I wanted to ask the young man behind me in the queue, to move back.

Just this really. He wasn’t right on my heels but pretty close. Given that this age group are the main carriers at the moment, and he wasn’t wearing a mask, I desperately wanted to ask him to social distance a bit more. I didn’t, but I felt very uncomfortable.

Should I have said something? Would you have done?

Overall I was pleasantly surprised how many people were still wearing masks.I did look at those who weren’t, and silently judge them and think how selfish they were. I know some of them would have been exempt for a good reason but a lot of them wouldn’t be.

Oh dear god everyone’s hard as nails now on mumsnet 🤣🤣🤣 and you were the one spouting that people are delusional?

It's that stuff they've been pumping into the whole country, has turned everyone into Bruce Lee. 🥋

@Chillychangchoo
I did not say I am hard as nails. Saying I can handle myself means that I am able to defend myself if needed. Fortunately, I have not been in a position where I have had to do so.

Look up the definition of delusional as there is nothing delusional about what I said.
The current situation is definitely not funny.

For the record - I’ve politely asked several people to back up away from me when queuing since the first lockdown. No drama has ensued yet. I can handle myself but have started a martial art, because I can see what’s coming. Society is a mess right now.
Looooooool
