Does anyone else pull their tongue out at people while wearing their mask?

Just for fun occasionally

I do 😉

Some great ideas on here.
I'll think of you all whilst I carry out various satisfying (and childish) actions. It'll make me laugh anyhow and I need more reasons to laugh right now.

No but I think I’m muttering and talking to myself more than usual when out - need to get out of that habit if/when we can throw the masks away!

No, but I do mouth fuck off on a regular basis while wearing a mask.

No. I'm not going out much so have no reason to be doing anything so childish.

Op, have you looked in a mirror to see what it looks like? I reckon you could get away with it whilst wearing a good quality fabric mask but I wouldn't risk doing it whilst wearing a paper mask.

No but for some reason when I have my mask on I subconsciously open my mouth very wide and keep it open, almost like I'm at the dentist. It's strange.

I do this too. I think it's to try and stop it riding up over my eyes.

yes, a few times. You do have to be careful not to frown at people though - I can still see when someones frowning even with the mask on and its easiest to forget that. Also, as someone else said, I do a muc more exagerated smile now so people can see Im smiling even with a mask. The problem with that is you get in the habit of it and end up smiling like a maniac even when not wearing a mask. Which makes me look like a crazy person :(

I'm like that, it must be because subconsciously you think you can't breathe. Although I open and shut mine like a bloody goldfish.

I a lot for little things and realise that that is probably going totally unappreciated.

That was meant to say I SMILE a lot - now my post doesn't make any sense Blush

@Callcat

I don't, but I do mouth swear words at people's dick behaviour and also mouth sing songs 😆

Yep. It’s a good thing no one can read minds.

@midnightstar66 I was thinking exactly the same thing about pull your tongue out Grin

No but wearing a mask I can sing/mouth the words to music or mumble to myself in public without people thinking I'm bonkers.

It probably looks even more bonkers to be fair - before it would be obvious you were singing along but not it will just look like you have an odd twitch/making strange faces 😆

I have honestly never heard the phrase pull your tongue out and I've lived all over the Uk and abroad, I did figure she must mean stick your tongue out but it doesn't really make much sense! But no I don't do I that they sit pretty close to your face and I don't fancy making them any more wet and germy than they are already getting from your breath. I a lot for little things and realise that that is probably going totally unappreciated.

Hilarious that people are pretending not to understand the phrase! We'll I'm an adult but I still think that muttering something inappropriate under your breath is the only thing that makes wearing a mask in shops fun.

"put" your tongue out makes more sense (though "stick" is what I would always use: it goes with the concept better). Maybe OP has just always misheard?

I don't do that, but I have frequently yawned hugely Grin

Come on, those going on about pulling your tongue with your hand, you know exactly what the op meant!

No. I've never heard sticking your tongue out referred to as pulling your tongue out. It makes no sense. Maybe it is a regional thing and I just wasn't aware.

Ds tells me he does at school. He also likes being able to yawn in lessons.
