There are those people who are meticulous about abiding by the social-distancing rules and those who feel these kinds of restrictions really don't apply to them.
Who hasn't been in the supermarket and witnesses shopper creep?
Shopper creep is when someone stands behind you in the queue waiting to go though the checkout and they slowly start moving towards you until you're forced to ask them to stop or even step back.
Recently I witnesses an elderly woman ask a fellow shopper to move away from her only to be told `I don't believe in all of this'.
Undoubtedly this rule breaker thinks her behaviour is reasonable and social-distancing amounts to `over kill'.
There's no denying that it's terrible to have to be vigilant about personal space when shopping, it can also be very uncomfortable to ask people to move away from you, but that's what we have to do.
This is about saving lives, and there is no real choice but to abide by the rules and laws.
This will not last forever so let's follow the rules for the sake of our elderly neighbours, our friends, our family and ourselves.
