Do you not go out or do you choose not to wear one?

alltoomuchrightnow · 28/01/2021 19:18

I've just bought them for the first time but I've always worn. It's only because my work have stopped supplying now

gagaoolaalaa · 28/01/2021 19:18

Of course I go out, I wear them all day for work. I have just never had to actually buy one as I get them free daily in work.

Do you not go out or do you just refuse to wear one when out?

Iknowwhatudidlastsummer · 28/01/2021 19:19

What are you planning to do if you have some emergency and HAVE to go in a place where they are mandatory? Even if it's just a chemist or your GP?

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 28/01/2021 19:19

🙄🙄🙄

gagaoolaalaa · 28/01/2021 19:19

I wear one all the time! All day at work, in shops, out for walks! Always!!

Please don't tell me you wear the same manky mask all day in work and then to go shopping in it.
Peppermintgreen · 28/01/2021 19:21

Do your work give you them for free to wear in your own time too? Smile

Markies · 28/01/2021 19:21

Is there a point to this thread? Pathetic thing to boast about 🤷🏻‍♀️

Iknowwhatudidlastsummer · 28/01/2021 19:21

I get medical disposable ones from my office, I still bought a few in fabric. It's less wasteful, and enough to do the school pick up when we are outside anyway.

I would be embarrassed to add to the landfill when it really can be avoided and you stay outside and a few meters away from people anyway.

Riv · 28/01/2021 19:21

I’ve never bought one either, but I have made 50 or so from fabric I had in the house. Many have been given away but the family have at least 5 each.

gagaoolaalaa · 28/01/2021 19:21

@Towelrailfail of course not. I go through about 4/5 masks a day!!

OP posts:
gagaoolaalaa · 28/01/2021 19:21

@Peppermintgreen yes they come in packs of two. We are free to take them as we need them

I get free masks at work, but have never bought any as my mum made me a bundle of them!

Peppermintgreen · 28/01/2021 19:23

What is your job?

That's so wasteful and bad for the environment, nothing to be proud of.
It makes me sad to read your post

gagaoolaalaa · 28/01/2021 19:23

@Markies I'm not boasting (what an odd thing to say) I have just realised that I have never actually purchased a mask...that's all. Bloody hell can a person not start a simple conversation in here?

And you started this thread because...?

Eleoura · 28/01/2021 19:24

So you are stealing them from work for personal use???

blueluce85 · 28/01/2021 19:24

What a thing to be proud of.... Going through 4/5 masks a day when you could spend £10 and get a couple of reusable washable ones and help the planet....

that's not what you did and you know it Hmm
