Social distancing.

[tofo]

Went to Morrison’s this morning
fed up with people getting too close
and barging in so I developed a pretend cough
then got my hake out to cough in
funny how people move away a little

and me cough cleared till next Thursdays visit

It was not my morning this morning, for keeping our social distance!

we were in a farm shop earlier this morning to pick up a few items mainly veg and a few of their lovely sausages and free range stuff..

anyway to the points:-

There we were trying to keep ourselves to ourselves without going OTT or getting too paranoid.

we were briefly stood outside the shop when i was suddenly aware that there was a heavy grey mist around us we were stood in our own little grey cloud....
I looked around, straight at a guy stood about 3 feet away "Vaping" and blowing his exhaled vapor all over us. Now that is bad enough when there is no risk of a virus, but under current circumstances!!!! he got the evil Eye ?!!! and he retreated quickly. we were effectively breathing in his exhaled vapor.

Then we were collecting a few unpackaged vegetables, when i noticed a young women next too us walking along the baskets of veg picking up loose veg and other items and putting them back in their baskets.
No issue there i hear you say that normal..?
well normally i would not have taken a second glance!! but;;;; in between picking up each item she kept sucking her fingers, literally putting 2 / 3 fingers into here mouth not just touching her lips. Then picking up another item before returning it too its basket and doing the same time after time.?

It was that pronounced that a number of people seemed to be noticing it.

with all the hype and guidance about hygiene and social distancing you would think that we would all be more aware of our surroundings and the people around us.


clearly these 2 individuals have a long way to go to contemplate the very idea of social distancing..

or perhaps i am just getting crotchety as well as getting old.

i have a DIL like that complete morron

I was like that walking dog today, man walking on pavement towards me, but it's ok he is the other side of road, then as I got closer, he crosses the road, on bloody purpose, just so he can infect me. No I'm not taking the seriously.

We are breathing in everyones exhaled vapour all the time, it’s just in this case you could see it. How far was it spreading?

we were stood about 3 feet away from him with a wall to one side of us, so there was shelter from any breeze. I reckon it created a cloud about 6 / 8 feet diameter that completely engulfed us for what felt like a life time. but was probably only several seconds before it drifted and dispersed.

The worrying thing is it was long enough for me to identify that it was strawberry flavoured..... so i clearly vaped !!!!!

Proof that smokers are anti social even after they cease smoking.

I am giving up exposing myself for 5 days.
Well at least Ill try.

That's very indecent of you

It's amazing how slow some folk are to cotton on to the need for social distancing.
For instance, I was speaking to the president of Benquerença (mayor) and at the end of our discussion he stuck out his hand to shake mine! ?
I quickly offered my elbow for a bump which he did, but it just goes to show, even the man in charge of a village in Portugal is a bit clueless.

Probably habit..BUSBY.

well that could have been two assasinations you might have got away with.
i am amazed at all of the professional shown on tv not distancing

I am social distancing, due to diabetes and a couple of people have already died at local hospital, London is also suffering worse than other areas, but it's hard telling my children to keep away which means not seeing grandchildren.

my grandaughter does not require any encouragement from us to social distance.

 

[pelican]

Unfortunately....... TRUE!!

the guy with the vaping was an auto reaction and he got a stern " cumon MATE!" and he put his hand up and walked away.

but the young lady just got away with it . I know i probably should have "politely" pointed it out to her, but how do you tell someone you have concern about their personal hygiene in public!!

perhaps I should have brought it to the attention of the staff.

i would have immediately left the store only one life.
