So I had to go pick up detergent earlier and I went to a small general store for it to avoid crowds. It costs a bit more but it’s worth it.

I was wearing my mask but the few people in the store weren’t, besides the staff. I grabbed what I needed, went to checkout and someone..
was already checking out, so I stood back & waited. Another customer came up and waited behind me, uncomfortably close.

I then heard someone outside yelling “Hon, get your mask on”. The front door was propped open so I could see a 2 guys in a pickup pointing in my direction..
I looked behind me and the woman waiting was holding her head down in her hand. He then screamed again saying “Hon, get your fucking mask on. People are dying of fucking corona out here”. I looked out at them and the driver gave me the finger. He continued yelling and laughing..
as I checked out. I went outside and tried my best to say nothing or rip these assholes out of the truck and stomp their asses. As I walked to my car, he repeatedly yelled “Hurry up, the virus is right behind you” and they laughed. As I put the bag in the trunk, I felt I’d..
reached my limit with their BS. Just as I started to turn to walk towards them, the lady, who I’m assuming was his wife/partner, proceeded to come out of the store and slap the shit out of him and chew him out. I waited to make sure he didn’t retaliate against her before..
getting in my car and leaving. I’m hoping she is ok and knocked some sense into him.

This BS, or mostly dirty looks, is what I deal with around here on every seldom occasion that I have to go out. I assume the rest of you deal with this too to some degree and I feel for y’all.
I just can’t help but wonder how people like this can deny the seriousness of what is going on and punish those that are protecting themselves and minding their own business.

I really hope I don’t have to go out, besides my required trips to the infusion lab, anytime soon..
because despite being a nonviolent, chill person under most circumstances, the urge to slap the shit out of some of these folks is getting stronger and my patience is getting slimmer.
