I had to wear one once when I went into a state government office. It was one of the plain blue/white ones with the blue on the outside and white on the inside - the crappy ones. Before I went I very carefully cut out the white piece so all that was left was the blue. Turns out the blue side is basically a mesh - you could see my face easily through the mask. My wife was pissed because she thought I would get in trouble (or worse) but the person we had to deal with just glared at me (he was probably pissed he didn't think of it himself). I was following "the rules" and there wasn't a damn thing anyone could do about it.
That was the only time I wore one. If I went to a store or a doctor or wherever and they told me to put a mask on I either left or just ignored them.
I was tempted to make a mask our of a piece of screen :) I think I saw that someone was selling masks that WERE essentially screens, but looked like regular masks; sort of like buses with those window coatings that you can't see through from the outside, but can see out from the inside.
