Sounds like you could do with a fixer.

I'm in a queue for a shop. No big deal - the new normal. However the person behind me doesn't understand personal space, nevermind social distancing. I keep comically stepping away from her, but every time the queue moves again, there she is beside me again.

What is the correct protocol and etiquette for such situations?

Deploying flamethrower seems reasonable.

Politely ask her to move back.

I had one of these last week before I had to lock myself away for two weeks.

Big smelly backstard, I was paying for my stuff and he starts loading up his items right beside me.

Cashier asked him to move back and he snapped at them telling them to fcuk off :eek:

Some people should be just put on a boat and floated out to sea so we don't have to deal with them ever.

It doesn't always work. I got abused when asking someone to keep their distance, but I think it's always best to at least start with the assumption that people will oblige and only afterwards escalate it if they don't.

Turn round and do one of those about to sneeze faces at the same time give em the evil eye.

08-04-2020 01:46PM

Or fart really loudly

tusk · 08-04-2020 02:56PM

Turn around and gaze lovingly into their eyes. even when the queue moves on stay there. stay strong.

if they try to get around you, side step into their way. when they've had enough, sneeze in their face

I cycled to work today and cycled home. Borrowed my dad's bike. Cheating slightly as it has a little motor on it for the really hard bits but still feel I got some exercise out of it.

quickbeam · 08-04-2020 05:03PM

That's a decent ride. Well done!

I’ve started cycling out to the farm since I got laid off. I forgot how sore your arse gets!

quickbeam · 08-04-2020 06:02PM

Oh, a saddle cushion is a must. I got mine in Lidl. Keep an eye out.

fixXxer · 08-04-2020 06:18PM

Yeah the undercarriage gets a bit uncomfortable with all the holes in the road!

Politely say "If it wasn't for covid-19, I would slap you for lack of attention to social distancing"

:D

Well my barber shop opened up a couple of hours ago. Yey

Health & Safety stormed in not long after and closed me down. Seemingly, you don’t chop moles off when you chop hair

Don't really get it, it tells you what to draw, you draw it, then it tells you what you've drawn?

I'm sure I'm missing something.

quickbeam · 16-04-2020 04:45PM

That's basically it, Kol. But you've only 20 seconds per drawing. And it doesn't always get what you're drawing. At least, I'm crap at it, so it doesn't always get what I'm drawing. The artistes among us probably would do better.

sKeith · 16-04-2020 04:46PM

5/6

Mollyb60 · 16-04-2020 04:46PM

Oh I've actually been playing that for ages. I am terrible at drawing! Especially in such a short space of time.
