Annnnddddd, it’s happened again.

Why have people decided to sit right next to me in a near empty waiting room? And the chairs right next to me? Leave a space damnit!

I do not understand. If this is my superpower, please take it away. 😭🀣

Learn to pass gas at will

People will possibly then learn to distance and mask

Start muttering to yourself I am the angel of mercy, the time of cleansing is coming

Unless they decide to join in with:

Redemption is at hand!

I once took the night ferry to Tassie. Booked the basic low cost seat section. The ENTIRE section was empty except for one other person. and guess where they decided to sit? Unreal.

I actually called him out on it.

Start looking at pictures of rashes on your phone?

Time to get very sick very loudly all of a sudden.

I don't have that issue, I'm fat and people tend to not want to sit next to fat people... I wonder why? /S

(No but seriously it is both freeing and also upsetting. Like yes no one wants to sit next to me, but then also "Jesus Christ no one wants to sit next to me!" Especially during bus replacements.
