Stupid woman!

My DD has just returned from Waitrose where a very loud woman using a caricature of a Waitrose customer voice announced to the whole shop that under no circumstances was she going to wear a mask - that it is all ridiculous and she did not see why she should have to.

Now this silly woman is entirely entitled to put herself at risk - but not my DD.

Grrrrrrr!

If DD had been feeling stroppy, she could have replied equally loudly. "Thank you so much, you are very generous to share with us every germ, bacterium and virus you have when they spray out as you tell us that. Are you planning to share anything more useful, like the supplies of hard-to-find items you have been stockpiling?"

She sounds like the kind of woman who has bought up trolleyfuls of the things everyone else needs, because she thinks only of herself, not of anyone else. If she declares that she hasn't, DD can reply that it would be axactly the action of someone too selfish to block any coughs and sneezes - or even loud speech - with a mask.
