it is really odd what a person can get annoyed at..a perfect stranger, you will never ever see again for the most part..who gives a flying rats-ass what they do? i saw a guy yelling at an older lady wearing a mask while driving solo in her car. it really bothered him. makes you wonder about a guy with that much anger. |
Yeah, people get mad over the weirdest things.
If I run to the store, it's 1/4 mile down the road. I wear my mask. It's easier to leave it on than to take it off and put it back on when I park. If I got to someplace 2-3 miles down the road, I'm probably going to take my mask off when I get in the car and put it back on when I park (assuming I don't forget that I'm wearing it which has happened a couple of times).
I've also seen videos online of folks going off on people that were separated from everyone else. A couple having a picnic away from everyone else, and a crazy woman approached them and pepper sprayed them. Or some other chick with her boyfriend that threw a cup of coffee at a couple of dudes that were hanging out by themselves.
I was going to say, people have lost their minds, but the real deal is that there's now a particular catalyst that is exposing those folks who lost their minds a long time ago.
Initially, I started wearing a mask because my wife wanted me to. I wasn't too concerned (and I'm still not), but it makes her happy. Also, it's no skin off my back to wear a mask and maybe keep myself and/or my family healthy and happy and others.
I'm not a germaphobe, but I do use the paper towel that I dry my hands off with in a public restroom to open the door to get out. I occasionally, depending upon the door location/use, will use an odd part of the handle to open the door. IE, most folks use the central part of a long handle to open a door, but I may use the top or bottom. I may also use my foot or knee to open a door.
