Good lord. I had to get a new CPAP machine, so had to go in person to the sleep lab.

6 people, in a small, crowded, dirty room. No masks, no distancing, sharing food. All looked under 30 so why would they care?

The guy who helped me was really nice and DID put on a mask but I didn’t realize until he’d unpacked my new machine that he hadn’t washed his hands or put on gloves before doing it. (I realized when he said, “Whoops, should be wearing gloves.)

I’ve been in the house so long I’ve forgotten how to be an asshole when it’s appropriate to be one! I didn’t foresee this problem!

And my mouth seemed taped shut. I was either going to run away (literally almost bolted out the door) or freeze, and my body went with freeze.

My latent “don’t make waves” personality shone. In some cases, I shouldn’t care if I sound rude.

I feel so stupid.

I just assumed a medical office would want to be a little safer. The boss DID pull his shirt over his mouth as he passed within a foot of me. Another guy got that close to me and just said, “Sorry I’m not wearing a mask.” And I SAID “THAT’S OKAY.”
