WTF Mask rage

[Isabeau]

Also, I don’t know if anyone else does this but I often talk “out loud” or sing while wearing a mask outside knowing no one will see my lips move.

ex.

“Wow... who parks like that?” or “Jeez.. tomatoes are still expensive this week.”, etc.

I did. Once. Then spent the next ten minutes searching for the hearing aid the ear loop sent rocketing into space.

Yep, laughing about this one because mine are over the ears now too and the mask loops just play havoc with them. Plus on top of that I wear glasses and to add to that I have apparently, really tiny ears. In fact, they had to fit me with a child's hearing aid instead of an adults. Add to that the mask loops and it's chaos.

 

[Isabeau]

I feel terrible for laughing at both of you but I never thought of that. How annoying for you!

Trouble erupted in line behind me yesterday, waiting to enter trader joe's.

Some agitated geezer in a painter's filter mask (which probably does squat for catching exhaled particles) got in line 5 spots behind me.

He started by loudly asking if people wanted to be entertained. Insistently. He pulls out his phone, takes off his mask and invades the personal space of the big guy in front of him, trying to make him watch some stupid video. The guy backs away, says something quietly... And the old guy loses his shit. "6 feet?! How about 6 feet ... Underground!!? That make you happy? They're not 6 feet apart over there!" What? Did you say something about my mask? Nothing? That's right! you better keep your fecking mouth shut!"

I couldn't make it what followed but people mostly just turned away from him.

A store manager and two other staffers came out and stood by the entrance. Angry Codger simmered down pretty quickly after that. Guess he wanted his groceries slightly more than asserting his alpha silverback status.

I can’t help thinking about how for so long and to many, what makes a man a man is his ability to fight (be physically strong) and also how he still can get “it” up. Fists and cock. How scary it must be for them to grow old. Just as in women, for many, their sense of self is tied to their physical appearance and their ability to bear children. Sexiness and uterus.

All this “woke” business seems for them like a direct attack. You can be dumb as a rock, poor, unknown or near the bottom of (their idea of) society’s ladder, but being able to punch you, bully you makes them still better in their eyes.

Add white and Christian and a president who thinks the same way ...

My spouse uses masks that attach behind her head to avoid that. I knocked my glasses off a few times so now use straps on my glasses.

I absolutely got that vibe from him. "I'm still a force to be reckoned with! RAWR!! /airpunch /airpunch"

Whatever keeps despair at bay I suppose.

 

[Argent Stonecutter]

I don't generally realize I'm still wearing my mask in the car until I've driven for a bit, sometimes I get all the way home before I take it off.

"Don't go shooting your mouth off" has never been so literal.

That can't be genuine, surely? I don't know how much a small, loaded, handgun weighs, but I can't imagine having one strapped to the side of your head for any length of time, with your neck having to support the whole of its weight on the one side, would be very comfortable.

Nor do I understand the advantages of keeping wearing your handgun there rather than, more conventionally, on your belt or under your shoulder.

It's obviously an over top "work of art." But if they could make sense out of it they would, because it would TOTALLY OWN THE LIBS.

 

[Kara Spengler]

They just want someone to ask them to remove their mask. Of course if someone did they would object to the gun in the holster, not the holster.

It is a FU to liberals wanting them to wear masks.

I’m not sure if it’s rage but...

SNEK! SNEK!

Err .... what was that?

The gun could fail to explode as intended? At least they are buildt in with a fail safe - they still give away an idiot.
