Yes, Mr. KFC drive-through dude, I did ask you to pull up your damn mask. It does no one any good hanging on your chin, especially not my 74-year-old mother who suffers from RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis), who is on immune-suppressing medications and is sitting next to me in this car.
And before anyone @'s me saying she should be staying home, understand that this is the only time she gets to leave the house; it's a ride-along, she never gets out of the car.
Aaaannnddd yes, Miss @kfc soda slinger I WAS talking to you too. Masks don't belong on your chin or under your nose. Both orifices need to be covered to limit your spewing radius. Being belligerent and threatening is not going to change that FACT.
I wear my mask to protect you/others, not make a political statement. And with the mask mandate, I expect any business touting adherence to strict guidelines to actually follow and or enforce said guidelines (looking at you too đź‘€ @QuikTrip).
live in the hope that once someone realizes they are wearing their mask wrong, they would fix it and do better. I want to believe that most people would be concerned enough about their fellow citizens to wear them correctly.
Intentionally putting people in danger is a dick move. I don't care what your political beliefs are. Masks are not a partisan issue; the virus doesn't give a shit either. As I said, I live in hope, but I also live in Kansas, so I'm not very optimistic.
And for the "this 'merica" brigade. Here are 10 points for you to consider before you @ me.
For your reference:
1. I don't care. I'm tired of listening to people bleat about "their rights" while doing everything in their power to violate mine, through selfishness and/or negligence. So, please, save your breath.
2. If you're not a doctor, I'm not interested in your medical advice.
3. Go ahead and call me a Karen, a boomer, snowflake, a fascist, an Antifa operative, or any of the myriad of names people get called when they want others to do the bare minimum of common decency.
4. I'm just trying to get myself and those I love through this shit storm, alive and in one piece. I would greatly appreciate it if my fellow citizens stepped the fuck up.
5. If our grandparent's generation can sacrifice their lives on Normandy's beaches, you can suffer through wearing a mask correctly for the 3-5 minutes it takes to complete my order/transaction.
6. Wearing a mask is an inconvenience, not a violation.
7. This virus is real; it kills people. No amount of alternative facts or pseudo-science will ever convince me otherwise.
8. Sticks and stones; and all that jazz.
9. I know what the block feature is, and I'm not afraid to use it.
10. Finally, if you have any other issues with this thread, please see point #1.
