I'm not sure

This morning I watched a guy park the car share vehicle in a no parking zone. He and his girlfriend got out. They were dressed in running gear and shorts and they jogged away, down the sidewalk, side by side. I'm not sure if I should condemn them for potentially spreading the virus during the health emergency. Or should I commend them for getting on with their lives. I'm not sure.

I'm outside every day. No shame. We are allowed. In fact Dr. Henry said it's important for your mental health. l keep my distance of course. It would prob do you good to get outside and stop worrying about every person you see.

Why would they drive their car just to go jogging? Doesn't make much sense.

I take it that you think I should commend them.
@anonymous, I didn't ask them. They parked the Evo car and left it blocking the sidewalk.

You're allowed to go running with someone you live with.

No parking? Fuck you.

No outdoor activities? Fuck you.

Badass.

Find Something More Productive to Do

If I were you, I’d take a breather from monitoring others’ activities from your window and find something more productive — and less creepy — to do with your time. In fact, I’d take the lead of the couple you were watching and go for a little jog (it’s still allowed, you know) to clear your head and get the endorphins flowing.

Stunned by how much people apparently love spying endlessly on everyone around them and complaining about their behaviour. What about if we gave each other any basic human regard, assumed folks were doing what they needed to instead of hiding around corners watching hoping we can tell on them. That shit was supposed to die in kindergarten. You know who wants people to spy on their neighbours? ICE, the Trump administration... and apparently you?? Can we not just be rational and polite, follow public health orders without bee-lining for 1984?
