30 “Quarantine Habits” People Still Have To This Day

Even before that but yes

To me, the reason this has carried over is that a certain type of person has just either forgotten or never knew how to behave around other people, or have always hated having to behave properly and be respectful of others when in public, and now they feel emboldened in their bad behavior by people who are quite happy to be negative role models and just don’t care to correct that. For way too long we have witnessed so much bad behavior, and didn’t push back but allowed it to become our new normal. Problem is, when you give people like that an inch, they end up taking 100 miles. I don’t want to live like that, and will be pushing back from now on. I hope there are enough other people like me, sick and tired of the bullies and brats and their nastiness, who are at their limit and prepared to push back also. I know I have to be in the majority when it comes to this. It’s the only way we’re going to make it change. We just have to actually do it.

especially if I see a cool place on social media... I automatically know tons of people are going to be there so I instantly say nope!

I didn't need a pandemic for that.

I avoided them before covid. I'm a wheelchair user so all I see is a sea of butt, and my son is on the autism spectrum with a bonus of sensory processing disorder. Keep me and my service dog safe and my son more comfortable

Had already missed my children grow in up be the time COVID hit. So many years worried I would lose my job if I did not try so hard to prove myself, I was the primary earner and insured for all of us. My husbands illness spiraled during COVID and found myself leaving early each day to work remote, so I could be with him. Now that he has passed, kids are long grown and out of state, I regret some of my choices. My job kept us housed, fed, clothed, insured but I missed so much trying to ensure we did not lose our home. Anyone who has the chance to raise their children, I am so happy for you. Unfortunately, low wage or hourly jobs, people in any job who know they are extremely expendable, and thise who have to work on site dont get that option, not if they want to have the money to house and take care of a child and or spouse. For those that are able, take advantage, you can never get that time back.

Me too. I went from spending sometimes up to 2 hours getting ready with the perfect outfit, make up and perfect hair. Now everything I wear and do is all about comfort. No make up, I buzzed my hair off and only wear and buy clothes that are incredibly comfy. It was liberating.

Add me to the club. I am more about being comfortable than about appearance. My clothes are comfort clothes. I don't dye my hair any more and mostly wear it up. Make up sits in the bag ( who cares).My man accepts me as I am and always has anyway. Things are way too expensive anyway so what occasion do I need to dress up? Now I just laugh at my mom for wanting to look like a fashion plate when she goes to her doctors.

Same, same...I no longer care if I leave the house without my 'face' on.

Who says your looks went to s**t? Your looks are now YOUR looks, and are perfectly lovely. Anyone who says otherwise can just go f**k themselves. Besides, you are doing your hair and skin and everything else a HUGE favor by not messing with all that c**p. I stopped wearing makeup without all the damned pressures from a job to do so, and my skin thanks me every day for it because it is the healthiest it’s been in decades since I stopped clogging my pores and f*****g up my eyelashes with that goop. I also revived the natural wave in my hair that I had straightened for decades in an effort to look fashionable, and my hair thanks me every day, because I no longer apply heat and product to it to straighten it, and as a result it’s the healthiest and thickest it has been in decades. I stopped wearing high heels, and my feet thank me everyday for not torturing them anymore in an effort to look fashionable. Most of all, my bank account thanks me every day for not wasting money on a work wardrobe and all the other expenses that go with commuting and having to donate to the f*****g birthdays and babies and Christmas and other b******t for people at work who I either have never met, couldn’t care less about, or outright hate, especially evil managers scraped up from the putrid dregs of hell—-who NEVER returned the favor to me, or any of the other employees who ponied up their hard earned cash for their gifts. F**k them. I don’t have to participate in that sham anymore. I can just do my work, in my home, in my comfortable clothes and shoes (even barefoot in summer!), without makeup, and with my hair just doing what it does naturally. I actually get so much more done (because I’m truly comfortable), without wasting time on the corporate theatre b******t, and getting interrupted by someone else trying to pull everyone in to their public a*s kissing of the boss. MUCH happier and way more content. Do NOT miss being in the office and all the stupid b******t that went with it.

