Men pushing in in queues and not social distancing.

[HeIenaDove]

I know in the scheme of things this is only small but its the bloody entitlement that gets to me.

When the new Coronavirus Bill came in last Thursday two men used the 2 m gap to try to push in front while i was queuing outside Tesco.

Re, social distancing , i try i really try to stay 2m from people at all times on the rare occasions but the amount of men who walk right next to me or towards me KNOWING that i will move.

This afternoon was the final straw Queuing outside Sainsburys observing the 2 m rule i had to wait until the queue moved to where the trolleys were . There was no way i could get to them BEFORE queuing and observe the 2m rule so i had to wait in the queue before i got to them. I leant across to put my pound in the slot and the FOUR men queuing behind me jumped the queue by moving along in front.

Im so fed up with the entitlement Every time its been a man EVERY TIME. Ive not seen this from women at all .

Other than being cold all the time my strongest memory of school was when my friend tried to dye her own hair and dyed her forehead too, so she walked around looking like she was part Smurf for a week or two.

Stamp foot, fold arms, grumpy grumpy grumpy.

Double lol bantz

One of my friends had a perm so bad, it looked like she had a toupee made of pubes on top of her head.

I certainly never high-fived anyone. I don't actually think it was a thing, to be honest.

Sounds more like those made up American high schools to me.

Datun Me neither.
There was a film wasnt there called 'mean girls' ?
I haven't seen it.

🤣🤣

(Although to be fair, so did I..)

We also cut each others fringes sometimes. Pro tip - don't do that.

I really dislike Morris Dancing but I don't go on Morris dancing forums and tell them they're all doing it wrong.

Don't get me started - the "choreography" is so last century and those bells...someone's gotta tellum. Where is this forum?

.someone's gotta tellum. Where is this forum?

I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you with bells, and a crisp white hanky.

And a hey nonny no...

Mean Girls is one of my favourite films and I recommend it. The excellent Tina Fey wrote the screenplay and plays a great part in it. Any 30rock fans?

.. kill you with bells..

Thought you meant whisky for a second!

That would be more effective.

It's not the nicest whisky but that's a bit harsh!

And also less cruel. Nobody deserves death by Morris costume.

I avoided threatening HorseRadishFemish with one of those broom stick things that they tap together.

"they", being Morris Dancers.

Symbolic, innit?

(Knows nothing about Morris dancing that doesn't come via Terry Pratchett.)

Crikey, was everybody's girls' school a hotbed of mean girls, cool girls, ostracisation and gangs?

Didn’t go to a girls school

At my school a boy held a lit cigarette up to my eye and he and his friends held a boy by his ankles over two flights of stairs

The second Instance was bullying behavior

I liked my school...I thought it was a nice one right up until i told my children Those two stories last week, and oh my goodness their faces

I still think it was a nice school

I had fun there

I went to a girls school and though there was some bullying none of it was potentially life threatening in the dangling someone over a staircase sense. But hey, girls are worse, obviously.

Loved the Sweet Valley High books as a young teen. Looking back now they were terrible. Formulaic and no diversity in them at all.

Did you got to Grange Hill Rufus?

I've never read Sweet Valley High.

Did you got to Grange Hill Rufus

No

And thats the thing...it wasn’t the roughest school in the town...it was one of the best, still had its moments i guess

Oh I see. You're one of those who think that only physical bullying counts as bullying - a sticks and stones type right?

Bullying is bullying, regardless of the form that it takes

there was some bullying none of it was potentially life threatening

Which part of ‘there was some bullying’ are you struggling to understand
