I work in South Korea. Everyone here wears masks even when they are outside. I've seen joggers running with masks. It's crazy. You can sit inside a coffee shop without one, but God forbid you get seen outdoors without one. It's the most insane version of group think I've ever seen. My boss' dad was a politician, she knows how they can lie and previously I appreciated her level of critical thinking. But now... I refuse to wear a mask outside. She saw me on the street and asked me to put it on. i refused. I was reamed out for being unscientific and reckless. I didn't budge. Even if I thought masks work, I do not see the benefit of wearing one 24/7.
Just needed to vent a little. I'm leaving Korea soon, so quiting my job atm is not an option. Like I said, just needed to vent.
I wear one at work. Badly.
I refuse to wear one anywhere else and I have been screamed at a few times.
I just ignore them and carry on doing what I am doing.
Hahaha your first line is exactly what I do too, a cloth one tied with string behind my head. Sits 2cm away from my nose.
I drop it below my nose when I'm inside a place that requires a mask. I haven't been asked about it yet, but if someone asks, I'll say, "I can't breath when the mask covers both my nose and mouth" :)
