Dozy on the phone walking in a straight line. Another thicko crossed the road to walk towards another pedestrian who then had to walk out on to the road to avoid her. The two idiot couple who looked as if they had only discovered this street and were busy looking at all the houses as they passed by, two abreast, not even aware of people coming toward them. The Family Unit....taking up at least 20 yds of the footpath.....3 kids on bikes....dog on long lead and Mom and Dad oblivious of anyone else (I don't blame the kids). The joggers are unbelieveable.....although there has been an improvement I notice, many are running in to the middle of the road....but some are just as bad as always. I would like to see a ban on jogging on footpaths but I would like to see parks opening up so they can run there.
But what is causing this thick, selfish, unaware behaviour? Are these the people who arrive at the checkout of the supermarket and only after the cashier has asked for payment that they start searching through handbags, pockets etc looking for cash or card? Standing in the security queue at Dublin Airport, watching everybody taking of their coat and belt and then have to be asked by the security to take off their coat and belt...Waiting at the traffic lights for the lights to turn green and then and only then put on their indicator as they drive forward...I have been out in the local area at least once each day, whether walking the dog or the occasional run. My experience is that social distancing is something many people think others need to do. I rarely see someone moving to distance from me, before I have moved to distance myself from them.

I can honestly say that at least 60% of pedestrians were happy to walk along the footpath brushing against each other.
Why are they so inconsiderate and reckless?
What do people not understand about the two metre rule?
I've adopted the policy of not making an effort if the other people aren't making an effort. Particularly if they are oldThey're probably telling a similar story about the pedestrians who took up the entire footpath and forced them to (illegally) run on the road
If you encounter her again, I'd suggest a vigorous coughing fit as she approaches. She'll give you a wide berth!Both myself and my wife were walking along George's Avenue toward Blackrock village this morning. The path is a two person wide path. In places it can be only one person wide because of hedging growing out on to the footpath.
We heard a noise coming behind us. There was a jogger running along the footpath toward us at speed. Brushed past us, touching us. I got a fright and shouted "could you not have run around us on the road". The young female jogger looked back with a smirk on her face. I am not a violent person but I saw red.

So why are we asked to keep two metres from other people when outdoors?Little to no chance of catching it outdoors.
It can be tempting. However I would not be prepared to take a chance on catching something....just to prove a point.I've adopted the policy of not making an effort if the other people aren't making an effort. Particularly if they are old
The rules were brought in when the WHO thought the virus was more than 20 times as deadly as it actually is. Expect a row-back of many of the restrictions over the coming weeks as people realise that it's not that dangerous and that it's going to be around for years.So why are we asked to keep two metres from other people when outdoors?
If you don't have a pre-existing condition then you're almost certain to recover, regardless of age. In fact if you are under 45 and fit the chances are you won't even know you have it.It can be tempting.

So in your determination to prove a point, particularly against old people...and because you are healthy..... if they don't make any effort neither will you.
Yes, that about sums it up.So in your determination to prove a point, particularly against old people...and because you are healthy..... if they don't make any effort neither will you.
