I would have asked him for his number and then ring him a week later saying you are going to sue him for being a selfish fi,cker. That might make him think twice lol. I sneezed once while wearing one. Not fun but I did not think I know maybe If I take my mask off I might sneeze better because I was in a shop and not a selfish person. I did however throw that mask in the bin first change I got. I change my masks regularly.

Sticking them into their pockets? Not really buying in? Well I hate to break it to you (well actually I dont) but thats why we were told months ago that this won't work. Because people are either too stupid or simply not bothered enough to wear them properly. Surprise surprise this appears to be true.

I think masks are nonsense in settings where it's been very clear throughout the pandemic that there was no problem to begin with. That makes me an 'anti masker' or a 'covidiot' even for the more militant (and quite frankly more stupid) brigade.

That makes me an 'anti masker' or a 'covidiot' even for the more militant (and quite frankly more stupid) brigade. But I also wear one where required whether I think its nonsense or not. Cos I'm a law abiding citizen. And I think most people who think 'anti mask' are the same. I dont see anyone not wearing one in the supermarket these days. So whats the issue now?

I've explained to elderly neighbours who were wearing them wrong and now they have it perfect. Don't assume or project just to meet your own slant on masks.
