One sad thing is that, after all that we have gone through since the pandemic started, you'd at least expect us to have picked up some better habits - and yet most of us haven't. Shops have slipped back into the same old sloppy hygiene standards as before. Loads of people still cough and sneeze into the open air as if tissues were some rare commodity not to be wasted on mere snot. Public transport is just as insalubrious an experience as it was three years ago. I don't care if someone thinks they're invulnerable; I do care when they assume everyone else is.
In fact, the degree of basic, prosaic, moronic behaviour is higher than ever. Yesterday evening, the rain was pouring down, and hardly anyone I saw was using an umbrella. That always mystifies me. Maybe I'm quaint, but I don't get why anyone would fancy arriving somewhere on a Friday night already soaked to the skin. Do they feel it's some weird quasi-asian loss of face to be forced by the elements to put up an umbrella? I don't get it. And all next week they'll be back in the office, moaning that they have a cold, as they cough repeatedly a few inches from your face. Thanks, morons.
Umbrellas are pointless they break or snap in the wind, awkward to hold when you have shopping to carry.
You really are quite the blinkered boor.
Meow, to you duckie. |

I agree. I cant understand why a society that tip toes around desperately trying not to offend people by using "inappropriate" (  ) words or heaven forbid, not include them,( ) thinks it is perfectly ok to gob their potentially fatal germs all over someone.
The reason I hardly ever use an umbrella is because I enjoy all weather and I don't mind getting wet in the slightest.  |

I still see old surgical masks on the ground or in hedges. I have always carried sanitiser gel even before the plan-demic. I don't get why people don't carry handkerchiefs they are cheaper in the long run than tissues. |
