]
No one need take my word for it. Anyone can go look. Any time they think the government should have left it up to common sense. Not just those threads either. There are anti-vaxxers and conspiracy nuts all over the place.

Perhaps for most people it would have been enough to say "look, restrict contact as much as humanly possible. Here are some suggestions that might help"

But sadly we had to pass laws to control the ignorant and selfish and that made it harder on everyone as you couldn't use your own judgment in your situation.

@judgingcat

Enough of blaming covid for dying when it's cancer, mental health, etc killing people first!
Enough posts like this

Enough of coffee clutchers wandering around like zombies on my dog walking routes, littering the countryside with their disposable cups. Fuck off home and boil a kettle, you irritants!

Beccatheboo · 17/02/2021 11:43

@ waltzingparrot ^Naughty naughty OP, starting a bun fight at 9 o'clock in the morning.^

That really wasn’t my intention, I actually hate confrontation! I just lay in bed last night feeling completely and utterly at the end of my tether, surpressing a scream in the dark. A poster yesterday described the feeling well - like a twitch (but she put it more eloquently!).

Enough of saying 'schools should re-open' with no regard to the safety of education staff (plus they're not actually closed anyway). It's as if education staff are automatons, dispensable.
As for the way nursery staff have been treated, my heart goes out to them Thanks

Enough of dog walkers thinking they're the only ones entitled to walk.
Teachernamechange · 17/02/2021 11:52

@EffIt that advert was on yesterday. I haven't seen it for a long while.
The has always amused me because years ago when I had an ongoing cough (more than 4 weeks) it got so bad that it developed into pneumonia, pleurisy and a cracked rib. I always wondered the point of the advert when it was a fight to be seen by a doctor.

Blondiney · 17/02/2021 11:52

Enough of dog walkers thinking they're the only ones entitled to walk.

Difference is the dog walkers will still be there long after you and your wretched coffee cups have gone back to the shops/bars/gyms.

Enjoy your walk. And your coffee.

Teachernamechange · 17/02/2021 11:54

Enough of ordering online and the dead highstreet / marketplaces.

Bring back the range of shops we had in the 90s!

frumpety · 17/02/2021 11:56

Just for you @Pebbledashery Wink

IcedPurple · 17/02/2021 11:58

Enough idiotic New Zealand comparisons.

HappyThursdays · 17/02/2021 11:59

Enough of people jumping a mile in the air when I cough

Enough of dog walkers letting their dog shit on our communal path (I have a dog, I clear up after it, simples!)

Enough of Wayne Lineker on Celebs Go Dating, a man of 58 saying he can only date women in their 20s, like yuk ENOUGH

Enough fucking around with the hospitality industry

Enough of my hair, I have a Pat Sharp mullet thanks to missing 2 hairdresser appointments as lockdown got imposed

Enough of my work clothes, I might as well burn them all now as my waist size has miraculously expanded in the last year

Elliefants · 17/02/2021 12:01

Enough of people moaning on MN.
Enough of posters declaring they are breaking rules.
Enough of them then saying 'Enough' as if their own behaviour wasn't part of the problem.

Get a grip. Everyone's fed up but it's no good moaning.
Won't change a thing.

DameFanny · 17/02/2021 12:01

Just a quick Google in my car before i head into the supermarket @fromdownwest

The Welsh government aren't being given enough money to fund their NHS properly - unless you think they should take the money from somewhere else - education maybe? The money doesn't go all the way round

www.health.org.uk/publications/reports/the-path-to-sustainability#:~:text=The%20NHS%20in%20Wales%20must,funding%20gap%20by%202019%2F20.&text=The%20report%20suggests%20that%2C%20from,there%20is%20continued%20efficiency%20growth.

ENOUGH.
ENOUGH.
Beccatheboo · 17/02/2021 12:02

@ HappyThursdays - yes, enough exponential expansion of my waistline too!

Enough of people telling others how to feel, behave and that their feelings don't matter
splishsplashsploshs · 17/02/2021 12:06

Enough of people thinking they don't have to follow the Covid restrictions. Nobody is entitled to decide that they are above the law and if we object (and I do) then we need to do so through the proper channels and not just decide to ignore them.

AfternoonToffee · 17/02/2021 12:06

Enough of teams and zoom.

Enough of not being able to do my job properly knowing that in not doing so is risking harm to people.

Enough of it not being acknowledged that in protecting people from the risk of covid we leave them at risk of other things.

CountessFrog · 17/02/2021 12:11

Enough of pretending schools aren’t closed.

If they aren’t closed, why have so many children been at home? Being technically open to some children but closed to most = technically closed but open for childcare

MargosKaftan · 17/02/2021 12:12

Enough of mud

CountessFrog · 17/02/2021 12:14

Oh yes, mud. Definitely

Elliefants · 17/02/2021 12:14

Enough of people telling others how to feel, behave and that their feelings don't matter

@Tiktokersmiracle And enough of other posters telling everyone they are fed up and by implication ought to join them in their misery.

MargosKaftan · 17/02/2021 12:16

Enough of mask spots (at least I'm not in work this week and my face can recover)
