So, went to the local grocery store to get much needed essentials.
Beer, 1/2 and 1/2, eggs, and a strip steak.
On the way in, I put my mask on. Guy coming out is my height and 2x my BMI. Looks like your typical moron. He says, "You can stop hiding behind your mask." Not breaking eye contact, I said....."good one, you must be a Comedian." I stopped and I knew what I'd do if stupid guy stopped. Lateral Kick to his his left side knee. He didn't.

They don’t expect it from a little old lady.
I don’t have time for these fools. |

38. I like to tell the younger guys to shut up.
The twenty year olds.
I caught a grocery cart that was about to hit a car at the grocery one day. Two young guys walking by, one says “way to go, old lady”. I said “Shut up”, and walked to my car. I could hear them laughing all the way. |

Last edited Sat Jul 17, 2021, 10:09 PM - Edit history (1) That anyone will joke about masks. TBH, there were few masks now in the Store,,,,,I bet most are fully vax'd.... Still. for any person to challenge your medical choices, that's a really stupid person. a true asshole. He has no clue what my medical history could be, but felt compelled to act like a Republican.

3. I hear ya! It's happened to me a few times too
I still mask up every time I go into a store or public building. If anybody says anything to me (it's rare) I look them in the eye and I say, "I'm making my choices and you're making yours."
Most people accept that with no problem. ![]() ![]() |

a formal plan of 1st strike can be crippling and this moron would have been crying if he wanted to escalate the encounter.

plan ahead! Left leg was closest. him leaving the store. My point is....if he decided to escalate, I had a plan. He didn't.

17. Still wearing my mask everywhere in public, but I don't get out much yet.
No one has said anything to me yet. I see a few others still wearing, but most people seem to be unmasked.
If anyone says anything, I intend to just ignore them. Not worth my time. Of course the other option is to pull the mask aside, cough uncontrollably at them and say "sorry, I'm not feeling too good today.." |

"But you can die from ignorance" I replied and just kept walking away to the sound of laughter from the guy's girlfriend.

It's always reassuring that fat-shaming is allowed and glossed over so easily at DU throughout the decades.

36. So you'd try to cripple someone for making an inane remark to you?
Trust me, you wouldn’t have lasted long living as a woman. Every woman here probably has a story about some silly, and often offensive, remark directed at her.
Gotta wonder, how are you going to handle it when arrested for assault and thrown in the pokey? Oops! Just exposed yourself to WAY more chance of infection. ![]() |

37. I used to come back at people like that.
I've stopped doing that. I just ignore such comments altogether, unless I'm in a really, really bad mood at the moment.
I'm not about confrontation these days. |
