Verbally attacked for not wearing a mask

[8catsaremycoven]

Wow, had a great experience in Lidl today - I was verbally abused and intimidated by a bloke in his 40s for not wearing a mask.

I'm minding my own business, choosing some fruit for DHS when random angry bloke walks past and hisses "You should be wearing a mask ". He doesn't stop and ask me directly why I'm not wearing a mask, just walks past me and says it in an undertone.

I catch up with him because he's browsing and tell him I'm exempt because I'm asthmatic. Apparently anyone can claim to be exempt and it's my personal fault that people are dying?! I told him that I wished that I was able to wear a mask to protect myself if nothing else, he just carried on ranting at me. No security guards in the store, other shoppers just stood and watched. I ended up crying in frustration and walking away.

I can't wear a mask because of my asthma but I also suffer from PTSD because an XH put a pillow over my face and raped me.

Am I expected to explain everything to anyone?

YABU - get over everything, risk a major asthma attack and wear a mask

YANBU - asthma is enough to excuse me from wearing a mask let alone my other reasons, which I don't feel I should have to explain to anyone

Bring it on, I'm sure someone is going to roast me but I truly hope that you're going to be behind me.

I left the shop shaking and in tears

DC3 - Not sure I am the one who has misunderstood!

Well given that my BUPA Consultant explained exactly what I have written, to me in almost the exact same words just this morning I'd say you're very wrong love! Do a bit of research in future

@JingsMahBucket Do NOT tell me what to do.

Yes jings. Definitely seems that way. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Verdict: No evidence to support this claim*

Yes dear!

[quote JingsMahBucket]@8catsaremycoven the OP doesn’t seem to be answering the visor question because she’s likely anti-mask and possibly made up this whole story.[/quote]
Ah you're a troll hunter! Reported

@DC3Dakota, the evidence Is that visors don’t work as well which is why we are no longer permitted to wear them. Weirdly, no one here protested, I think we had got so used to masks and seeing our numbers fall it was a no-brainer

But, OP just get a visor to manage other people being mean to you.

[quote DC3Dakota]@JingsMahBucket I'm not spamming anything, I'm defending the OP and answering the multiple posters who keep passive aggressively asking why OP can't wear a visor! I'm exempt as well and my Doctor explained the issue with visors.[/quote]
Stop it 'love'. Please get your research from WHO. Not your 'Bupa consultant' apparently.

@MasksGlovesSoapScrubs Oh so you know more than a Respiratory Consultant now do you?! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣🤣

@MasksGlovesSoapScrubs I think I'll believe what a well respected doctor advises me over some random online! 👍🏻 You keep troll hunting if it gives you your thrills! 🤷🏼‍♀️

You literally are the only troll.. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️.
Also... you will believe your consultant over a random online as you say but copied and pasted your message loads of times. So people are meant to believe what you say being a random person online? Doesn't quite make sense that does it.... 🤭

DC3 - You are the random online! Lets hope that you get the word out as I have seen quite a lot of footage of doctors wearing visors and it's going to be very awkward if they keep passing out every few minutes.

The visor's positioning means that the Carbon Dioxide you breathe out, (like every human on the planet does) bounces off the visor and becomes what you then breathe back in - instead of oxygen!! I wore one for 5 mins the other day and fainted!

Why doesn't that happen to motorcyclists zooming up and down our major roads? Those helmets are far more enclosed than the plastic visors I've seen. My dentist wears a mask plus a visor. I don't buy that they starve you if oxygen.

DC will be back in 5. She's passed out from wearing a visor for 5 minutes. 😴

Nothing has been made up by me. It doesn't take Einstein to know that Re-breathing CO2 or anything instead of oxygen causes issues for people with respiratory issues for god's sake!

What in the actual f is Qanon???

Because I have Cystic Fibrosis you hugely insensitive person...

Magic

If you as an adult decide that you can’t wear a mask it is nobody else’s business

Well it is if you follow them about trying to talk to them. I'd be inclined to tell a non mask wearer to back off.

Oh now there's the drip. Shut up DC. That poster didn't know your medical history did they. Get gone ffs.

Your reading comprehension is not great is it?

I'M TALKING ABOUT THOSE OF US WHO ARE EXEMPT DUE TO RESPIRATORY ISSUES!!!!!!

Drip?! How the hell am I drip feeding this isn't my thread ffs! 🤣

Please just leave. You're just causing unnecessary drama, picking on people's posts and derailing OP's thread

It doesn't take a genius to know that a visor is not going to change the air content around it as it is not a sealed unit regardless of whether you have CF or not. It's the droplets that get stopped, not the gasses.
