You know my methods
|
So im at the auction - yes its a big high ceiling barn of a place with big open
doors to outside and to a parking lot - no heating, wind whipping thru. SO we all have to stand on designated spots 2m apart and the auctioneer goes thru the rules at the start each week..dont follow the porter as he holds up the lots, stay on your marker, if your lot is not for a while wait outside etc Yet after like 10 mins i have people walking around standing next to me , trying to peer at lots behind me, talking loud with marks half off. Groups of people outside all within 0.5m apart masks off smoking and laughing loudly, talking close, coughing. People wandering around in close proximity to each other invading their space, noses bare. DO these people not watch the news? No wonder infection rates are high when people ( and it was mostly men in their 60s and 70s ) seem to not know we are in a pandemic. I was dodging around, rolling my eyes, shaking my head and moving as twats were like stopping right in front of me talking etc unbelievable, i was livid.

Don't blame you LT.
My pet peeve at the moment is masks. People either don't wear them at all or leave their noses uncovered. For fooks sake. X

But they might have all been sticking tightly to the rules and only coming out for the auction with other trusted people.. so how can they catch it? |

You should know by now what auctions are like.
People always want to get a second look at a lot. Only way to minimise the risk is not mix with anyone. |

Can I ask what you do when you bid on something LT?
Are you a rolled up newspaper wafter? |

Show other bidders you are there and if you want something you will go big. Last edited by thesheriff443; 08-10-2020 at 07:55 PM. |

I reckon I'd be a pointed finger and a wink type..or just panic at the stress of it all and go for a fag. Ir maybe bid on everything and just bolt at the end happy to have had a good day out.

They got your details and they will chase you, if the auctioneer don’t know you he may ask you for a deposit before the auction or after you have won the lot.

What happens if someone trips and falls over LTs or your discarded whiskey miniatures and knocks an expensive vase over? |

How closely were you followed as you browsed past them before the auction? Did you feel profiled at any point.. |

Wouldn’t make a difference how far apart you are if you’re all touching the same door handle to enter and exit. Don’t go to social settings if you don’t want to catch the virus

Well that "should" be a load of ****e... Cause surely the actual auction of the item dictates its price. Seems like a very judgy world to be in to me. |

But if your handbag was sticking out from a chair and I got my heels trapped in the red strap and fell into an object...let's say LT's treasured whiskey minatures for arguments sake. Sending them tumbling to the concrete floor of the big airy spacious high ceilings barn that we are on about... what;would happen then? Apart from LT on all fours sooking like theres no tomorrow. |

My personal rant is about queuing...there is a sticker on the floor,...bloody stand on it or behind it if you want more distance...not a few feet in front of it and arrows on a pedestrian street...one side is up...one is down...how difficult is it to follow...very it seems

That’s what hand sanitiser is for? Use it before you touch the handle

than work from home, via skype or facetime
but otherwise if you can't work from home, as long as you yourself wear a mask, it's ok, and don't worry about others around you (they also have that choice for themselves to make, wearing a mask or not)
