And - if you "get nose to nose" with someone during a pandemic while there are actual rules requiring you to keep your distance, don't be surprised some day, if someone calls the police to complain about being physically harassed and threatened. You can get nose to nose with an officer.

Did I say the problem was trivia? Did I deny there was a problem? No I did not! It is trivial to get all bent out of shape if a person absentmindedly goes the wrong way. I'm not one of them yet, thank God, but there people whose mental faculties aren't what they should be and easily get confused or distracted. You don't have any idea why they do what they do. If you politely mention to them they are not following rules and they come back with a nasty attitude then you know they are cognizant of their actions. If it makes you feel good get nasty back but to come on with an insulting and superior attitude first is boorish behavior.
If you come onto me with insulting and provocative language I might take that as being "physically harassed and threatened." There are laws against instigating a confrontation. Both of us might be nose to nose with a police officer.
