Vaccinated. Building where I live back to masks in all common areas, and office just reinstated masks at all times. Bus/subway never removed their mask mandates. I wear a mask in any store I go into, and put it on if I’m walking on crowed streets.
Hi Renfield! It's good to hear from you, lady.
Fully vaccinated. I wear my mask pretty much all the time, sometimes when I'm outside, sometimes in the car, because I forget I have it on.
I see people out walking — no one else around but me across the street or a good distance away — wearing masks. I don’t see the need but if they feel they do, it’s none of my business.
(too bad most can’t mind their own damn business in general, but that’s another issue for another time)
As someone with OCD, my greatest fear is the idea that I'll spread it to someone and there'll be a chain-reaction of infections with some deaths sprinkled in. In the early days (i.e., last year), that had me wearing a mask on my daily 15-mile bike rides (though I'd pull it to my chin when nobody was around). So, like we've always said, you don't know what's going on with someone else and even if their reasoning doesn't turn out to be particularly rational, so be it. (And I know you didn't approach them and aren't particular worried about it, but some people are).
I walk the dog in an urban environment and I don't even have a mask on me anymore. But I do see a lot of them on faces and chins. Part of it is that they're required on buses. So people have to bring them and I'd be some just forget about them after they get off the bus because, well, it's a minor inconvenience. It's just so funny to me when someone gets visibly angry because they saw a guy wearing a mask in his car by himself. There are a few rational explanations, a few irrational explanations, and one response: "who gives a shit?"
Early in the mess, I was walking down the street with my mask on and a maskless guy walks towards me, gets within about five feet and says "you're outside; you don't need to wear a mask." Of course, his doing that tweaked my OCD. When people are going "too far" discomforting themselves for the greater good, just leave them alone. They really seem to think their very way of life is being threatened because someone's wearing a mask when not needed. Or maybe seeing them makes them aware of their own lack of willingness to sacrifice comfort for others. Either way, they need to keep it to themselves.

I wear a mask at work and sometimes I forget I even have it on. I have tried to take a drink of water a few times with it on. I walk laps outside in the parking lot at lunch time and have made it 3 or 4 minutes into my walk before remembering that the mask is still on. My wife has arrived home from work or the store and pulled up to the house still wearing hers after a 10 minute drive.

I will NEVER understand why people feel the need to butt into someone else's life and tell them NOT to wear something.
Maybe I should start walking around shouting at these folks:
"Hey pal, it's hot out, TAKE THOSE PANTS OFF AND PUT ON SHORTS, NOW!".
"IT'S DARK OUT. TAKE THAT BASEBALL CAP OFF!".
FUCK OFF.

It's off the thread topic, but I've gotten that from men before when I'm out running: "You don't need to be wearing gloves, it's too warm for them!" WTF dude, I have Raynaud's and that means if it's below 70, I'm wearing gloves.
I haven't had anyone give me grief about wearing a mask, then again we live in an area that's so mask-compliant that people kept wearing them after the mandate was lifted.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

You people who “forget you’re wearing a mask”? Crazy! Maybe you just get used to it, but it’s claustrophobic to me — especially if working out or the weather’s hot.

I think this may boil down to what people do every day. If you are outside and claustrophobic I don't know how you do it but my hats off to you for being vigilant.
Being inside an office with A/C its just on my face , I don't feel claustrophobic with it on so it just became such a normal think.
My wife who is a teacher and works at a summer camp has to wear one and she rips it off once she is in the car. I have to imaging it sucks when its 90+ and humid outside. If I worked outside I am sure I would never forget it is on my face.
I will NEVER understand why people feel the need to butt into someone else's life and tell them NOT to wear something.
Maybe I should start walking around shouting at these folks:
"Hey pal, it's hot out, TAKE THOSE PANTS OFF AND PUT ON SHORTS, NOW!".
"IT'S DARK OUT. TAKE THAT BASEBALL CAP OFF!".
FUCK OFF.
It's off the thread topic, but I've gotten that from men before when I'm out running: "You don't need to be wearing gloves, it's too warm for them!" WTF dude, I have Raynaud's and that means if it's below 70, I'm wearing gloves.
I haven't had anyone give me grief about wearing a mask, then again we live in an area that's so mask-compliant that people kept wearing them after the mandate was lifted.
People (well, men) feel surprisingly free to comment on what women are wearing and doing and how they are behaving.
agreed. I don't, but I see it all the time. it's fucking weird.

I was once told to "Smile!" in the last three miles of a half-marathon. While running with a GI bug. That dude got a very graphic explanation for why I didn't freaking feel like smiling at that particular moment.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

I’ve gotten that too. I just ignore them (unsmilingly!)

Nice that you found someone to read it to you, dumpling.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
Fully vaccinated. I wear my mask pretty much all the time, sometimes when I'm outside, sometimes in the car, because I forget I have it on.
@OffSheGoes35 And big hello to you! Will I be seeing you at any upcoming pj shows? I hope you are well.x
Why thank you! I will not be at any upcoming PJ shows. Kind of a recluse. If I'm not at home or work, there's like 3 places to search. I am well. I hope you are well.

Still off topic but my sympathies re Raynaud’s I drop stuff all day everyday. I don’t think I’ve felt my hands since 2016 😂 I guess wearing gloves in the summer is unconstitutional.

Very sorry to hear and hope that it is only a few days just happy they are vaxxed so its not as bad.
I walk the dog in an urban environment and I don't even have a mask on me anymore. But I do see a lot of them on faces and chins. Part of it is that they're required on buses. So people have to bring them and I'd be some just forget about them after they get off the bus because, well, it's a minor inconvenience. It's just so funny to me when someone gets visibly angry because they saw a guy wearing a mask in his car by himself. There are a few rational explanations, a few irrational explanations, and one response: "who gives a shit?"
Early in the mess, I was walking down the street with my mask on and a maskless guy walks towards me, gets within about five feet and says "you're outside; you don't need to wear a mask." Of course, his doing that tweaked my OCD. When people are going "too far" discomforting themselves for the greater good, just leave them alone. They really seem to think their very way of life is being threatened because someone's wearing a mask when not needed. Or maybe seeing them makes them aware of their own lack of willingness to sacrifice comfort for others. Either way, they need to keep it to themselves.

Oh yeah, thread integrity, the scorpion is vaccinated.
At the beginning, I too wore the mask while out walking — mainly because the sheriffs were allowed to ticket us if not, or if I encountered someone.
You people who “forget you’re wearing a mask”? Crazy! Maybe you just get used to it, but it’s claustrophobic to me — especially if working out or the weather’s hot.
My wife has that. We were down in Miami for the Orange Bowl in 2017 and it was in the 50s. The fingers on the hand she was holding a beer with turned white. Minnesota winters are rough for her. Just another great example of why people not hurting anyone else should be left alone. It's not your job to explain to every nosy jackass on the street why you're wearing gloves.
