Quoting: Hot Dog Harry I found that the people in my area are forced to deal with my face shield and they keep their mouths shut now. When I'm at work, I wear it but it's on a swivel so it is up over my head for 90-95% of my shift. I just flip it down for the customers that pop in and flip it back up when they leave. We aren't terribly busy. I carry it to the grocery store in my grocery bag and I put it on just for the time that I'm in the store. Maybe 10 minutes. No gross useless face mask for me. I think people can sense that if they give me any shit about my face shield that I'm going to go ballistic on them. It also helps that I'm 260 pounds. You can get these on Ebay cheap. I got two headpieces and 20 shields for about $20. |

I wear my scrubs with my company name on the shirt. I only had 2 issues. One was at Panera. I was making a line and she told me that I needed to wear a mask to order. I told her that the people that were eating are not wearing a mask. She said, yeah, because they are eating. So I told her.... then should I grab one of those desks and sit right here in front of you so I can order? Her face went into a small catatonic state, like there was a fight between logic/reason and stupidity. Logic won and she asked me what I wanted to eat. The other one was at a Smoothie King, kid was like 17 told me I had to wear a mask and I told him I don't need one, it does not work. He started saying the reasons it does work then I pointed at my polo shirt that had my name as Dr. And I told him, so you are schooling me telling me from a highschool kid and me that I went and study all this shit for 10 years based upon what experience and knowledge are you basin your point? He dismissed it and took my order. Some other people would look at me and try to say something but when they looked at my shirt they kinda stopped. I wear my polos everywere with my company name and it kinda gives me authority and I don't have to wear a mask and saves me the time on educating people. Thank You. Keep up the good work! |

Quoting: JoeNobHead What was funny, I held out the bottom of the mask, so I could breath easy, and NO ONE said shit. I thought that was kinda interesting in a way. Even in a medical place, no one said nothing about how I held the bottom out to breath easier. Don't you think that's odd? Otherwise, I don't wear one at all. Took the wife out to eat a Carlito's mexican dinner. Only the staff had mask on, no one else. Not to enter, or to eat. I could see the cooks and they weren't wearing mask LOL Anyone who is afraid shouldn’t be going out anyway. They should stay home. |

Live your life and live it in the absence of fear, it's so liberating!

The Government is never supposed to have that kind of power over the citizens in a free society. You don't care, because you despise freedom. I do, because I value it. Wear your mask if you want, but you do NOT have a right to make that choice for me against my will. You have no right putting other people's lives in danger due to your idiocy and selfishness. Masks only stop particulates 700 nanometers or larger. Virus is 10-70 nanometers. Research from the National Intutute of heath. Look it up for yourself. You're a fool! These arguments don't work with people because then they can just say "BuT AnYthiNG is BeTtEr deN NuffIn!!!" Sure, so handing a brick to someone drowning is better than nothing? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78646202 United States 10/01/2020 04:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You are a MASK-TARD which also rhymes with MUSTARD. Quoting: TillamookTom Wearing masks is not an act of politics nor is it part of any pre-existing political ideologies. It is simply an added measure to help save you and your fellow human beings from getting sick and spreading Covid-19. It isn't about politics, it is about your health. I'd like to share my recent mask story, and I invite you to reply with a story if you wish. Quoting: ThirstyMarlin I just returned to Florida from a recent trip to northern Michigan. I was there for a week and was shocked at the extreme mask wearing protocol and how willing the people were to follow it. In Florida, we have not worn masks outside. Some people do, but they seem scared or just dumb. Although Florida stores such as the famous PUBLIX grocery market requires a mask, but I've been using a fishing tube mask that is easy to breath through, and I can pull it down around my neck. My mask provides absolutely no protection to me or nor anyone else, and I don't care, because I think COVID is a scam. That said, my adventure to Michigan started from the Tampa International Airport, and my first time flying in the age of COVID. I expected the mask requirement, but was surprised to find the majority of businesses in the airport closed, with only a very few newsstands and a place to eat, maybe get a beer if you are lucky. Of course, being at an airport dining place you can take your mask off to eat...how nice. On the airplane (I flew United because it was cheap, and it felt cheap) it smelled powerfully of Lysol, and there was even clouds of this "Lysol" gas thaat would poor into the cabin from the upper air system. It was weird. But I wore my fishing tube mask the entire time, and never covered my nose unless requested "ordered" to. I had one brief flight change at O'hare, a giant beast of an airport. Because O'hare is so international in nature, I got a glimpse of worldly travelers moving about, face masked and sometimes with a full plastic face shied too. It was like a creepy Sci-Fi movie, because the airport was busy, and everyone is masked up. Both of my flights were packed without a single seat available. And it was made clear many times that we had to keep our masks on during flight. Then they served drinks and crackers, and all the passengers were now "allowed" to take our masks off, to eat and drink. And being that the drinks and chips phase of the flight lasts about an hour; I can't explain how crazy these mask rules are. It's ridiculous. In Traverse City, the citizens are basically zombies to the draconian mask laws being forced upon the citizens by a witch State Governor named Gretta. Everyone wears masks outside! It's fucking crazy. I simply refused to wear a mask outdoors, while walking down a city street shopping area. When I would enter a store, I wore my mask as usual below my nose, and in Michigan I actually had numerous store employees tell me that I had to get my mask over my nose. So, in my passive-aggressive way, I'll be obedient to the order for a moment, and pull my mask below my nose whenever I can. It's just so inane that my mask is acceptable, if worn properly, even though my whiskers from an unshaved face poke right through the fine material, which is designed to protect the head and face from the Sun, and maybe some blowing sand, and that's about it. However, there was one glimmer of hope. A small locally owned grocery store had a cardboard box with a sign that said FREE MASKS. I looked into the box, and to my great surprise found a box full of free masks, so I took one as a souvenier from my trip. The masks were nothing more that a Public Restroom style paper towel, with a rubber band stapled onto each side. I thought it was great, although I'm sure the subtle humor flew right over the heads of 99% of the poor souls in northern Michigan. I took a photo of the box of FREE MASKS. If you have a story worth telling, about the fun with masks you are having, share it here. Now I understand, how much different the mask situation can be depending upon which state you are in, and what type of community mindset exists in that particular location. :bio hazard ii: You are so full of it! 3.50 |
