I wish I still had the zero fucking traffic (my work never closed)
KiwiGameDev
Weird that lockdown is gone given how the virus totally isn’t but hey
thisisausernamelikeanyothersbutthisonesmellsweird
I fear when them politicians comes back from a long vacation they will lock down again and start up the vaccines towards the newest mutation

Between BA.5 and monkey pox I’m basically back in lockdown

My favorite part is that now I can wear a mask in my hometown so nobody recognizes me and I don't have to chat with the hillbilly fucktards.

I miss the empty roads as I drove to work being an essential worker even though being a sporting goods store manager wasn't really essential
thesmelge
I was a software developer for a bin company. They made us come in to sit in an office and code. Apparently being there was essential.
TubbzMcgee
They shipped every store a pallet of dog food and a case of pliers so we could skirt the rules and open back.

Captain planet got weird.
kurtwoodsmithsayingbitchesleave
I can't tell you how much I miss it. No traffic and no mobs of people anywhere. It was paradise.
oscarjalfaro
Agreed, people are horrible

your nan's cunt is pretty spacious

I had to shelter at home for the whole thing, I only went a little bit mad, and only nearly had a nervous breakdown by the election.

CUNTS!

Wait we are out of lockdown? https://imgur.com/or4V9PX

Lockdown was a pleasant two-year vacation for the introverts among us...
vakler
Exactly what I check my pockets for whenever I go out.
RelartOfGivia
Did you find any?
vakler
Just two hands, one face, some space. Oh and a cunt.
MurphyPandorasLawBox
Cunts?
vakler
Well, in the singular.
bennythered
Popped positive for Covid this morning. Part of me wonders why it took so long, the other part is pissed it finally did.
iwanttogo
My life didn’t change because 96hr work weeks make you too exhausted to leave the house for any other reason, hurray!
rareunicornmeat
I wish the CDC had just said wash, mask and space and kept their mouths shut, none of this 'oh well it's been 10 seconds guess you guys can
rareunicornmeat
lick door knobs again, never mind we take that back, oh wait..' arguing with people to do the basic was hard enough

This deserves more credit and pretty sums up most of the UK

its called stockholm syndrome
Dondarian
I think you need to check your definition again
York13
oh yeah, I bet you long for the good times of Covid! classic side with the abuser. Yeah sure 6 million dead, lives destroyed, but no traffic
Dondarian
Dude, you are off your rocker.
ourari
Because there couldn't have possibly been upsides to it for some people? I loved the quiet, for example. No planes, few cars/people. Bliss.
York13
Every shitty relationship has good parts to it...
bigblindguy
Nah, it was grand when you could do your 1hr commute, now as an essential worker, in 15 minutes. Grand.

Fishkeeper
Might need to go research your own terminology there, bud.
York13
is a condition in where the victim identifies with their captor. Missing the lockdown, covid - bud
LoopStricken
I sure do miss that brief window of human existence where we gave a shit about germ theory.
York13
i believe it was virology, not germ theory.. but you're the expert!
LoopStricken
It's 4am, I request some slack to be cut.
Fishkeeper
Covid isn't a captor. Neither is a lockdown that aims to control a pandemic.
York13
Haha.. wtf ever I'm just going to call this one here. There is a lot of dumb and ego in that above statement
Fishkeeper
Where, exactly, is the ego in "neither the disease Covid-19 or the related lockdowns are conscious entities holding someone captive"?
Fishkeeper
Missing a lack of obligation to interact with others is not Stockholm syndrome. It's missing a lack of obligation to interact with others.
LadyMoto
Some of us had to work through the whole thing, and it F-ing sucked.
thesmelge
The ones that piss me off are the people who had to work through it, but blame the people put on furlough for not working. No, on second 2/
thesmelge
thought, them and the employers who had non-essential staff and still kept them in cramped offices, and blamed them when everyonr got 3/
thesmelge
sick around the same time, because they would rather people get sick or die than trust them to do a job that could easily be at home. 3/3
Schlovia
The hospital never closes. Wish it did sometimes.
LandiniusMaximus
Same here.. forced to be security at a test center in the beginning with no PPE at all..
BobbieNell
I worked from home. While also watching my 3yo and 1yo. There were good points but definitely sucked.
SlidinDownTheLannisters
I too am an essential worker. Even changed jobs throughout and remained an essential worker.
Ispentthelastfewyearsbuildingupanimmunitytoiocanepowder
Yeah? I worked the whole thing too. Aviation edition. BUT I'm starting therapy next month so that's good.
MisterLemons
Work got *busier* as all the morons who got bored found any and every excuse to leave their houses.
rareunicornmeat
my favorite was the WHOLE families coming in to buy stuff for the 'two week' lock down while we were short staff and having to ask people 1/
rareunicornmeat
to wear a mask. I don't think I have to tell you how they felt about that.
underyourbreath
* sucks, present tense. There’s a runny nose/stomach bug going around my work and NO ONE will/can stay the fuck home…

My husband's office was just shut down for a cleaning b/c of a C19 outbreak. Email was sent @11pm. He leaves for work @5am. Found out there.
zeusdemigod131
Wait did he miss the email in the morning or was he hanging out there for 18 hours... probably the first now that I say that out loud
thetaggtn
I definitely don't check work emails when not at work
otiumCatulli
One of the symptoms of covid is someone saying "I'm sure it's not covid"
Shawnthegirl
I quit. I was there during lockdown and for all the uncertainty that followed - they took away our hazard pay and started micro-managing >
Shawnthegirl
weren't promoting within or giving us things they promised. Weren't backing us up about masks. So I apologized to my crew and I quit.
RatBits
This was my experience in a nutshell! Quit Sam's Club for the same reasons, even though I generally liked the job (baker/pizza maker).
bolshevikmuppet
Right? It was always, quit bitching, we can't do anything, it's corporate! Despite the fact we knew they could order anything needed. Dicks.
Shaodyn
Yep. I was "essential" during the pandemic. We once wanted to close the store for a week to deep clean, but were told that was impossible
Shaodyn
because one week of no sales would mean we'd lose so much money the store would never open again and we'd all lose our jobs.
Shaodyn
Very popular fast food place, makes easily thousands a day, can't handle one week of no sales.
waitwuh
Granted covid dies on most surfaces between 4-6 days IIRC.
Shaodyn
And we'd have been helping that along by doing deep cleaning. Sorry, can't do that. We'd go out of business.
SortOfAnEngineerNow
I worked throughout lockdown and so did my housemate who works at the NHS, other housemate was furloughed most of 2020. He managed 1.
SortOfAnEngineerNow
To get in really good shape and not catch the plague so I was happy for him. He works in a high foot traffic customer service role which 2.
SortOfAnEngineerNow
Would have been very hard to stay safe in. I work for a small company with distance so I just felt lucky in that regard. I felt sorry for 3.
SortOfAnEngineerNow
The supermarket workers, people in the hospital, transport workers etc. That had to deal with the dickheads that refused to wear masks 4.
SortOfAnEngineerNow
Or just wash their hands. I still was at work on site but it was very low risk. I was very lucky, some 'essential workers' were put in 5.
