Anyone else pissed off about the nose dick mask

[Tribetime]

By store employees.... I keep seeing this at Home Depot and I finally said "you know the mask is useless if it doesn't cover your nose?"...he was dumb enough to respond " people can't understand me with the mask on "....he then held it over his nose and asked if he could help me, I was no thanks thinking I don't want to catch anything you have.

3. If mask wearing is required by employees -

report it to your local health department. It's their job to enforce the rules.

I reported one today - in the 30 minutes I saw her, she made no effort to cover her nose so it was very clear it was intentional. Since this was a restaurant - in which patrons are unmasked to eat - this is particularly dangerous.

Around here, the health department follows up. My daughter's company got reported because one of her coworkers has chronic laryngitis and because a patron was not wearing a mask while eating. The former - probably not a bad report. The latter - totally silly. But the health department followed up on both.

I only report stores when they make no effort to enforce against customers (I reported Dollar General after the cashier told me she was not permitted to say anything to the customers entering maskless. But employees are a different matter.

4. Also, I'm annoyed at the people who wait until right before going in the store to pull up the mask

Hey, buddy, every moment you’re outside, you’re exhaling. Put on the mask before getting out of the car and don’t take it off until you get in the car.

6. Me too...Im glad it's not just me

7. Lol! Give it some time. Everyone isn't used to the pandemic life

that trump has bestowed upon us.

23. Its been 6 damn months🙄.

21. Saw people coming out of Wal-Mart and immediately ripping their mask off.

I know they're outside at that point, but they're still around people going in and out.

8. I have seen a lot of store workers wearing Clear face shields with no mask.

The mask is what keeps their virus in. The face shield would help if someone coughs on them, but does nothing to slow their spread of a virus or even slow down their breathing in someone else's exhalation.

Several different stores I saw this when I was out last week. I try to stay in, but you have to buy groceries and supplies occasionally.

9. Thank you I didn't know

10. Thank you I didn't know

11. I'm going to the hospital on Monday for outpatient testing...

Ultrasound, then blood work.

I'll be wearing both a mask and a full face shield.

I'd wear a spacesuit if I could.

I was totally dumbfounded the last time I walked into a lab to get blood work. People with their masks around their neck, eating, coughing in between bites. No one enforcing the mask rules.

I won't even wait in the waiting room. I'll give them my phone number, go stand outside, and ask them to call me when they are ready for me.

I'm not letting some dumb fuck infect me if I can help it.

15. 🙏🙏🙏🙏hope your ok

17. Thank you! n/t

12. Shields aren't quite as bad as you make them out to be.

They're pretty good at catching droplets (as good or better than masks because the barrier is impermeable). They are less good at aerosol - but the situation dictates how bad that is.

As to aerosolized matter top down shields are pretty poor, front shields are pretty poor. Bottom up, ear to ear shields are not bad. They are worse for people moving around (wait staff, store employeees) who leave a cloud of aerosolized matter in their wake. They are not bad for faculty who can confine them selves to one position with a gap between classes. They are worse with vigorous circulation (can you feel a breeze? If so, the aerosolized matter is going to be blown with the breeze.

13. I made one at the grocery store pull up his mask

I didn’t utter a word. I just stopped walking toward him and gave him my dad stare. He fixed his mask right away.

14. I work in a clinic and I see it all day.

Every single time I ask the patient to please pull the mask back over their nose, that their nose connects to their lungs and that they are experiencing the discomfort of wearing a mask without the protection it offers. They will usually roll their eyes at me and pull it back up for a few minutes and then pull it right back down. Drives us all crazy.

16. I used to mutter "Nice mask, dick nose" but I felt that was a little confrontational.

Now I just give em a nod and a "see you soon." Did I mention I don't leave the house unless I'm wearing my modified Steampunk Plague Doctor attire? This seems to work pretty well. I had one guy challenge me with a "Whut's that s'pposed mean?' I just kept my voice cheerful and replied "It means I won't save you, but I'll happily tally your corpse."
Next I'm thinking of making Plague Doctor "Ask about my Family Discounts" business cards.

I have too much time on my hands.


peace,

18. I haven't seen it much EXCEPT on my local news.

Whenever a reporter interviews someone "on the street", there's the interviewed person's nose exposed every time! I keep yelling at the TV, like that does any good.

It's especially annoying because it's like the news stations are trying to promote bad behavior now!

19. I get so tired of assholes

With their noses hanging out. Are people really this fucking stupid??! Yesssss...

[secondwind]

20. I have to admit that I feel sorry for these folks who have to wear a mask for hours on end.

Like postal employees, police, etc. I personally hate wearing a mask, and so I don’t go out much. Thankfully, we live in a sprawling house with a big yard and a pool out back.

[we can do it]

24. It's easier to just keep it on, you forget about it.

25. I spend 9-13 hours a day like this:

My face always hurts.


Always.

22. I encountered a convenience store employee with his nose hanging out.

I told him it doesn't count. He muttered something I couldn't understand. So I just just said " Good luck with your life." and walked away. I'll go somewhere else.
