Whether you agree with them or not... do you?

My lady tash is coming on lovely. But only I can appreciate it.

LockdownLump · 11/09/2020 19:07

I also think people who are worried about looking like 'dicks', are the type who are far too bothered about what other people think, or think everyone is looking at them cos it's all about ME ME ME..

MrsMigginsPie · 11/09/2020 19:08

fourtea definitely! I reckon that my eyes are working overtime on expressiveness. I notice I really crinkle my eyes to smile or express very wide eyes when expressing ‘oooohhh!’ 😁 I could probably be on the stage!

speakout · 11/09/2020 19:09

No - because everyone else is wearing a mask.

Ashdownstar · 11/09/2020 19:09

I love mine. I have several different designs, to reflect different moods. Most people are wearing them, so no need to feel like a dick.

RingtheBells · 11/09/2020 19:09

It’s handy if I can’t be bothered to put my false teeth in

IamTomHanks · 11/09/2020 19:09

Nope. Been wearing them since May where we are. The dicks are the people who won't cover their nose.

SandysMam · 11/09/2020 19:10

When I put my mask on and see others in masks it really makes me manically grin!!! I just can’t believe this is our reality. Luckily I am wearing a mask so no one can tell Grin

lovemelongtime · 11/09/2020 19:11

No, the dicks are the ones without them on.

Saucery · 11/09/2020 19:11

No, but I did when very few people were wearing them.
I have some custom made in fabric which are comfy and cool.

PurBal · 11/09/2020 19:12

No. And it keeps my nose warm.

S111n20 · 11/09/2020 19:13

This made me laugh so much because yes I do. Even though everyone else is wearing them. Me and my sister went shopping and both said we felt like twats.

Lansonmaid · 11/09/2020 19:14

Nope, got an Exeter Chiefs one that both fits well and indicates that I support a rather good rugby team...

RingtheBells · 11/09/2020 19:14

I’m looking forward to winter when I can wear a big hooded coat, glasses and pulled high mask and scarf

LavaSpider · 11/09/2020 19:14

I rather like mine. My dark soulful (so I've been told) eyes are my best feature and my bristly chin my worst.
Plain black always though, no cheery flowers / liberty print.

SisterAgatha · 11/09/2020 19:15

Not at all. I don’t get told to smile by dickheads, no one can see me grimace or mutter obscenities, and I don’t have to wear make up. It’s win win. Anyone who feels like a dickhead must have a very fragile ego.

JamSarnie · 11/09/2020 19:16

Yes I do and I think others look an idiot as well. I wear one to comply but I don't want to because a lot of our expressions are in our face. It's so emotionless and no matter all the 'you smile with your eyes' it does not make up for the fact that you can't see people speak.

RoseTintedAtuin · 11/09/2020 19:16

@PurBal same here! My nose is always cold during winter

Wiredforsound · 11/09/2020 19:16

No, the people not wearing them look like dicks, but let’s face it, they don’t care.

FourTeaFallOut · 11/09/2020 19:17

Oh, I'd be doing well if the effect came off as being ready for the stage @MrsMigginsPie, unfortunately I suspect I'm more in the range of your average manic children's TV presenter.

ClementineWoolysocks · 11/09/2020 19:18

I'm having a pretty bad breakout on my chin, masks are great for hiding it!

Kidneybingo · 11/09/2020 19:18

No. And I can still judge expressions.

JenniferSantoro · 11/09/2020 19:18

@W00t

Anyway, nope, I don't. No-one can see me mouth breathing, so I like them! or my double chin
Not to mention the fact that you can go shopping looking like a sack of shit and no one can see your face. Win win!!
Lindy2 · 11/09/2020 19:18

No - I feel like a responsible adult.

The people without masks are dicks.

Srictlybakeoff · 11/09/2020 19:18

No. But I do cover my nose. It’s people with masks just over their mouths or round their chins that look like dickheads .( and are dickheads)
