Little (actually a fat ass) old lady was getting out of her car this morning as I walked by.
Her: "You are suppose to be wearing a mask!" Me: Yes maam, and continued walking. Her: "Well, you are endangering lives!!!" Me: Uh-huh. Her: Screams "You are a disgusting person with no regard for other people's lives!" Me: Look around and see other people walking nearby without masks on. I was about to ask her for a spare, but decided it wasn't worth it, and kept walking. Getting crazy out there yo. |

I had a guy wearing a full face mask /w filter glare at me when I cleared my throat in line at the Lowe's lumber checkout
Guy was fat as fuck. If the Shanghai shivers won't get him, the beetus will |

Ducks, and chickens, haven't said anything. The deer have other concerns with the mountain lion hanging around, again. The cat is a flu bro, so doesn't care.

Not yet. I think it's because I look scary.
Or like a kid. Or like a scary kid. |

Okay, since masks and gloves are not to protect you, but to keep you from spreading your germs, if you need a mask and gloves, shouldn't you be at home? I mean if you're that sick, and all.

At the post office today and some guy was wearing one of those skull masks that some teams in 7th group were wearing in IRQ circa 2005.....Scaring the Muhammad out of haji.
When I saw him I immediately thought I need to get a skull mask. Like this but better. Attached File |

Amazing how our society has done a full 180 when it comes to masks. Remember how we used to laugh at Asian countries for wearing masks in public all the time, well before the corona? Now people here are losing their shit if you're not wearing one.

The "masks"...they do nothing.
Virus size of 125nm. Cotton fabric pore size...just a few orders of magnitude larger. |

Go get a klan hood mask if you really want to rustle some jimmies.
"What? Ya'll said to get a mask. This is the only one I could find in grampa's closet!" |

You can’t win, you wear a mask and some Karen will get pissed because you used a mask that could have been saved for someone else. Don’t wear one and a different Karen loses her shit.

Nobody has said shit to me, but I haven't gone out much eother.
My reaction would be to ask if they knew where I could find any masks for sale. Quoted: The "masks"...they do nothing. Virus size of 125nm. Cotton fabric pore size...just a few orders of magnitude larger. View Quote |

The virus is for the most part attached to a larger particle that will get caught in the mask. View Quote By that measure, wouldn't it make more sense to wear a plastic face shield vs something that will trap the virus in a permeable cloth mere fractions of an inch away from your face holes? |

No. Thankfully everyone in my area is acting pretty nice, from my experience. I ran a lot of "essential" errands this morning.

They might make me wear a mask but they won't like it. I decorate mine if I wear one. Yesterday it was red/white/blue stripes and said
20DJT20 across the top. Today's says "Bring out yer Dead". |

Berating a large Sioux man with a Glock 19 on his hip constitutes a ‘bad idea’, so thankfully I haven’t had to stuff anyone head-first into a trash can yet.

busy body bitches (both male and female) are everywhere. Tell her to go back to her safe space.
I can't help but laugh at all the weirdos wearing masks inside their cars or out and about walking. Get a life people, if you live in the city and are ass to ass with people, sure, wear a mask. If you are in an empty neighborhood, ditch the mask. |
|
Yes, couple of days ago at grocery store. The funny part is the chick who got on my case had HER mask under her chin. Mouth and nose not covered. I just laughed.

Government says anyone who does X (or doesn't do Y) is a massive threat to you and is selfish. So it gives the masses someone to hate. Well, someone to hate other than the people who are shitting all over their personal freedoms on a daily basis. |

Not yet, but a quick, curt, "go get your face fucked, sheep" will be soon to follow.

We went to Kroger yesterday and wife wasn't happy I didn't wear the one she gave me.
Of course maybe 30% of the customers and staff were wearing them. She read somewhere that anyone going into a grocery store was supposed to wear one. I wasn't planning on swapping spit with anyone there so meh. |
|
Fuck no. Virtually no one is wearing a mask here. Maybe one in 500.

People are usually scared to talk to me, had that happened I would just start coughing uncontrollably.
Either way that old bag wont get near me again. |

I had some guy get pissy because I went the wrong direction down a grocery aisle. I felt the need to point out the arrows on the floor. I just looked at him the the arrows and said "whatever". He got triggered and I just ignored him. People need to chill.

Man, nothing like this ever happens to me...I have no filter at times and don't mind insulting others.
