[quote:Anonymous Coward 77983873:MV80NTkyNDE4XzgzNjE4ODM4X0E1REU0OUYz] [quote:GA Girl:MV80NTkyNDE4XzgzNjE2NzE2XzlCRDMzNjc4] We like the excuse to be lazy. Some people wanted to do Secret Santa at work. I told them, "Bah Humbug, no, not interested" in my return response. Seems I'm not the only one. I thought, I have been cooped up for months not doing anything but going to work, coming home, and rushing through the grocery store. No shopping at all except on-line for clothes/shoes, birthdays, household items... I thought to myself, do I really want to drive all the way to either Walmart 45 min away or Gainesville (1+ hour away) just to get some cheap little Secret Santa gifts along with the cards and wrapping paper and all that goes with it? Nope. I would have jumped at the chance any other year, but COVID has made me lazy and selfish. [/quote] You live somewhere near me. I am west of GV - [/quote]

I’m trying to figure it out.
I’ve seen it first-hand with several family members on family text. They seem downright
excited
with the new restrictions placed locally, as mild as they are compared to other places. That’s the only way I can describe it accurately - there’s real energy and excitement about the new restrictions, like they can now become more fully part of the pandemic movie they’re playing in their heads.
To be clear, this isn’t about my family members. I’m using them as first-hand experience with how the minds work of those who are compliant. It’s disturbing. It’s like street theatre and they can’t wait to participate.
I’m interested in hearing what others’ experiences are with those all on-board with restrictions, and what you think is their motivation behind it. So many people are acting in ways I never thought the majority in society would act like.
