Random guy at the grocery store came up to me when I was with the kid. We were just doing our regular shopping and I was explaining to the boy why they call it cottage cheese when the guy behind me started to say something. I turned around and he said, "It's really great to see you guys out here without a mask on." Then he held his hand out to give me a fist bump. We chatted for a short minute and he said, "Maybe I should just take this stupid thing off too." Lowered his mask and told me, "Something strange is going on with all of this" then fist bumped again and said our goodbyes.

Felt so good finally to hear someone else in person say something like that. Just wanted to tell you guys since I had nobody else to tell.

I started a second job last week. We don't wear masks. I fucking love how no one even mentions it there. And then when I go to a restaurant or a gas station, there are people behind plexi glass, wearing surgical facemasks, gloves, and hazmat suits. Its a fucking weirdo parellelo world we're living in.

So, why do they call it cottage cheese?

It is called a lot of different things in other countries but the English version of it is commonly thought to be a reference to the cheese they would make with the leftover milk from cottages after making butter on the farm.

Don't get me started on the history of cottage cheese, we haven't covered that lesson in grocery store homeschool class yet. Have a happy day, pede.

Yep. Had to take a flight a few weeks ago. The loophole is that you can keep the mask off if you’re eating or drinking. Guess who was nibbling on something the entire flight?

Also, I’ve realized that the mandates only work to the extent that anyone is capable of enforcing them. My mask stayed off in the airport unless someone was actually looking at me

True story here too: Have not worn a mask since it was decreed. Go into stores all the time. Today, at Lowe’s, another gent had, gulp, no mask. I promptly greeted him and said, “Excellent choice to go maskless” and he said, “It’s damn good to see a smiling face for once out and about”

The turned tables...

There's something about seeing people being happy that makes other people happy.

There's a reason we have so many muscles in our face.

same here, my son and I go grocery shopping together and we're of the few that don't wear masks...Nobody says a peep but a few of the other men give us a nod like "fuck these masks right" even when they are with their wife/gf that is wearing a mask.

I spit out my coffee at the cottage cheese part. Felt like I was listening to Hank Hill.
