Besides big-government bans for Covid-19, there are city bans as well, and today....it came out that a pub by itself....made up a ban rule.
This occurred in London, at a regular pub. 'Extended eye contact' is forbidden by the operators of this pub.
I sat and reviewed the term.
Generally, at least on the handful of occasions that I've sipped ale in England at a authentic pub....along about 10 PM....folks had a fair amount of ale, and full eye contact was more or less the situation going on. I wouldn't say we were all drunk at the stand or table....but we had enough to focus entirely upon the guy telling the story, or the episode of 'woe' that he was endearing.
So you sit and ponder upon this....how will you ensure you aren't conducting full-up 5000-percent eye contact?
What if this were a London damsel....with a weird dragon tattoo on her neck, and telling some great Shakespearian story over love-found and love-lost? Could you cut the extended eye contact and just stare at the wall while listening to her? Could you pretend she didn't exist?
What if this damsel had a big long tattoo running up her leg and you were gazing for an extended time at the leg? Would that be enough to get you in trouble with the barkeeper?
Would there be some 'bouncer' at the bar....gazing around the room, looking for you rough guys who are conducting 'extended eye contact'? Would he come over and give you a one-time warning? Would he tap you on the back of the head and tell you to wise-up and cease the eye contact, or leave the pub?
All of this....because of Covid-19?
