Thankfully I've only had 2 issues, both at the grocery store.
A couple weeks ago one of the employees asked if I had a mask on the way in- this happens fairly often, you just say "I have an exemption" and they say "ok" and you move on. Exempt this time an employee asked if I had an exemption card (which don't exist here) and we argued for a minute before she let me go. I called the store to complain and the manager apologized to me.
Today was my 1st member of the public. Some WuFlu Willy started harassing me as I was going down the aisle (even in compliance with the arrows!) about a mask. Got a pic but sadly the video didn't record. Went on some rant about me getting everyone sick, about his wife being in the cancer hospital, that it was "BULLSHIT" that I had an exemption (wish I'd said the same about his wife), saying that I should send someone else to get my groceries or get curbside/delivery (he didn't have a good answer as to why he wasn't doing it as he was so concerned). He claimed exemptions don't exist in the bylaw (they do, the sign at the front of the store even mentions them lol) and to top it off he was wearing a mask with valves, which they say don't prevent the spread...sadly I didn't think to say that to him at the time.
There was an employee at the end of the aisle so I yelled at her to get security and the guy walked away, stopping only to rant at the employee for allowing people without masks in before leaving.
I wear a mask over my mouth, not my nose, and only when I am indoors someplace. I live alone, and don't go out much, so 99% of the day I don't wear one.
I live next door to a Walgreens, though, so I do shot there without a mask. They are used to it now, but every now and then I get some other customer eyeballing me. I'm just waiting to hit some Covid Karen with, "Ive already had it, the asymptomatic don't transmit it, and I have no symptoms, so fuck off."
I'm 6'5", so most people tend to leave me alone anyway. :)
Not jabbing at you because this is based very much on some weirdness with me, but pulling it below my nose makes me feel like even more of a faggot than wearing it normally (which is saying something because it definitely makes me feel like a cuck). Like I really am just putting the cloth on my face because they told me, I'm fully accepting that it's dumb but doing it anyway, I should just not be a beta and not wear it at all.
Its a calculated attempt to not be hassled by the Karens of the world, and by extension the police.
I had pretty good allergies for a good couple months. I accidentally sneezed near some people in, like, May (when there was genuine suspicion for concern)... they just seemed to veer off in every other direction.
Why don't you wear it over your nose? If it transmits by particulate, wouldn't it still transmit in that case?
I wear glasses, and a mask fogs them up something fierce if I wear it over nose and mouth. I wear a mask that way for appearances sake only; I don't believe a mask does shit to stop the spread of this thing. People can't spread it unless they are symptomatic anyway, and I don't have symptoms, because I don't have it.
Ah. That makes a ton of sense.
