No, "awkward" was when you freaks threatened to yank my autistic daughter's paraprofessional services (that we paid for entirely out of pocket) unless me, my wife, and all of our other children wore masks inside our own home the entire time the para was present. And then you followed through when we said we weren't doing that. Poof, no more services.
"Awkward" was when you people tried to have me arrested for not being masked at a school board meeting--my presence there being to ask, after 8 months, exactly how long into the future you were intending to keep the public schools entirely shuttered, in the absence of a single covid fatality in our city for months.
Speaking of "awkward," it was pretty "awkward" when one of you zombies actually came at me with a mask in your hands and attempted to physically put it on my face, when I came into a clinic to have my fractured toe looked at. You looked at me like I was the crazy one when I dodged to the side, waved, said "No, thank you!" and left.
I don't think it was me who made things "awkward" when, in the middle of a long car trip with the family, I went into a gas station to buy gas station pizza for the kids. I waited in line, had the food on plates in the open air, paper cash money in-hand, then the the maskologist cashier said that in order to ring me up, I was going to have to go to my car and get "my mask." Motherfucker, I don't have a "my mask," I don't have any mask, and I'm certainly not going to do this stupid song and dance just to pick up trash road food. But the look you gave me as I left empty-handed sure was "awkward."
Fuck you unthinking drones to the Moon and back. Not only should anyone continuing this charade be openly gawked at like they've got a weeping disfigurement at all times, anyone who ever told another human being that they had to don the sacred face-tissue should have the outline of these things tattooed on their fucking face for all eternity.
