    I, too, look across the pond and wonder what the Americans are fucking doing

          For real. Buying groceries is increasingly stressful. Folk tend to reach into personal space of others, leave their carts in intersections, and generally not give a damn about the person next to them.

          I take it very slow and skip the aisle I kind of wanted something from if I see a complication I’d rather not deal with.

          We never see ourselves as part of the problem. It isn’t easy, though.

            I have perceived such a development too, but I think it’s just that our minds have been warped by the pandemic. During which we did change a lot of our social norms but many people went back to disregarding personal space while others became very aware of it.
