Me AT GROCERY STORE:
Why is there plastic on the payment keypad?
Cashier: to protect people from Covid.
Me : but isn’t everyone touching the plastic keypad the same way they would the regular keypad?🤦♀️🤷♀️
Cashier: no words. Confused look. 👀
Me : Why don’t you pack the grocery bags anymore?
Cashier : Because of covid 19. We must reduce the spread of catching or spreading the virus.
Me : But a shelf packer took it out of a box and put on the shelf, a few customers might of picked it up and put back deciding they don’t want it, I put it in my cart then on the conveyer belt, YOU pick it up to scan it.. But putting it in a bag after you scan is risky??
Cashier : no words, confused look 👀
Me AT DRIVE-THRU
Server: (holds a tray out the window with a bag of food for logical friend to grab)
Me: why is my bag of food on a tray?
Server: so I don’t touch your food because of Covid.
Me: didn’t the cook touch my food? Didn’t the person wrapping my food touch it and then touch it again when placing it in my bag? Didn’t you touch the bag and put it on the tray? Didn’t you touch the tray? 🤦♀️🤷♀️
Server: no words. Confused look. 👀
Me in SOCIETY
Society : If you cough or sneeze do it in your elbow or sleeve,
Also society : Don’t shake hands or hug anyone or you will spread the virus..To greet people do an elbow tap instead.
Me : Elbow tap 🤷♀️? Isn’t that where you tell people to sneeze or cough? into their elbow? Now you want people to tap each other with that elbow 🤦♀️
Wouldn’t it be safer to sneeze into elbow and shake hands like we did before Covid ? 🤷♀️
Me AT RESTAURANT:
Hostess: ok, I can seat you at this table right here (4 feet away), but I will need you to wear a mask to the table.
Me: what happens when I get to the table?
Hostess: you can take off the mask.
Me: then it is safe over there?
Hostess: yes.
Me: are those fans blowing above the table? Is that the air-conditioning I feel? Is the air circulating in here?🤦♀️🤷♀️ Hostess: no words. Confused look.👀
SOCIETY : You are not allowed to stand and drink at the pub or pokies –you have to sit down.
But at the shopping center you are not allowed to sit down, all the chairs are roped off.
Who thinks this s*#& up?
Life is hard for logical people right now. We are being raised without the ability to process and execute logic properly.

Yes it is odd isn’t it.
I still get the occasional facebook group posting from progressives here in California. And whenever some new edict comes out of Gavin Newsom’s mouth, who do they blame for that edict?
Why President Trump, of course.
Why do you assume that they are voting for those people?
Especially in places like PRC, the odds are definitely in my favor. Newsom, for example, got over 60% of the vote in his last election.
Probably they can’t – but maybe it makes them think about it?
