To mask or not to mask....That is the question. Part II

[actaeon277]

Wasn't Newsome saying wear a mask in restaurants and just lift it ionly long enough to take a bite? At least when he wasn't dining maskless at Chinese Laundry in Napa with thirteen other maskless folks for a birthday party

If we list all the politicians that put out harsh measures, then ignored them, we'd fill a page.

Went to a local Bob Evans again last week. No mask requirements for the patrons, but the employees all had to wear them.

I was wearing a mask for employees sake at stores and such. But now I just don't do it. The employees are over it and you can tell with the haphazard way they wear them. Doing it only because the corp says they have to.

Saw this at a car dealership in Muncie a couple days ago as well. I asked the guy helping us about it and he said it was policy if you didn't have the vaccine. I was not wearing a mask and fessed up that I had not gotten the shot either. No big deal.

My youngest wears a mask as much as she can. She did long before the covid pandemic. She did it so people would stay away from her more. It was brilliant and worked most of the time. Then all this crap started up and ruined her good thing.

I see so many wearing them around their chin.
I think it’s a lot more than just the kids that have developed a security blanket syndrome.

On the UofL campus the other day I saw a homeless guy with a grungy disposable mask, that looked like he’d had it for a very long time, wearing it around his chin. That mask is doing more harm than good.

Yesterday we ate at Arnie's in Lebanon.
They still say you have to wear a mask til you're at your table.

So I put the throwaway mask I've used for the last year that still looks fairly new over just my mouth for the 10 seconds or so just to walk to our table.
TOTALLY absurd, but it's their place.

Right. Like at my dentist, I have to wear a mask for 10 seconds to get to my chair and then lay there with my mouth wide open for the rest of the time. It just don't make sense. I told the hygienist that and she laughingly totally agreed.

You are more patient than I am. My response would have been GFY as I turned and walked out the door

Even if you did have covid, and you were pre-symptomatically contagious, 10 seconds isn't going to expose anyone enough to do ****. That's an absurd policy.

You should make a sign to wear that says - "Will wear mask for food." They might like that.

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY support your right to do that.
My better half, myself and a nearly 90 year old lady that was with us, all just laughed at the absurdity of putting on a mask to walk 20 feet, then taking it off.
We sat down and had a great meal and continued to laugh for awhile at how stupid so much of this is.

I dunno why. that just made my day. I think I'm gonna knock off work now.

You're free to walk out.

I usually don't have too short a fuse, and usually take stupid things in stride.

 

[churchmouse]

Made a few stops. Only partially wore the mouth diaper in the post office but I was open carry.
nice people in there. Asked when the stupid was going to stop and they said not soon enough.

My fuse gets especially short when being confronted over this nonsense while struggling to draw in enough breath to explain to some fool that he doesn't have the sense God gave a brick.

That's why god formed Jethro Tull. To spread the word about brickheads.

I have trouble with masks too, since I had quadruple bypass surgery and they crunched one of my lungs.
The mask makes me cough.

But because their policy was obviously made by "some fool that he doesn't have the sense God gave a brick", I'll just laugh it off (instead of get p*ssed off), walk 20 feet with a mask on my mouth, and take it off.
On the flip side, you're free to drive 40 miles round trip for nothing when you're in the same situation.

I still see a lot of people wearing masks in the city. But the grocery store near me almost no one is wearing them. And what makes me laugh is more than half of the people I see still wearing masks wear them dick-nose.

Okay..call me stupid...what's dick-nose

I just switched from an IL dentist to an IN dentist for this very same absurdity.

I was on the north side of Indy last Saturday, Cicero and Arcadia, didn't see any masks. I was a bit surprised but happy for normalcy. Stand up for your Country and be a Patriot!

Pulled down just below their nose?

I’m no expert on dicks. Or noses. But I think I got that one


*Filter didn’t censor that? Is that an ok word, or am I in trouble?*

 

[Hatin Since 87]

I went to the dentist today after work. Nobody wearing masks except when they masked up to start dentist-ing.

 

[jamil]

Okay..call me stupid...what's dick-nose

Yeah, basically what hatin' said. Awhile back people were calling it "dick-nose" when people wear masks under their nose. I dunno. I think I got it from Joe Rogan or some podcaster.
