Party hosts are offering color-coded wristbands so people can signal how much personal space they want. A wedding planner says that can help avoid “that uncomfortable conversation with Aunt Judy at the bar.”

The Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce in Virginia has restarted its in-person business networking events. Handshakes, back slaps and close talkers are optional these days.

Instead, attendees at the group’s events are encouraged to select a new pandemic-era accessory: brightly colored wristbands or stickers that signal whether they want others to come physically close or stay the heck away. A plastic display sign provides the code, modeled on traffic lights: Red means “no contact” with “no exceptions.” Yellow means “elbow only,” as in stick to the elbow bump, pal. As for green, the sign says: “Hugs welcome.”

“The greens are just ready to party,” says Danielle Fitz-Hugh, the president of the chamber, near Richmond. Others, meanwhile, stand off to the side of the room. “I’m always like, ‘Why are you over here?’, ” says Ms. Fitz-Hugh. “They’ll say, ‘I’m a red.’ ”

This is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen

More like to signal their level of mental illness.

Hey if you can make a buck off selling bracelets, go for it

Don’t give a shit about your space... move the fuck out of the way if you don’t want people near you.

No they aren’t

Which people?

They don’t appear to be working.

Red hats are already a great indicator of someone who is a high risk disease vector

Too subtle

disgusting

🤡

Lol

Nope. Nope. Nope. Not ever.

What color to keep people 100 feet away?

Also handy: speaking with your mouth what your preference is zerowaste ecofriendly communication

What’s the color for “if you’re vaccinated, come sit next to me. If you’re not vaccinated, stay the hell away!”?

Ridiculous

😆

Idiotia sem tamanho. Esqueceram que espaço público não é propriedade privada. Eles querem espaço particular? Fiquem em casa.

What color band represents ‘maximum virtue signaling’

These are the products of MKUltra brainwashing techniques of the corrupt CIA and their NWO promoting Demonrats.

This is sooo laame

Their delusion is that they think that bracelet holds the power to convey a message while most people will know to steer clear of them because of our innate ability to detect total dorks.

Good grief.

Not a big fan of stranger, non-family hugs before so it’s fine by me if they just wave.

Has any previous species ever controlled their own route to extinction? It seems we are trying hard.

Socially awkward butterflies...you know we're in a social tailspin when we can't even proactively communicate with people anymore. Instead, we're relying on props and anything else we can to skip having a direct conversation

I'm an old-fashioned guy; I prefer to use my personality to let people know I want them to fuck off

Just like the bandanas in gay bars in the 80s.

Fckin disaster 🤢🤮🤮🤮

Wait, isn’t this just Traffic Light Party: Pandemic Edition?

When did weakness become a virtue?

What is the color to keep no-mask assholes 100 feet away?

weaklings

Not a party I want to be at.

Hoop skirts for everyone.

I like the idea of the bands 😅

Hello do you need a work from home job? $25/hour, kindly dm me if you’re interested

We needed these pre-Covid For old aunt Judy

If you even for a minute believed Covid-19 came from a bat or some wet market in Wuhan, I have a nice piece of land to sell you. The lab leak theory has been around since this began but it didn’t fit with the deceitful MSM narrative. People please stop watching & listening to MSM

The Onion ran this story

We should be doing this for STD’s! Sounds great right

Okay, wait... so you go to a party... I mean, you are at a party. So, it's a party. Umm, did I miss something?

All because a dysfunctional arse had to have 🦇 for dinner 😏😏

Is this satire

This is the 2nd time today you have tweeted this and changed the description. Theres probably some super libs out there that are doing this, but no one outside of that is doing it. Maybe tweet it a 3rd time and it will hit that ratio you are lookin for.

Trump claimed that covid-19 originated in China and that it came out of that Chinese lab. The media and their 'experts' said that was a lie. Now they are thinking Trump was probably right.

Wow

Dumb

Like that aunt is going to respect personal space...

nice
