There's a coffeeshop I frequent, it's pretty laid back and no one is really wearing their masks at their tables (go figure). I AM in Louisiana, so it's not that bad.
So I decided to skip wearing my mask as I walked out and to my car. I was wearing my camo USA/Trump cap and that's probably what Karen saw first, because she stood shaking her head at me and keeping her distance as I walked down the few stairs to the parking lot. I wasn't even registering her until I heard her mumble: "And no mask..." She really only forgot to call me "deplorable".
I hadn't even realized until I'd gotten into my car that I was being judged and I was kicking myself for missing an opportunity to educate the ignorant. Anyway, I was happy to finally count myself amongst you fine patriots and had to share despite the self-congratulatory-ness of it all...
Knibb High Football Rules!
She was probably wearing stanky Birkenstocks with gnarly toenails, so it wouldn’t have been taken as kindness, but instead as mean-spirited sarcasm.
Which also would have been good.
That's a really great idea! I'll try to remember that if there's a next time. Tbh, it never occurred to me that I'd run into one based on where I am but there you go.
Exactly. They want to upset you, that's their goal. Don't take the bait and give them what they want.
