No darling, buzzy bees don't eat toy pigs'

“I bet all those nutters who built doomsday bunkers in their gardens are so smug right now”

ScrapThatThen · 31/03/2020 19:43

Oh, let's avoid walking past that police car during Lockdown (they were blocking a small road while questioning a driver).

Asgoodas · 31/03/2020 19:44

Of course I'll volunteer to teach during the Easter holidays Smile

Lordfrontpaw · 31/03/2020 19:44

Keep walking... where’s the shopping bag? (past the police eyeballing everyone on the park)

DobbyTheHouseElk · 31/03/2020 19:45

Can you water down the milk, we don’t have much left.

"Highly likely you'll be redundant next month but I've just spent £20 on hand sanitiser"

OnTheMoors · 31/03/2020 19:45

no you can't pop to Asda - to DH (for groceries that are not essential)

Broooooom · 31/03/2020 19:45

Sorry, pasta bake is a rare delicacy

Roselilly36 · 31/03/2020 19:47

Put the crusts in the freezer.

“I’m so happy; they had eggs AND paracetamol in Sainsbury’s today!”

Blingismything · 31/03/2020 19:49

There are loads of chihuahuas coming out of the woodwork.

LimeJellyforBrains · 31/03/2020 19:49

"They've got frozen peas!!"

CaptainMarvelDanvers · 31/03/2020 19:49

You’ve been to the shop twice today?

Blingismything · 31/03/2020 19:50

'You can phone me anytime I'm not going anywhere'

HerRoyalNotness · 31/03/2020 19:50

My neighbour

“There is a big black caterpillar on your outside window, as big as a cat”

Later when I saw her in the garden she pointed it out. Oh that’s just black duct tape we used to tape up the smashed window. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Imissthebeach · 31/03/2020 19:51

watching my children fuck about on their bikes

Me: Be careful please and don’t fall off. A&E is closed. No really - it IS closed this time, I swear.

And my A&E Doctor friend saying across the road “yes.....and I can’t work from home! Although they’d like to see me try”

Both funny and surreal at the same time!

Blingismything · 31/03/2020 19:52

I told a lady walking her poodle that 'I don't usually lurk in alleyways' as I had to press myself into the hedge in the widest part whilst she tentatively approached from the narrowest part.

Toddlerteaplease · 31/03/2020 19:53

I'm out for my Boris walk.

Lifeaback · 31/03/2020 19:55

(On the phone to my mum) ‘I’m just queuing to get into the co-op’

buttcrackmcheese · 31/03/2020 19:55

Not corona related completely, but I'm going so crazy after almost 14 days in isolation that when my daughter tutted as I knocked the dog off from humping me I said "I'M SORRY I DONT WANT THE DOGS PENIS NEAR MY BUM!!!!" 😩 will 100% be repeated to grandparents at soonest opportunity GinGinGin

'The door! That was the door! Someone knocked! Quick! Ooh! Who is it?'

We had a delivery today and when the door knocked we all assembled at the end of the corridor to see from a distance who it was. It's the most exciting thing that's happened for at least a week.

rosea19 · 31/03/2020 19:57

Can you water down the milk in the porridge? We need to make the milk last.

What on earth do I do with a celeriac? (After veg box delivery)

Wineandpyjamas · 31/03/2020 19:57

Walking very very carefully back from the shop and trying not to make any sudden moves as I had precious cargo. Got in the door and held the box of 6 eggs up at DH whilst shouting ‘I found eggs!’

GreenWheat · 31/03/2020 19:58

Me to DH "Look at this, they had meatballs"!
