Some helpful advice as we all re-learn how to socialize
Ok, you’ve made it. You’re at your first post-vaccine party (while still abiding by all public health measures!) and it’s time to socialize in a large setting once more. But wait, you haven’t spoken to anyone except for your cat in the past year and a half. Don’t worry, UV is here to help! Here are some things you shouldn’t say at your first post-vax hangout.
- Don’t ask which vaccine someone has.
- Don’t talk about how easy it is to photoshop a vaccination certificate.
- Don’t say Pfizer is the best vaccine. Nobody cares.
- Don’t brag about how you’ve gone this long without catching COVID.
- Don’t talk about the pandemic like it’s over. We may be in a slightly better spot now than last year, but the pandemic is still very real.
- Don’t word-vomit about your pandemic hobby. People can only take so much discussion about sourdough starters.
- Don’t hug or touch someone without EXPRESS permission.
- Don’t show a mild acquaintance your album of crocheted sweaters you made for your cat last winter. Save that for the second post-vax hang.
If you avoid these pitfalls, then you should be well on your way to socializing once again!
