I got a doctor's note against wearing a mask. Work gave me a face shield instead. Much better.

The folks at work don't like that I point out that our use of the mask is unsanitary as fuck.

Walk in the front door, get temp checked. Grab a mask out of a big ole bin?

Dude, that's fucking nasty. I know these fuckers don't wash their hands as is. Now, I gotta put ON MY FACE something that these nasty fucks touched?

What's better is I got my hair cut and we're required to wear one.

Anyway the woman (Asian at that but she did a bang up job) pulled my face mask forward and blew the hairdryer in there to blew out the pieces of hair that fell in!

I thought it was fucking hilarious the stupidity of it all!

Wondering if one would have to wear a mask to get her balls waxed?

I need a haircut... I really just go for the beard trim. If they try to make me wear a mask for that? My money goes elsewhere.

I love my barber, he's fucking awesome and this shop has been the best thing I've found since I moved here, but I won't support anyone supporting such stupidity. Don't have the balls to stand up for what's right? You don't have the balls to recieve my hard earned cash. I can find a stripper who is just as good at cutting hair who will do it for cheaper without the bullshit.

My hair is near shoulder length now, it’s insane. Can pull my bangs below my chin, touch my chest even at the right angle. Waiting for my barber to be in full swing - I live in a super libertarian state, and go figure they’re in the only city that’s acting out, enforcing mask requirements, etc.

Of course, I could just go locally and not drive the hour+, but I’ve stayed loyal even after moving because it’s the best barber shop I’ve ever been to, give the best cuts, and super old school vibe (right down to the 1950s chairs, etc). It’s veteran/marine owned, they give vets free cuts (I’m not one/that’s not why I’m going lol), do a ton of volunteer work in the community, have a fridge of free beer while you wait... worth the drive and really hope those guys are doing alright. In normal times they’re the busiest barber shop I’ve ever seen

"Walk in the front door, get temp checked. Grab a mask out of a big ole bin?"

Used to be the same procedure where I work too until end of last week. Now we have to actually have a mask on or we can't enter at all. I've been using the same mask for a few weeks now and that will get even longer now. At least until it won't stay on my face. In my mind, this is the biggest bunch of non-sense since Climate Change. I shake my head constantly in disbelief because anyone with a brain knows none of this means a fucking thing.

Dude, wearing the same mask over and over is terribly unsanitary. You're putting yourself at risk for illness.

Please, if you are forced to wear a mask, wear something fresh and clean. We already have people turned away due to fever, only to find out it's THE FUCKING FLU!!!!!!

I refuse to wear a mask.

In the Navy, I was a primary valve operator. Lots of training on contamination management (on top of what every nuke already gets trained/drilled on constantly)

After the navy, Thanks Obama, I was pretty much stuck in kitchens and retail. Kitchens also have precautions to minimize spread of shit.

Every fucking bit of my training, and what I remember from health class says:

DO NOT REUSE PPE (it's a barrier. If you don't dispose of the barrier and promptly wash your hands, you defeated the purpose)

Improper use of PPE can be more dangerous than not using it

I refuse to listen to a few karens and politicians on shit that I've had to know and practice in my career and training.

Thanks, I do know all of that. Believe it or not, I work in a hospital. Every medical source I have spoken with since this began has said the masks are near worthless. Most people don't wear them properly or contaminate them by touching and lowering and taking off and on and.........

I've been blessed that I rarely if ever get sick and I have never wiped down surfaces, worn masks, use hand sanitizers, anything. People around me who are freakish cleaners and sanitizers get sick constantly. Probably just luck on my part.

Masks are useless after a few hours. As they get wet with your breathing through it. The particles then travel on the moisture as you breathe in and out.

Those types of masks are only really worn for long periods of time is surgery settings.

Now they are asking people to wear them all day and in hot working settings.
