I overheard this conversation today and made me laugh. Mask user: You there! Where’s you mask? Teenager: I am scared to wear one in case I can’t breath.
Mask user: Don’t be stupid. Of course you can breath with the mask on. Fucking idiot. Teenager: So you can breath when the mask is really tight round your mouth?
Mask user: That’s right. No problem. Teenager: Then if the air can get through, how is the mask supposed to stop a virus?
After a few seconds while the mask user contemplates this response the teenager follows up: who’s the fucking idiot now then? And casually walks off ????
Teenagers growing up with more sense than their antecedent millennials is significant hopium. A sage piece of advice from a friend last year, before I was about to start a social work job, was to just be myself, as kids can smell bullshit a mile off. It worked.
That's adorable! I think I'm going to pronounce it that way if I have to say that word. Honestly, just hearing the word mas-kiss gets me immediately agitated.
We just call them maskholes.
Public mask-debaters. Sick!
