It’s like restaurants wanting people to wear a mask to their table. It’s stupid. And even if masks worked, a restaurant is not a place you should be if you are paranoid about respiratory viruses.
Yeah on the local news a few times they said that around 70% of lemon wedges in restaurants had fecal bacteria. Also hepatitis from salads and filthy workers.
At rec facility indoor pool. I walk out of the pool to dry, and a woman with a mask was trying to get my attention. She pointed at my and at her face, I realized she was talking about a mask. I mouthed that I'm drying off and held up my towel. She walked backwards to the waterline (about 10 ft away from me) and side stepped by. I couldn't believe what just happened, my first real life encounter with a NPC.
You're lucky. I've already had 3 bovines scream at me for not wearing latex gloves while shopping... on 3 different occasions. One said I was a Fox viewer, despite no apparent visual cues for such thing.
That's nuts. Are you in a big city? I'm in a small city in upstate NY and I mock the glove wearers. They don't even use the gloves properly. They touch their phones, reach into their purses, etc. Then I find the gloved discarded in the parking lot. The worst type of person does this.
No, I don't. But I live beyond the fringe of a metro, where agri meets city, so there is crossover.
I just find it obscene. People yelling their heads off in public like 7 year olds not getting their favorite toy they've been eyeing for an entire month.
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T GET THE RONA IF YOU'RE SITTING [email protected] iT'S BECAUSE THE RONA IS LIGHTER THAN AIR AND ONLY FLOATS AT STANDING PERSON HEAD LEVELSi!i!
IF THIS BIGGONT COUNTRY CARED MORE ABOUT HANDI... I MEAN REDUCED ABLED PEOPLE THERE WOULD BE ENOUGH RAMPS FOR EVERY ONE AND THEN WE COULD BEAT THIS VIRUS BY EVERYONE USING WHEEL CHARS! BUT NO! PATRIARCHAL LEG USERS STILL USE STAIRS SO EVERYBODY CAN'T USE WHEELCHAIRS!
Went to lunch a few weeks ago. You have to wear a mask to your table. Then it get's even better. You need to keep it on until your drinks arrive, then you may remove it. I asked the server why? They had no legitimate answer.
I don't get the thinking at this point. I'm going to a very public place, to have a meal, prepared by people with questionable hygiene skills, served by people that are handling both money and the credit machine, while others walk by my table crop-dusting me. How is keeping a mask on until my drink arrives "saving" me from covid?
If I was that afraid, I sure as fuck wouldn't be going for a meal at germ central station.
If it was a work lunch or you were on your lunch break, I completely understand staying. But if this were just a lunch with friends or family, I would have stood up and said "we're going somewhere else". These people have to be told that we realize how stupid these policies are. I also refuse to spend money anywhere that goes above and beyond with the covid shit. Yoga studio that requires a questionnaire and temperature check every visit? No. Gym that has a mask sign on the door, but the employees look the other way when I start working out and the mask "accidentally slips off"? Yes.
Yeah. It’s the inconsistency which irritates me. I can actually accept that masks would be helpful in situations like subways, elevators etc where you are sharing their air with people for a short amount of time. Masks would plausibly reduce infections there.
But if you’re sitting around a table eating and talking and stuff, a mask isn’t going to do shit when you’re there for two hours. It’s not like a protective magic spell.
Just wear a mask that is obviously useless. I have one that is lace — it is obviously pointless, the air goes right through it. People don’t care, as long as I look like I’m complying! That’s how you know it’s all bullshit.
If it were that serious then the restaurants could not and should not ever open. The fact that they are open is evidence that it is indeed NOT that serious and therefore requiring masks is stupid and pointless.

Or germs of any kind.
*Shit smeared lemon slices have entered the chat.
Is that a thing?
Yeah just Google lemon party (NSFW)

Neurotic people need tranquilizers. I swear.

I was at the library and had a stack of books in my hand. My mask dropped below my nose and the lady working there said SIR
like do you not see what I have in my hands? I'm not dropping them on the ground to fix my face diaper

Damn patriarchal leg users. Reminds me of a Simpsons episode. Hand me my reaching stick...
White leg supremacy - no wonder they have a leg up

It's still unbelievable to me how some restaurants are closed for indoor dining and instead offer an outdoor yet still enclosed place to sit in.
