I was just in Lidl and waiting behind a man loading his shopping at the check out.
He suddenly pulled his mask down to his chin and did an almighty sneeze all over the conveyor belt then popped his mask back up and carried on as before.
Wtf!

I saw a woman in the supermarket pull down her mask to cough.

The majority of masks are so flimsy as to be useless however they're worn, a few layers of thin fabric is not going to stop very much.

The woman who delivers medication to my work wears hers under her nose and then gets offended when I ask her to put it on properly when I deal with deliveries.

She works for a pharmacy FFS.

It’s still has to be better than spewing your saliva and God only knows what else all over a supermarket conveyor belt!

I call that Dick Nose, I see a lot of it where I live. Morons.

Dick nose, ha ha. Yes it's really annoying. No point wearing a mask if you wear it under your nose.
A bit like no pint wearing a plastic face shield without a mask. It won't stop your breath getting out.

myBumJuiceSmellsLikeRoses · 06/01/2021 16:46

no pint? oh dear.

That is gross, but I had to sneeze in Tesco yesterday and I must admit, I don't know what the official guidance is - are you supposed to temporarily remove/lower your mask (illegal) to catch the sneeze in a hanky/tissue (as I did) or are you legally required to project the lot violently into your face-covering and then walk around with a snot-filled mask and dripping nose until you leave the shop? I don't think Boris has actually clarified on these circumstances yet.
