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
