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

I quite like it - makes me worry less about how I look!

timetest · 11/09/2020 19:19

No. I feel like I’m doing my little bit.

Pelleas · 11/09/2020 19:19

No. I can smile without showing my horrible uneven teeth.

ThatDamnScientist · 11/09/2020 19:19

Nope, why would I?

ThatDamnScientist · 11/09/2020 19:20

@Srictlybakeoff

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)
Agree with this!
MythicalBiologicalFennel · 11/09/2020 19:20

Not at all. Why would you?

Oh and in terms of looks wearing a mask is an improvement for me.

TwoZeroTwoZero · 11/09/2020 19:20

No, I feel uncomfortable and too hot in it.

WhoWants2Know · 11/09/2020 19:20

To be honest, I don't even notice I'm wearing them now, and most of the time I forget to take it off when I leave the building.

@LimeTreeGrove

No i forgot to pluck my chin whiskers so was happy to wear it

Ha ha, me too. Also I can mumble and talk to myself and no one notices.
Rhoobarbandraspberries · 11/09/2020 19:22

No, but now that my entire family has had seasonal flu (not Covid we had to get tested as so ill with it) despite wearing them at all times outside the house, I am beginning to question the value of them...

DappledThings · 11/09/2020 19:22

Yep. I'm wearing it wherever required without complaint but yes I do still feel like I look like a twat in it.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 11/09/2020 19:22

I feel gangsta when I catch my reflection in a window, despite wearing a flowery mask. Grin When I went into a shopping centre for the first time since January I felt like I was in a futuristic/disaster movie because everyone over the age of about 10 was compliant with mask wearing.

MagicSummer · 11/09/2020 19:23

Cannot bear the damn things - as soon as I get through the door of a shop, off it comes. By the way OP, I like that you don't want to use crude language. It makes a refreshing change.

BravoBilly · 11/09/2020 19:24

Nope

MrsJThornton · 11/09/2020 19:24

No, I did before they were compulsory, when I was in the minority wearing one, but feel safer and almost normal now that everyone is wearing them

nonnocere · 11/09/2020 19:24

Yes, I feel like a complete dick when wearing a mask.

I hate them.

They make my glasses steam up.

I am not afraid of catching anything, which is just as well, as masks are also disgustingly unhygienic as well as dickish so if I catch anything, it will be the mask to blame.

notacooldad · 11/09/2020 19:25

What about you OP?
How do you feel?

Readandwalk · 11/09/2020 19:25

No because I work in a school with 1500 people wearing them all day.

fourquenelles · 11/09/2020 19:25

No. I picked up my old boys ashes from the vet this morning and ugly cried all the way on the walk home. The mask was a blessing.

wasgoingmadinthecountry · 11/09/2020 19:26

If you can't breathe, look at the mask brackets on Amazon. Makes breathing/seeing through glasses a lot easier.

awesmum · 11/09/2020 19:26

I did. Now I don't.
I hate my mouth so actually prefer it.

Staffy1 · 11/09/2020 19:27

Yes.

enjoyingscience · 11/09/2020 19:27

I love it. I’ve got a big old nose, a mole of my face and a generally bitchy look. Now no one can tell! Fabulous.

Srictlybakeoff · 11/09/2020 19:28

You can also mouth all sorts of insults at the dickheads not wearing their masks properly , and they don’t realise .
