Does anyone else find the announcements in the shops and on public transport about wearing your masks really annoying I almost wont to shout out shut up big brother and get a life I was thinking about asking them not to do that not sure if they will all I want to bloody do is go to a shop buy some food and travel from a to b on transport without hearing that propaganda nonsense every time I think most people know the stupid rules by now
Totally agree with you, these needless nannying announcements are extremely patronising and irritating. Every time I go to the supermarket (rarely at the moment) I utter a few expletives when I hear this garbage as I consider it an insult to my (and everyone’s) intelligence. If I never again hear that horrible word COMPLY i will be a happy movie. The only time I will tolerate that word is when i’m watching a Robocop movie, because that’s the dystopian world where that word truly belongs.
Sometimes customers, or staff members will give me funny looks or even say a few words in response to my outbursts but frankly I don’t care, in fact I see it as a badge of honour. It’s better to express yourself verbally than to pick up a drinks bottle and throw it at the tannoy speakers, which I am occasionally tempted to do when I hear this condescending crap blurted out. Maybe the only other solution is to wear earphones and play loud music to block out these insane messages in public places!
curtinj25 - Yes they are annoying. So are the 'keep your distance' signs. There are dozens and dozens of them in our local shopping centre. Very difficult to ignore. I have a 'bloody good rant' everywhere I go. Usually to myself, but fine if anybody else is listening. I very rarely go to the shops or travel on public transport anymore, as I hate looking at the 'masked people'. I know I shouldn't let it bother me, but it does.
They just are keeping you safe......after all you might not stay safe.... you might fall over on the floor laughing.... these signs are fully sensible. Inspect them. !
Really annoying!! One of the things I dislike most is when they 'neglect' to include 'apart from those who are exempt' in the message :(
Talking of masks! This morning I witnessed a mask wearer step off the pavement onto what is a very busy road at the point of an equally bad corner to let a mother and child continue walking not wearing a mask, I despair and don't know whether to laugh or cry!
Laugh TwinkleToes! 😂😅
It's all you can do. Oh, and don't forget to stock up on some more loo rolls, now that Mr Hancock has announced a possible 'circuit breaker' lockdown!
Thanks for the tipoff Grumpy will take your advise and stuff Wancock!
