Where do you store your mask when you're not wearing it?

[brooklynite]

In Italy, most people wear them on the wrist or elbow.

1. Sits in the front seat of my car.

I use it to go into stores. Otherwise it sits in the front seat. It’s been there close to 18 months now.

[CTyankee]

4. Yep. Me too.

[lagomorph777]

13. Same here

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. I put mine on the dashboard of my car, since sunlight is good for masks. n/t

[Klaralven]

24. Same here. A couple days in the sun in a hot car should kill any virus.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

3. I have a bag by the garage door full

And a box of disposables in the glove box.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

12. The bag by the door is reusable cloth ones

The box is in case I forget them and don't realize until I'm at the store.
I bring the reusable ones in to wash.

5. I make ear buddies with a scrap of fabric

sewing a button on each end. I slip the elastic over the ear, and onto a button, do the same thing on the other side. It allows me to pull my mask down, around my neck skipping the ears entirely.

6. Under my straw hat or baseball cap while out and about

The cloth, multi-color and/or design, unchosen clean ones hang by the ear loops from a pants hanger on the towel bar in the ground-level half-bath, his on one side - mine on the other, with fresh filters for their pockets in a bag inside the vanity cupboard next to the extra TP rolls. Makes for fast change with sanitizing/hand/and mask washing on the flip-side. There is also a supply of the blue surgi-masks in the car glove box just in case. Alternatively, I have worn it on the wrist/elbow and/or stuffed in a pocket. We are now fully boosted by vaccine as well.

7. In a ziploc bag

I have a pretty big collection. Decided since I'm not wearing much makeup, I would fashionably coordinate my masks to my outfits. My husband says he's going to build me a mask wall like Moira's wig wall in Schitts Creek. I put them in the laundry after each wearing.

[nolabear]

22. I'm surprised mask quilts aren't a thing.

Seems like a natural. Maybe after we don’t have to wear the damn things so much…

[Amishman]

8. on my person? Back pocket. Otherwise? Car cup holder

this reminds me, I really should wash that thing

[MuseRider]

9. We have them stashed all over the place.

From the basic to the most protective, each car has a collection. The linen closet has bags of them. My purse always has about 4 of them but when I do not take the entire thing with me the car is supplied.

When I take it off I am usually outside and getting to the car so I just carry it.

I had my very first reaction since at the store yesterday for the first time I felt like we were the only people wearing masks. One lady (I thought of her as an old lady but that isn't fair as I have somehow become one of those myself!) without a mask rolled her eyes dramatically and obviously at me and mouthed the word idiot. I pictured her in a coffin and that was enough for that episode. I was quite proud because I wanted to "wrassle" her to the floor and punch her.

Sorry I went too far. I carry it.

[Vinca]

11. When I'm heading into a building that doesn't appear very busy, I put it on my

wrist. I may or may not put it on depending on the circumstance. I always have an assortment of masks in the car.

[lagomorph777]

14. Yikes.

When I'm heading into any building other than my own house, the mask (and a face shield) is on.

[Vinca]

16. I guess it depends on where you live. I do business in the country's most vaccinated state

with very low rates of Covid and virtually everyone wears a mask in a place like the grocery store where there are lots of people. This morning, for example, I went into a huge garden supply store and I think there were only 3 people in the whole store so I didn't put on the mask until I approached the checkout.

[obamanut2012]

18. Same

No shield, but that mask in on as I step out of my car.

[Greybnk48]

15. Folded in my purse. n/t

[Hekate]

19. I mostly wear jeans, and there's a mask in the back pocket of each. There's some in my purse...

… in a plastic bag. There’s an unopened box of 20 in the emergency supplies in the trunk of my car, and a couple in the drop-drawer. There’s a table in the front hall, and in its small drawer are extra keys, extra sunglasses (I’m really light sensitive), and a packet of masks.

The nice thing about having a good supply of disposables in the drop-drawer of the car is I can offer one to a friend when we’re out.

Such is modern life.

[VarryOn]

20. When I wore them more, kept one in back pocket...

Now, mostly keep in center console of the car.

[Wingus Dingus]

21. Looped over door handle or turn signal post of car.

[LeftInTX]

27. Mine also hang on the turn signal handle

[Hortensis]

23. Always a set folded in my purse. My most reliable because always

close by and my husband doesn't grab them.

Masks of a couple qualities stored in the car, truck and powder room.

We hang our current ones from the gear shifts.

[Jirel]

25. No single place.

I usually have multiple on me. Some are in my purse or computer bag. One may be in my pocket. Sometimes I have one in a tray in my car.

[chia]

26. Looped over my car's gear shifter

[XanaDUer2]

28. Gearshift nt

[Freddie]

29. Car console

And I keep one in my purse.

[Lars39]

30. I voted Other...

One upstairs, one downstairs, one or two in my purse, a couple in each vehicle. When I wore a cloth mask I wore it around my neck because I made them with a cord adjuster (like on a coat). I tried a lanyard with KN95s, but I fumbled around too much.
