In and out...1 item...kept my sunglasses on. I hate that i am shaking.
I still gotta put it on at work...ugh....thats why i sometimes work from home even though im way more productive in the office....legit mask anxiety. I feel suffocated. F masks!!!!
That’s what my goal is. But if some dumbass confronts me, ugh....i don’t want to cry.
Put on a brave face and carry yourself like a boss because that's what you are.
Seriously. I walk in like I am the CEO and own the place. Walk like there is nothing abnormal about what you are doing to the point that you don’t even notice glances. Smile at them and pretend they are maskless.
Sort of a reverse gaslight. “I am sane and everyone else is a little crazy, but ok I will put up with you...”
Immediately greeting the person who's suppose to stop you also goes over pretty well. "Hey, how's your day going" catches them off guard as you keep on walking like it's a normal day.
It sucks because someone has put a rule on me, and something in my avatar wants to just conform. My face got red and i was shaking with i “broke the rules”. Fucking trippy.
I am actually a boss, given the right environment...
Just ignore. You aren't doing anything wrong.
I go in to all shops maskless, very rarely does anyone say a word, if they do I calmly ignore or say "no thanks" and move on.
Don't make a mountain out of a mole hill, you did this every year up to now.
That's what I do as well. If someone says something, I just say, "no thank you" & walk away from them. If they were to persist, then I would just leave the store.
It really depends on where you are. I've been yelled at for having it ON my nose but not all the way covering my nose. They will legit ask you to leave and won't let you in even with an exemption.
Very liberal areas are hard to just not wear one.
This is for your growth. Rules not grounded in natural law lack standing. You have jurisdiction over your health in public. You are getting stronger every day
there are less mask nazis out there than you might think, my brother had the first crazy yell at him the other day and neither have of us have worn a mask even once ever since the beginning of this garbage, my brother didn't even flinch and the screeching psychopath was asked to leave. I've only ever had employees of various stores ask me to wear a mask, I usually just say no and nothing else happens after that, another one you can try is simply telling people you have a medical exemption from wearing one. Works just the same, they don't have anything to say after that and you just keep on with your business
It's gotta start somewhere! Soon everyone will be like YOU?
Given the right environment huh? I can guess where that is, and I like the picture.
Practice your responses to mask nazis:
Do you have a mask? "No"
Can you put one on? "No"
(Usually this is the end).
You're killing grandma. "You should eat healthier."
You need to wear one. "I have an exception."
MOST people don't want confrontation as much as you don't want confrontation. Show your resolve, and most people won't push.
If they want you to leave, well, this is America (technically... Maybe...) and you can take your hard earned money elsewhere.
Remember that most of the people that confront you don't want to confront you and their hearts are beating just as hard as yours. They do not know the laws, except HIPPA. If they keep pressing you just turn to them, look them in the eyes, and say "if you continue this conversation with me, you are violating HIPPA laws." and walk away. I worked in a grocery store for 16 years. These people don't want to talk to you as much as you don't want you to talk to them. Occasionally you'll come across some loser that things they are AMAZING at their job and will try to confront you because they feel like their bosses will back them up... trust me, they will fall over if you act confident.
I'm assuming you're a woman, right? Insert sexist reply here.
Its a valid question...im super emotional
We bought face shields, the clear ones? I don't wear masks in stores but I put that thing on our of curiosity (you really kinda forget it's there) and it was actually funny to see people looking shocked, jealous, then you could see the gears turning in their heads while they plan to get their own clear shield.
It defeats the faceless thing... You can smile at people and talk.
Even Costco allows them and sells them, and they've been hard core on masks the whole time!
I just throw on a set of headphones and crank them up. I cant even hear them yelling. They eventually get annoyed chasing me around the store talking to my back. I'm a fast walker lol.
But you are a woman, yes?
...... What are you doing?
or do cry. you know like fake convulse. the whole nine yards
