Social distancing is for the benefit of all of us. If you come near me, I might infect you and vice versa.
Yesterday at the supermarket's cashier counter, I was being serviced and the woman behind me was placing her goods on the moving rack unmindful that I was still there. She was just 5 inches away from me, talking with her companion about her trip abroad. Ah so, she was bragging. All right, get this ---- I coughed and coughed and coughed. You can guess what followed next. I'm smart, waheehee.

Irresponsible people who do not cooperate. I hope they get the virus so they will learn.

That happened to me, but this lady and I were kind of stuck in limbo. Such a tight space should I back up or her? Oh that will take to long so just ran by real quick apologizing from a far. Smart move by you though, that is what I call quick thinking.

It was actually not quick, just a product of my annoyance.

Certainly they got scared so they moved away from me.

If I say that to them, for sure they will smirk. At least they gladly moved away.

Yes, coughing is a sure fire way of getting a good amount of space.

They have to learn and coughing is a good way of teaching them.
