Or just stay home.

Stay > 6’ away from people if you do need to go out.
People are complete morons.
I'm doing some odd jobs around the house during reduced work hours. I needed some black pipe fittings to rework my gas lines. TWICE, on two separate days I'm at the fittings aisle finding the ones I need and people crowd up on me!!! The first time it was the damn Home Depot employee bringing a customer over. Both times I just walked away and came back when they were gone.

People just aren't getting it.

I have been nicely reminding people if they approach to quickly or inconsiderately. I don't let them get close, be safe.

Next time someone gets close to me at the store I’m just going to start coughing so they’ll back off. It seems like the 6’ spacing continues to get less observed as time passes and people with masks are often the worst offenders.

Every time you post some preachy shit that has nothing to do with this thread and is one step closer to getting this one locked down like you did the other one I'm going to go shake hands with 10 old people.
Since you've apparently decided you are the hall monitor, do you care to inform us of what is/isn't acceptable?

So far, I've seen that Brian spouting bullshit (still!) trying to convince everyone that this is no big deal, is just fine with you.

But talking about the efficacy of masks or post up a funny video (at least to those of us with a sense of humor), is off limits?

Or is it just posts from me that you find so offensive that it hurts your delicate sensibilities and sends you into a case of the vapors?

Chris already did that when he shut the other thread down.

You haven't contributed anything topical to this thread, just your preachy stay at home stuff. And yes, some of the conversations did stray and I also made comments putting it back on track since I was at part responsible for helping stray.

That's a video with Sam Jackson talking about what he's doing at home, and reading a funny poem called "Stay the Fuck at Home"...

Nothing wrong with that. It's what we call a good thing on this planet.

Cheers,

Kennith

I took it for what it was worth. Funny.... get it? Childrens books don't usually include f' bombs.

Are you going to cough on your hands before the shake? Or is is a anti-bacterial shake, you know like the blood brothers hand shake.

Sheesh.
I went for a hike on a local trail and passed way more people on a Tuesday at 3pm than i expected.

Yep. Same here.

I have a dog that really doesn’t like people touching her. She’s actually not mean, just not social. She is painfully loyal and attentive, like a clingy girlfriend. I’m in a city and good lord everyone is out walking, which I can’t blame them.

When I walk her and I see someone coming the other way I always cross the street. Now, it’s almost impossible to avoid people. I feel like I’m Emmit Smith dodging linebackers back and forth across the street trying to avoid people wanting to pet my dog. If they have kids it’s 10 times worse. Social distancing applies to dogs, too.