So, me for basically my entire life. I get a free pass because I'm a man but even for a man I've always been pretty low maintenance. Basic haircut, trim my own nails. All of my bulges are "natural" LOL

I had a dog to walk during lockdown, so that was my exercise and wave at the neighbors time. Otherwise, I was in the house or the yard, and actually got more fresh air and sunshine than I ever did commuting to, and being at, an artificially climate controlled office, under artificial lighting, and not seeing the sun for the prime 8 hours every day.

Sometimes I wish I still ran marathons because it kept me *somewhat* thin and healthy, but those moments are always rose-tinted, because I absolutely hated it. It was gruelling and just too exhausting. On top of that, the big marathon in my area is in February, so you spend the winter training. Not a lot of fun. Once I completed my first full marathon my motivation just went down and down over the next 3-4 years, and I completely lost interest. Now I'm severely overweight, but the thought of running is a demotivator. So, I'm trying different things.

I picked up a habit of wearing an undershirt UNDER my bra. I watched a lot of “how they dressed in the olden days” YouTube videos and picked up this trick. Total game changer!

I have marbles so no bra!!! Bras and shoes are instruments of the Devil!!!

Bras? Why bother?! 🤣

I may be downvoted into oblivion. Would like to see sanitizer dispensers in public bathrooms like Wal-Mart, etc. Our local C-Store does this.

Yup. Also, any time I'm out and see a hand sanitizer, I use it.

had rather sit in my swing in my back yard shady spot and look at the sky!

Yay? I feel sorry for folks who needed a pandemic and people dying to be able to say no about not going some place they don't want to go.

That's fantastic, good for all of you! See, the internet's okay for some things... As much garbage as there is out there, there are some good uses of time out there!

Add me to the group. I prefer to be home and as far away from people as possible these days. They have turned into AHs.

Saves money, too!

What I would appreciate even more is if people that are sick wear a mask or if possible, not go out in crowds. Most masks are more effective at preventing your cough from spreading germs than you breathing in the ones already in the air, unless they are a N95 mask that is properly fitted. Note that the possibility of getting sick goes up as the amount of germs per a given space. Cutting them down because they hit the mask reduces the amount the enter the air.

Good for you trying not to be a vector

I still wear facemasks daily. Even more so now that it's coming up to cold and flu season. I'm still required to wear one when attending appointments at doctors and at the two hospitals I've to occasionally visit so it's no big deal. Hey! Saves on make-up! Both with the cost of wearing it daily and with the time it takes to put on!

The mask in the picture will not do much to protect the driver though.

I still mask up when I'm out in public. As a result, I don't get sick as much as I used to. I've only gotten sick twice in the last four years.

There's no place like home...

Maybe when I'm too old to shop for myself. I can't see paying someone else to bring my groceries home.

Online shopping during covid worked out great as my knees wore out and I can no longer tolerate the pain involved in shopping, standing in checkout lines, or carrying my groceries to my car and into my house.

Deliveroo and supermarket deliveries here really took off during the Pandemic and Lockdowns. I still use Deliveroo, especially if I'm having a bad day with pain due to my spine, and now do a monthly huge Supermarket delivery shop of frozen, dried etc food, use Amazon for bulk orders of toilet paper, laundry pods etc. Deliveroo though? There are some things I can get via the shops on there that I can't find in the supermarkets around the corner so yeays!

I simply cannot get myself to pay the premium for that service.....but I would like to.

I now understand why mobsters find track suit apparel so appealing.

I have one pair I used to call my running heels, I would save them for days when I knew I will be on my feet all day running around, like exhibitions and conferences. Now I can’t even walk out of the door in them without my feet aching. Turns out wearing heels is not like riding a bicycle. Replaced heels with orthopedic black shoes for formal events and guess what, nobody cares. Wish I had done it 20 years sooner.

oh gosh same... I used to have all kinds of shoes I could wear. Now it's mostly just sneakers... and I am 100% good with that!

Lol i cant go out without eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, concealer, blush, lip liner, lip tint, brow pen, glossy lip gloss, and highlighter. I rlyyy want to stop one day :(

Yep, I just realized how old my makeup is...hmm should I replace it or not
