I was kicked out of a store today for refusing to wear a mask. The girl (I’m guessing, always hard to tell with these people) handed me a mask as I walked in. I continued to walk without putting it on my face. She FOLLOWED me and, causing a scene, told me I needed to put it on my face or leave. I turned around, dropped the mask on the floor and walked out leaving my boyfriend standing there with his mask on. I’m DONE with this.
Side note: I also witnessed a man wearing gloves use hand sanitizer today... on the gloves. I’m fucking done. Get me out of this nightmare.
Something fun that I swear to do but haven’t yet (if there’s somewhere I know will make me wear a mask but for whatever reason I don’t want to make a scene, like taking my kid to the library) is to bring my paint respirator and wear that. Then when people inevitably comment on it I’ll tell them that they aren’t being careful enough with their paper masks that can’t block aerosols.
