I'm visiting a small town, a generally red area, but with some very blue parts due to a local university.
I went into a gaming store today for some Christmas shopping. The door said "Masks Required" but I assumed it had just been left up. I enter and the proprietor says, "Masks are in the box." I say, "Oh, masks are still required?" Answer, yes.
I turn to my kid and say, "Ok, we'll go back out."
As I turn to leave, the owner immediately gets upset and yells "Well EXCUSE ME for not wanting to die. I'm immunocompromised, I want to stay healthy, THANKS FOR CARING."
It's worth noting that the owner appeared to be some non-binary blobfish of a human. Honestly no idea if he or she. If s/he REALLY wanted to be healthy, xer would lose about 75 lbs.
That's pretty much the craziest covid interaction I've ever had.
According to this creature, it's technically society's fault, and by extension your fault, that it has aids. Therefore you should be forced to submit for your imagined transgressions and how dare you not apologize.
Honestly, he could probably have picked up the box the masks were in and (if it was still the box the masks came in) showed the non-binary blobfish a printed label on it saying "not intended for use against covid-19" or something similar. Because most mask boxes have that on them. Then the transgression would be it's fault.
