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

No. I like hiding behind it. Grin

Disfordarkchocolate · 11/09/2020 20:06

No. Used to it now. I do feel hot and itchy though.

Givemeasign · 11/09/2020 20:08

@Hendalle that made me LOL

Hopeisnotastrategy · 11/09/2020 20:08

Mildly odd, but no more.

On the plus side, I'm saving a fortune on lipstick.😊

Sarjest · 11/09/2020 20:09

I rather enjoy talking to myself in mine!

bumble79 · 11/09/2020 20:09

Nope. When I first started wearing one I did and dreaded it and now I'm like whatevs. People who don't wear them (obviously not those who are exempt) look like dicks imo.

Livelovebehappy · 11/09/2020 20:10

Nope. Love that I can nip out to the shop without putting make up on. And no-one recognises me so i can whiz round the supermarket without having to converse with anyone I know when I’m in a rush.

EstuaryBird · 11/09/2020 20:12

I’ve got some really nice ones now 😊. Particularly like my Guns n’ Roses that I got from America....and nobody looking at me know I’m 65 😂

gumball37 · 11/09/2020 20:12

I just don't like that people can't see me smiling or mouthing thank you. But otherwise I have no issues.

I so agree the dicks aren't wearing them. And the ones that give you a cocky look as you are wearing yours make me want to punch them in the face

I feel like I should be a bank robber from a western movie. They definitely needed these masks. Much better than a bandana!

Maybe I should be miming “Gimme all your money or I’ll shoot”

onemorecupofcoffeefortheroad · 11/09/2020 20:14

Yes, i do. But I wear one anyway. But yes I feel like a dick

Honeybeexo · 11/09/2020 20:14

Did at first, getting used to them now, being a shop worker

TinkersTailor · 11/09/2020 20:15

It was bright and cold this morning so I had my hood up, sunglasses and mask on.
Looked like I was casing the joint. Grin

Off you fuck then, Jon.

forgetthehousework · 11/09/2020 20:17

No.
And when I said to someone "I'm smiling behind this" she replied "I can see you are, your eyes are smiling".
Made my day.

Ravenesque · 11/09/2020 20:18

No. I like trying to get hold of different patterns and playing with my eye makeup which I haven't done for years. I find it quite fun. Obviously I also find it a bit uncomfortable, but by making it a new accessory to have fun with the discomfort becomes secondary.

TinkersTailor · 11/09/2020 20:19

@jon1perry Can we help you mate? Are you lost? Have you just come across MN? Or have you deliberately found us to be a cunt?

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 11/09/2020 20:20

No, I don't mind them.

Hides my chins and I like the brightly colored ones I can wear out of work.

Not so keen on the surgical masks we have to wear at work, they are sweaty and scratchy after a few hours!

Chloemol · 11/09/2020 20:20

No

Kazakaren · 11/09/2020 20:22

Wow! You can tell this site has been made by women for women. It's difficult to navigate, unpredictable & at times makes less sense than a box of frogs. AIBU? Who cares! It's life. Get on with it.

Off you go Jon. It's past your bedtime dear.

TheSeedsOfADream · 11/09/2020 20:22

Oooh it's a MENZ.
What shall we doooooo.

WhatamessIgotinto · 11/09/2020 20:25

No, I don't care.

rottiemum88 · 11/09/2020 20:25

No, infact I feel like I've become a lot more photogenic since mask wearing became a thing. Evidently it was my mouth ruining it for the rest of my face in all the photos Grin

catgirl1976 · 11/09/2020 20:26

I love mine simply because I don't get told to "smile love"

I may keep it post-Covid
