I don’t have friends and still got Covid…

I definitely did something wrong (it was “being employed”)

Ah the ol' funeral BOGO offer.

Did you at least feel useful for the company as much as they like it to seem?

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No. It was a job that could have stayed fully remote but was instead hybrid. And it was a big waste of time job. I could have had another job at the same time.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, a true shame, I hope you are in a better scenario nowadays.

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Can confirm.

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Social isolation for 10 years and no covid even when family in the house got it. This strategy works. Your friends are killing you and no vaccination can save you from them. The fuck did I put my tinfoil... \s (disabled)

I have a friend. I married her and the two of us never leave the house so in this doctor's face!

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I literally just asked my covid-don't-ever-leave-the-house friend to marry me last week

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Congratulations! (Assuming they said yes 😬)

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Id be a bit less tempted to put it on the internet had they not. Thank you!

Ditto. My wife is one of two humans I like, and the other lives in a different state.

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We do have too many pets

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or they just have a friend group full of responsible individuals

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Responsible? Or crazy lucky and/or less likely to get tested?

[–] Misconduct@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Orrr just responsible people that quarantine before hanging out, get vaccinated, wear masks, and social distance. Option number 2 is online friends. I've got a few that got nailed by covid but we d&d/game primarily online so I was still safe lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have vulnerable people in my life so nobody sees me in person unless they're damn sure they're clean and so far none of them have let me down

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I'm still going to call that lucky if you live in an urban area. Even the good quality masks won't protect a wearer completely.

[–] TxzK@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bullshit. I have no friends yet I had COVID

[–] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Damn you got hit with the double whammy

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What if my "friends" didn't contract it either? Are we not friends then?

[–] swayevenly@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Real friends give you covid.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Is that why the Republicans were so against masking, because they're really loyal to their friends?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

bro real friend give you the clap

[–] fidodo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Then your friends don't have any friends

[–] _lilith@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Making excuses after losing the game

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 8 points 1 year ago

well that's awful rude of him

I'll bet he smells funny, the fucker

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah, he may have a point with that one.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does a girlfriend count as a friend? I've never had COVID so I guess it does.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean it does not. If you had friends then you had covid.

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe they are making a joke, implying they don't have a girlfriend.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, I see that now

[–] blargerer@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

My sample size of one gives his claim merit.
