Stop taking the fucking piss out of my mask.

[Snagscardies]

It seems to be middle aged overweight men that have the most problem, or the rudeness to say something /point and laugh. Is that because they know they are more at risk so seeing me masked up makes them uncomfortable?
I wear it in any enclosed space including cars as I have to drive other peoples cars for work. I know the studies are limited but there does seem consensus that it will at least stop me spreading it if I'm asymptomatic.
Just going to a car and a man said 'why a you fucking wearing that' and laughed at me. Why?

Draw some big sharp teeth on it.

Because some people are obnoxious.

Just going to a car and a man said 'why a you fucking wearing that' and laughed at me.

You could ask "Why you fucking aren't wearing this?" but he's twat and better not encouraged in his twattery.

And because masks dont really offer protection

Joke will be on them when the second wave hits and going my what's started to happen in other countries who are ahead of us that's already started.

And it will and to be fair most people will be fine as stats show I'm not all doom and gloom. But for those of us with health issues I don't care what people think I look after me and mine.

Should have told him you have Ebola.

Just start coughing, that should shut them up.

Tell them you're allergic to arseholes...then cough and say, "Oh, there it goes again."

Oh yes, the fabled second wave that some people seem to be excited for.

Took DS to the doctor's today for his 1 year jabs, and had to ring the doorbell to get in. The receptionist came out and said "Oh thank goodness. You're the first person I haven't had to tell to put a mask on."

I think the people who are 'exercising their right not to wear a mask' are poking fun at others in public because they inevitably would be blamed if there were another spike and it's much easier to say "you look a twat" than to say "I care about your safety".

I find this quite hard to believe tbh. Loads of people are wearing masks round here, and those at aren't - just arent. No comments either way.

I've had a bit of good natured teasing from people because of the stupid hi-vis vest I have to wear but that's it.

Most people where I live (a Gloucestershire town), are wearing masks.

The second wave is like a wet dream to some people

I went out the other day and was so surprised at the lack of masks. I was one of the very few people wearing them.

I’m not wearing a mask - it’s not the law. I don’t laugh at people wearing one, just like I don’t expect to me mocked for not wearing one.

My asthma makes it difficult to wear a mask. Asthma attack and hospitalisation.

I’m not wearing a mask and have noticed people who do seem to think they’re invincible and don’t need to social distance.

@VeganVeal And because masks dont really offer protection
AAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHH!!! Until we educate this out of everyone we are going to lag behind everywhere else in getting rid of Covid 19. When the OP wears a mask, she protects the people around her. In order for her to be protected, others around her need to wear masks. Wearing a mask is an altruistic measure - in order for them to work to protect anyone at all, the majority of people must wear them in order to prevent inadvertent transmission of Covid when they do not know they have it before they show symptoms.

The ignorant repetition “I’m not wearing a mask because it won’t protect me” is holding back a faster recovery for the country. The government foolishly allowed the perception that there is little point in wearing a mask because it does not protect the wearer to seep through our entire society purely because they had foolishly not kept in enough stocks for health workers in the event of a pandemic, and did not want the public taking stocks that medics would need. Countries where mask-wearing was enforced or adopted early on have avoided the explosion in the number of Covid cases the UK has struggled under. The British Medical Association is at a loss as to why we did not adopt it as a strategy sooner, and why, if we are to adopt in now, we are not making it happen until the 15th June.

I had that. I pulled it down and (from a distance) shouted 'more fool you mate, it's for your protection, I work in a school'
He looked panicked

I had a comment from an older man, why he felt the need to say something I don't know. Other people were wearing them, I wasn't the only one.

I've worn a mask / face covering In Germany for weeks, because it's the law (shops, public transport, taxis etc)

When it becomes law in the UK too, then reaction will change and it will become the new normal, to enable lockdown to be relaxed.

Kids here didn't stress when teachers wore masks,
because they had got used to seeing masks everywhere

Honestly, I think people look like twats when they are alone in a car and wearing a mask, it makes no sense. Out and about in public, fair enough.

But to actually question, and swear at a stranger for anything inoffensive that they’re wearing, then this bloke is clearly a twat all the time.

All the people thinking that if they make fun of the second wave it won't happen - it's a bit like a perverted reverse Tinkerbell or something.

Why did you feel the need to say they are overweight? Are you insulting them by saying that? You must be otherwise you wouldn’t say it

I'm confused. Is your mask a regular, plain type, or is there something funny/rude/scary on the front of it that makes people laugh???

I'm in London, and maybe 30% of people are wearing masks just on the street, in supermarkets etc. I haven't seen anyone laughing at others or saying a thing. A bit weird to wear one in a car, just because someone has previously drive it though!

@Alsohuman yes I think that was the main reason it wasn't recommended initially. Apparently studies show people touch their faces more often with masks as they keep readjusting them. Bit like those magic gloves people do their shopping with, while they also answer their phone and wipe their noses. Still, maybe a minor help in asymptomatic/presymptomatic people not infecting anyone else.
