I have found a good fun system to deal with people behind me who won't socially distance when queueing for the till.
I simply turn round, look them in the eye and ask "Sorry, would you like to go first?"
It's particularly amusing when they've got a trolley full, I've got one item and they say, "Yes".
Always worth the longer wait to hear the tuts from other shoppers!

"I just start to fake cough. Ppl back off!"
I know what you mean, but that was made an arrestable offence. So far, asking someone if they want to go first does not carry any risk of spending the night in a cell! |

I'm confused. Why would other shoppers tut if you let the person behind you go first? Their wait will be the same  |

Yes I read that. You also said 'Always worth the longer wait to hear the tuts from other shoppers!'
So why are other shoppers tutting when their wait is exactly the same? |

Fairly sure they arent knicking people for coughing now |

Yeah pretty sure that was for people who intentionally cough in people's faces knowing that they are infected.
A random cough under a mask isn't arrestable. |

PDI 12-26th Nov 24 |
We were in the queue for b&q checkout recently and I had a 3m long piece of wood.
I could feel breath on the back of my neck so I turned round to see two people about one pace behind me.
As I turned back to face the checkout the piece of wood caught one of them square on tbe side of the face.
He stepped back 2 meters and I didn't have to open my mouth. |

You can do two things.. Depending on how close someone is..
If they are too close behind just throw back your arm and make light contact.. Whilst at same time apologising for not knowing they were there..
Secondly and most effective.. Pretend to sneeze and cough a little bit whilst facing them
Generally get the message that way  |

used to employ the same tactic when we were doing fun stuff in fetish clubs and the vanillas got too close, 4' snake whip plus arms length, double for distance to the cross, crack it on the floor or in the air, instant social distancing, maybe I should take one of my whips to Tesco

Have done this exact same thing in clubs before  it's amazing how fast you suddenly have plenty of space around you when they realise it's going to smart if they continue to stand that close to the bitey end of the whip |

I'd just be direct and request them to do what I wanted, to back away. Aren't trolleys about 1 metre? They can't be too far off 2m, surely? It's probably only going to be valid if you have a measuring tool, to demonstrate 2m. |

I'm confused by this too.
Also baffled by why you think it's amusing to queue longer than necessary. If you did this with everyone who stood behind you, you would never get to the front of the queue. |

A deliberate cough or spit IN someone’s face is an offence. If they start arresting everyone who coughs or sneezes those cells are gonna be pretty full! |

Coz the other shoppers generally make eye contact with me and sometimes make comments about the selfish twit with a trolley full who thinks they should be in front of me. (Yeah, it's getting complicated, but in real life it all falls into place. I'll shut up now,) |

It's also a great conversation starter with strangers in a supermarket queue. |

Why not just ask them to keep their distance? Why all the mind games? Aren't you brave enough to simple say 'do you mind giving me some space and keeping distance please' it's quite simple |

Remember when all this covid kicked off there was a bloke who got stopped by police and then kicked off told, told them he had corona and then coughed in their faces on purpose. He got arrested. |

I'm pretty sure spitting was already possible to prosecute as unlawful violence. It's not a leap to coughing, in context. |
