It took a year, but I finally got noticed by a Karen for not wearing a mask. It was a beautiful day in Hollywood and my buddy who lives next door and I went to get a coffee around lunch time.
We were walking home, drinking from our cups, and I had my mask around my neck (have to wear one to enter the coffee shop, because California, but I always pull it down once I exit businesses) when suddenly we approached a middle aged Krazed Karen walking her dog. She immediately starts making snarky comments like "I can't believe this! What is going on with all these maskless people! Is it a convention? Unreal!"
Being an ex-New Yorker, I of course did not hold my tongue. I immediately shot back, "oh, shut the fuck up, idiot, I'm drinking a fucking coffee...outside!" She seemed absolutely stunned that someone would not bow down to her and beg forgiveness! She began sputtering nonsense at that point - could barely form a coherent word, she was so flustered!
As she continued to mutter and began walking around us - giving us a wide berth, as if she was certain we had the 'Rona - I started yelling "Oh my God, YOU'RE GOING TO GET THE DISEASE!! Holy shit YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!!!"
This made her pick up her pace and she fled the scene.
Can't believe it took me this long to draw the attention of a Mask Nazi!!
I had a run in with a mask nazi a while back. I was less then my best self. Not sure how I feel about that.
I am a polite, mild mannered person in general - except when people brazenly disrespect me.
You are in your right to shout down idiots who can't be reasoned with. Aggression is their language, speak it when necessary.
5FT WALL POSTER PLEASE
Almost Every time I've been confronted, it's an old woman.
Men know better than to confront other men who have purpose.
True. The one exception being Leftist gay men - many will go out of their way to start shit.
Because they hate their dads.
So, give them what they're looking for.
Dude, I read your dialog in my worst new York accent and laughed out loud.
Kek
It doesn't often come out, but when I get really pissed off, I let it fly!
Love it. I live in Washington state and in my 20s people asked me if I grew up back east because I was so abrasive in conversations. I took it as a compliment.
LOL. I lived in Portland for a few years and the locals I met really didn't know what to make of the way I talk - was always a subject of conversation.
I worked here for a Floridian billionaire who mostly hired new Yorkers for his management team. When they flew into town, some female employees would call in sick to avoid having to see them.
I loved those fuckers. Every time my boss flew into town he'd throw his hands up and announce "THIS FUCKING GUY" then give me a bear hug.
I miss those dudes.
New Yorkers can be the friendliest/nicest people you will ever meet - you just have to get to know them.
And also not be a little bitch while they get excited and explain themselves.
On a short vacation at the beach in a left wing governor state... a mask Karen asked me to please put on my mask in the elevator. I said yes ma’am and complied politely...but I had her as a captive audience for the ride. I told her I can’t understand people like her that lives such a risky lifestyle. I assumed she was perplexed but I couldn’t read her face of course. I told her that is I was so afraid of a pandemic killing me or my family, there is no way I would bring them to a hotel, risking their life on my homemade thin cotton mask and my willingness to wear it. Of course she didn’t get it, so I gave her a metaphors. I asked if she drove to the beach or flew. She drove. I asked her if she knows how many people lose their life in automobile accidents due to excessive speed. I assured her it’s a big number. Then I asked if she obeyed the speed limit signs. After all, they are REAL laws!
My lesson learned: only spend my money vacationing in states run by governors with common sense. Florida for the beach from now on!
Well played!
99.9%! God bless you fellow pede and former NYer. These people in LA are fucking retarded! All doomers in LA. They are programmed by the tv. Scary place. I hate it here. I want to move to Florida.
Also want to move to FL. The funny thing was, the day before this I witnessed a male Karen at the grocery store make a nasty comment to a women because she forgot to put on her mask when she entered the store - that just pissed me off for the rest of the day (mainly pissed at myself for not standing up for her, but I was in a hurry and it wasn't worth the trouble). So, when the next day a Karen talked smack to me on the street, I was primed to pop off.
We’re all primed now! I can take it anymore!!!!
They usually cross the street when they see me walking towards them with no mask on.
Last summer in the park, a Karen gave me shit about not wearing a mask.
I walk my dog on an 8' leash. I told her that my dog was very violent and that if she tried to get withing 8' of me, she'd wish she was in the hospital recovering from Covid. This was a planned response, BTW. It wasn't a matter of if, but when I'd run into one.
It helped that my fairly harmless rescue showed her teeth when the strange lady in a mask gave me attitude
Nice!
Ha ha ha ha
Her being a woman, notwithstanding, she's going to get herself bitchslapped by someone with a rougher temperament if she keeps that up. I learned a long time ago, the hard way, to mind my own business.
Exactly. If you are that afraid of the Rona, just walk around the maskless person and keep your trap shut. We have wide sidewalks on my street and even if I was coughing all over the place, she was in no danger. I even made extra room for her to get by me before she started running her mouth.
Welcome, brother, welcome. Which Hollywood? I brave Highland every Sunday just waiting for one of these nuts, but there's so many homeless, they kinda get driven away by the typhus.
Couple of miles west here in BH it's actually got a lot better. We had "inspectors" giving out citations for not wearing your speech muzzle. Less and less people are giving a shit though. I can't wait to meet a mask-shamer. My dace diaper has a Brit flag so it works like garlic on a vampire.
$100 she is on Nextdoor RIGHT NOW writing you up. Our one has people posting pictures of rebel infidels who won't comply with communism.
I'm in the Franklin Village area. OMG, I am going to check Nextdoor - I bet you're right!!
Great little cafe opposite the Scientology building over there. Love that place. Not that i'd ever visit without a mask and full hazmat suit, because you know, i'm such a good person
Yeah - it's so dead now. Used to be a very lively little area.
