Went out for dinner last night for Mrs Boo's birthday.
Had to wear a mask on entry until we were seated with the other couple we were out with - about 10 feet from the door. Then could sit there sans mask for as long as we liked, until we walked the 10 feet back to the door, whereupon being outside we could immediate remove them.
Queensland!
It was worse during the previous 3-day absolutely essential lockdown when we had to wear masks outside at all times, including while driving (what the actual f????) and even while running/exercising. What was scary was the number of people who not only complied but who were straight out Gestapo towards people exercising their common sense. My girlfriend and I went out running the first morning. We had masks around our necks but were farked of we were going to run with them on. The number of rude looks and comments was pretty incredible. Thankfully the police didn’t seem to care. I refused to wear a mask while driving and drove past several cop cars. No issue. But the cops in my area were pretty chilled, even during the initial lockdown last year.

@rancid-schnitzel Bloomfield was questioned about people out running without masks at a presser during Level 4 a year ago.
if you can run and breathe - you haven't got COVIDwas his take on it.
I always chuckle when I see car drivers wearing masks even when they are their car's sole occupant. Good thinking - minimise the risk of infecting yourself!

Apart from the odd Poindexter, police In Qld don't give a shit. If we have to be seen to be doing our job we may ask you to put on a mask. It would take a massive attitude fail for you to be fined.
Yeah the previous lockdown was a joke with the mask rules. At least the masks in cars and while exercising mandate has been relaxed.

Stuff like routers and wifi repeaters festooned with blinking LEDs which make a room look like Santa's fucking grotto.
Look you fluffybunnies, I don't need a bright green flashing light to know there's data packets flowing into a RJ45 port, I really fucking don't.

@crazy-horse You're a cop aren't you? You still working? Even if you aren't, put on a uniform from the local male stripper joint (Christchurch will be full of them) and drag the fucker off in a paddy wagon.
Word to the wise, before you put on that male stripper police outfit, check for any 'outlets' at the back. Wouldn't want to pick up a stray airborne virus.

Can I be any grumpier? Could the Oz government be even more feked with this so-called vaccine rollout than it is now? Australia will get to the stage when it relaxes int flights no one will let the Aussies in because the vaccination was so late. Even the GPs are actively grumbling.

Gee I wish I had your problems. The sheer stress of it all.
