After this is all over...

Just a light-hearted thread on whether some things have changed in your personal outlook on life or other people due to the Coronavirus.

I'll start.

After this is all over, children need to be taught how to paint rainbows properly.

How long do you think this thread will stay light hearted?
I'll try and keep it going.
After this is all over, I want to skip through the park and give the first stranger I meet a hug...

Blokes that needed telling to wash their hands after having a piss continue to wash their hands, the dirty buggers.

I just want to go to the pub with mates, get smashed, and share a big bag of scratchings.

Want it so much. So much.

After this is all over, the stress of the rat-race commute to work, when everyone else joins in again, will help me focus on my retirement plans

Today for the first time since this kicked off I had a serious longing for a proper pint. Knowing all those pubs are stacked full of the stuff going stale brought a tear to my eye.

After this is all over I'll start going round my local park and start picking up all the rubbish, cans and plastic bottles again.

I feel like life has rebooted and I'm now going at a gentler pace. Not seeing family/friends is obviously not good but everyone I interact with seems much more pleasent.
We're not under pressure at work, there's less traffic on the roads so no late finishes due to getting back late and, again, my workmates seem more chilled.
Set duties have been removed, so there's a bit of variety in the workday.
Would be good if life was like this after this is all over.
The lack of dating opportunities is really s**t though. :-)

Being with family again and not having to freeze in my tracks when someone appears from nowhere and heads towards me.

Sames.. We were saying the other day on our WhatsApp group that we all felt bad for those weekends we were asked to go out but didn't because we couldn't be bothered and gave some half arsed excuse about not being able to go lol

Plenty of people doing that now, ambling around the supermarket aisles gawping slack jawed at the shelves, or couples stood around having some drawn out conversation over which type of beans to get... instead of just getting in, getting what they need and getting out again in a timely and efficient manner.
