I still mask. It’s starting to make some people I encounter in public angry as we enter into the Year of Our Lord 2025. Some dude started bitching at me in the store a few weeks ago, and I decided to try hissing at him like Nadja the vampire on What We Do In The Shadows, and he shut right up.
Wearing a mask is a sign that you’re sick and are willing to take measures to prevent others from catching what you have. What a sorry state of affairs we’re in where you’re judged for doing something so considerate. I’m sorry you have to put up with their shit.
I’m not even sick most of the time. I just don’t want COVID again even though I’m super vaccinated and only had one very mild case. I still want to take that precaution. It affects nobody but me and I’m always surprised how indignant the people who have said something to me are over it. But at least most people leave me alone, apparently in conservative US states they’ll scream at you and threaten you from their car windows.
He just looked really surprised and I walked off. Then a very nice gentleman complimented me on my Drive By Truckers shirt and we talked about them for a bit.

It’s a symbol to these people. They don’t even think about its usefulness, because they were told that they have no use.
So to them they see a person wearing a mask as an instant enemy.
Just pull down the mask and full-throat cough in their direction, they’ll get the message
I support the thought, but don’t actually do this. Those assholes will call the cops on you and absolutely try to press charges against you.
What did he say? I can’t imagine any sort of bitching that wouldn’t end up with me laughing at them

So he didn’t bitch at you, just gave you a look?
He might have muttered something but I actually have strep and plugged ears so I didn’t catch it.
