Random Irritations

[HomerJSimpson]

Being a selfish infraction is apparently on the list

Clearly. I could sort of understand some people being lazy and using "exemption" as an excuse when masks have been preferred but optional, but now given how prevalent Omicrom now is and the scary increases we've seen today wouldn't you want to take every precaution you can.

Yep all off leads

Wow, that’s ridiculous, and letting other people’s dogs loose is very risky too. Imagine if one takes off, what would the Walker do?

The problem is that, in general, masks are to protect others rather than yourself. Unless you are wearing a FFP3 then the mask you are wearing is primarily there to protect others rather than yourself. People that are looking to use the exemption to avoid wearing a mask are by definition selfish and don't care about those that need protecting.

Obviously the above comment doesn't relate to those that genuinely need to use the exemption but that number is far smaller than those that are using the exemption for their own selfish needs.

Getting rear ended on the way home from work today. Usually work from home but had to go to the office to get another VDI box as mine has gone mammaries up. If it wasn’t for that car would have been sat on the drive. Not too much damage (I hope) but you can never tell with new cars. Could do without the hassle but at least nobody was injured.

The awkward hesitation between 3 drivers who arrive at a mini round about at the same time.

The town I live in has 3 such mini roundabouts in key places. The should we, shouldn't we go can be both amusing and highly frustrating at the same time. I can very much relate to this one

The number of people not wearing masks and claiming exemption. Most don't have any form of recognisable lanyard. I know not all disabilities and illnesses are visible but those I do know who are exempt make sure display the fact with the lanyard

Ah but these people will tell you they don't wear a mask because they're not scared of covid.

As pauljames said, they are just a selfish infraction.

I am asthmatic (and was before TDF riders made it cool), and categorically, a paper mask does not and will affect asthma unless you are in a full-on asthma attack.

Sorry, but anyone with a flowery lanyard claiming asthma needs a slap in the chops.


Add to the irritation, Flowery lanyards full stop. A license for door knobs, to showcase they are door knobs. I reckon (I am no doc) but 99.9% of the population should be able to wear a mask to walk round a shop. If you van walk round a shop without oxygen, you can wear a mask. You can spot them a mile off too normally, lanyard anchors.

I found on the train last weekend that the new version of the flowery lanyard is a bag of crisps. Apparrently you can take your mask off to eat so as long as you have an open bag of crisps on the table in front of you, no need for a mask for the whole 3 hour journey

I'm sure Ethan said last year that pretty much anyone who was genuinely exempt from wearing a mask either shouldn't be out and about or should be wearing a mask because they're vulnerable

If you 'can't' wear a mask shouldn't you have to wear a face shield?

Dealing with insurance companies over the phone. Why do they employ people with the strongest regional accents that are almost impossible to decipher, Specially when they talk at the speed of a machine gun.

Maybe because it's probably illegal to discriminate against potential employees based on where they're from??

Irritated by the space given in the media about people avoiding sensible behaviour and finding reason to avoid guidelines .

Yes, you’re probably correct. But when you have to keep asking them to repeat what they just said over and over again is tedious and they must think that you are deaf, or stupid.

That's one positive of having the bag ?

cancelled a 3 night stay in Milan, down 373 quid. they refuse to give me reward nights, even though me not staying had zero impact as I was not eligible for a refund.

To make it more laughable, they 'as a good will gesture' gave me 75 quid in credit, which technically is worth more than what I was asking for! Absolute idiot on the phone just didn't get what I was on about...

Phoning American Golf and getting charged £2 for it.

Not only was the in shop experience crap but the made cash from me for discussing it as well.
