Covid respectfulness

You do realise the second statement overrides the first.
A translation would be…
I like to think I respect social distancing, but my time is more important than other people’s health, so if someone is in my way at the supermarket- fc uk em!!

 

Apologies, maybe I worded it badly. The situations I'm referring to are ones we all find ourselves in. When in the supermarket social distancing can sometimes be impossible. I like to think I'm a gent, and respectful of others' space etc, so I will often let someone go before me. But sometimes they hesitate, I hesitate, and more often than not we will both have that awkward chuckle.. 'sorry..' 'thank you..' etc, you know, basic manners. But sometimes I will be caught in the glare of a petrified person, that I have actually tried to get out of the way of. It just catches me by surprise that's all, and it's a shame as there's really no need. Sometimes it's not in the gouda aisle, I can just be wandering at a safe distance and someone will still have that look, not just at me but at everyone they come across. It's worrying.

 

Glass works one? We was but the way I’d walked i assumed the rear opening from the glass works would’ve be open so I could then get to the lifts at the side of Next, however the entrance was closed forcing me to gain access to the Alhambra via the car park lifts........getting out of the other car park was another F@&K up

 

Yeah you people with health issues stay at home. Thatcher really did win. People have so little care or compassion as you ably demonstrate

 

I don’t recall having been in a lift that wasn’t marked up with revised guidance for capacity - and I’ve not been in a lift with anyone other than my wife since March last year.

 

Maybe their loved one died of Covid and despite trying to go on and live a normal life, certain situations frighten them? Or maybe it's easier to assume they're just being entirely irrational?

 

C0V1D i5nt DAnger0us, 0pen the Sh0pz and Set uZ frEE!

N0t yoU, yOU staY at H0me!!

 

What goes on indoors. Stays indoors.

 

Maybe they did, or maybe nothing has happened to them and they are paralysed by fear. Either way, don't think you can assume that I assume they are being 'entirely irrational.' And as with Donny-Red, with his 'my time is more important.. f*ck em!' comment, you are both making huge assumptions on my character and it couldn't be further from the truth. And it's wrong, so I'd ask you both to stop with that approach.

 

I haven't been in a lift for about 5 years now, stairway evert time.

 

We’re currently staying on the 4th floor and the temp doesn’t get below 27 (at midnight), mid 30’s during the daytime.

 

I'm only replying to what you've said.

I'd ask you to stop with that approach.

 

The only time I’m aware anyone would be ‘paralysed by fear’ is from the members of this site who frankly have questionable levels of emotional intelligence.

its an utter nonsense, and you’re doing your defence no credit when you repeat it.

For context - I’ve never felt the need to lean across someone in a supermarket even pre covid.

And anyone leaning across me deserves tw@ting - and again, that has nothing to do with paranoia, just respect for other people’s personal space.

 

He did say that he wasn't talking about literally leaning over people didn't he?

 

So someone deserves twating for daring to enter your 2m airspace bubble??? Jesus Christ........what the hell has happened to this world????

 

Who said anything about a 2m bubble?

 

I don't want to get into a petty squabble but to clarify I never said I leaned over anyone..I said I had to squeeze past someone, as they had to squeeze past me. It was a compact aisle and people couldnt socially distance properly without first having to pass each other. It happens.

 

Thall build a reight thirst up then

 

Let’s not get pedantic about things, you was inferring about your personal space, was you not?

 

No, he didn’t. He apologetically described his view of the situation but didn’t specifically retract his ‘leaning over’ and doubled down on his view of the people he upset.
And you spent the first couple of months of the pandemic shouting that everyone should socially distance by default because people have always died of flu.
But it seems now you’ve picked a ‘side’ and that dictates that some of us are bound to be ‘wrong’

edit - so after your post he did clarify, but that was hours after the post you quoted above.
