Yesterday, at the supermarket, I needed something from half-way down an aisle. There was only one other woman shopper in the aisle, so I parked my cart at the end of the aisle and walked down to get the product. She POUNCED, pointed to the arrow not the floor and, in her perfect scolding busybody manner, sternly said "You are going the wrong way."

I was dumbfounded. I glared at her and said "Yes, I am." She gave me a death-stare from above her mask. A minute later I heard some store employee saying "Sir! Sir? Sir!" and I ignored it. I figured the snitch turned me into the store Gestapo.

At the store entrance, they have stationed young employees to make sure that not too many people get into the store and that everybody gets a spritz of some sanitizer on their hands before entering. The young woman spritzing yesterday was very nice and said "Have a nice shopping day."

The one-way aisles and arrows on the floors have to be the most stupid things I've ever seen.

Not yet, but why is “busybody” spelled with a “y” and “business” with an “i”? English is a crazy language.

I haven’t.

One of my family members has. His wife’s mask slipped down off her nose in a supermarket and some busybody ran over to yammer at her about it. He told the busybody to mind his own business and the busybody started spewing “F.U.”s. They nearly came to blows.

Yesterday I was at a supermarket near me, and it also has aisles designated as one-way. I was at the wrong end of the aisle, but what I wanted in that aisle was much nearer to where I was than if I’d gone around to the other end. There was no one else in the aisle, so I took a chance and went in from the “wrong” way. I half-expected to be pounced on, but fortunately nothing happened.

Learn to moonwalk backwards to pick up that isolated can of ravioli halfway down the aisle!

I live in Karenland ...so many snitches and watchers.
Last week someone called the police because 12 ( BUT YOU CAN ONLY HAVE 10!) USNA mids were having a socially distant backyard graduation party,

The narcs are out there for sure. My husband went to costco today, defied the mask rule, but no one at the store said a word. Then some old man came to chastise him but he told the guy this is a hyped up scam and we’re being lied to. The old man turned around and walked off! LOL

Two other women asked him why he wasn’t wearing his mask and he said because he didn’t want to. They said they thought it was a rule; he said ‘guess not’. They both took theirs off!! LOL

Just got back from Lowes ... about one third of the customers are wearing the stupid masks. I asked a store employee how they liked the masks ... he said I hate them. The store requires them to wear them. He also said that they don’t wear them out of the customers view. One might as well wear a bennie cap with a propeller on the top. They are just as effective and don’t look as stupid as the slave wear (masks)

Funny you mention that, I just had a run in (while wearing my “Trump is not a Racist” Crowder Tee) 20 minutes ago, she walked up to a cart, the girl at the entrance said she has just sanitized the carts. The lady in a stern voice said to her “I dont care if you did it, I have to do it” and walked to the sanitizer cloths where I was standing and told me to get back and sicial dustance. I simply replied in a normal tone of voice “You walked over to me, Karen”, I grabbed my hand basket and continued on.

A Halloween sheep mask would be more appropriate.

The Reich in this country is a lot stronger than I would have imagined. I had a person tell me they wear a mask to “protect you.” To which I replied, “You are not responsible for my health and I refuse to be responsible for yours.” I kept walking.

Does that include weirdos who take advantage of a captive audience waiting in line to get their prescriptions to smear themselves over each of us in turn and get within an inch of people’s faces to tell them what idiots they are for wearing masks??

To me it’s a sheer badge of honor to get the stink-eye for not wearing a mask. I really get a kick out of it.

I also get a kick out of watching people literally flinch if I get closer than 6 from them. Suddenly, it dawns on me, “Oh yeah, that 6 foot thing. Man, they’re serious. Huh.”

Yes, they are all over. Awful, we need to open up to extinguish them.

I have always been amazed by how discourteous or unaware people are with folks around them (ex: blocking isles...). I found myself in a situation where there was only one way out, and it was blocked by someone wearing a mask, I just marched toward her until she decided to, in a panic, move herself and her cart. No words were spoken.

My wife used to be embarrassed to shop with me. She is now amused, and tells the stories to all our friends.

Happy shopping!

We have a bounty system here in Hawaii to hunt down and report tourists not following quarantine laws and staying in their hotel rooms for two weeks.
