I also vocalize my thoughts about incorrect mask wearing. And I don't care if they hear me. Mostly I just say moron or idiot.An unexpected hazard of wearing a mask:
I sometimes have a bit of a habit of semi-consciously speaking out loud my thoughts. Usually it's very quiet and muted, and no one actually notices or hears it, but the point is that I might say something out loud that I did not consciously mean to, and that might be...."inappropriate". This (admittedly bad) habit is somehow easier to slip into if I'm wearing my mask. I guess my brain thinks that since I'm wearing something over my mouth (and nose by the way) no one can hear me.
So, this morning I'm in a store and a guy walks in who of course is wearing his mask pulled down so that it's just over his mouth. I came THIS CLOSE to saying "Dick Nose" out loud pretty much right to his face. I do believe the gentleman in question (who was quite large) wouldn't have appreciated this, and likely would have commenced to kicking my ass.
It's a dangerous world out there folks. Wear your mask, wear it properly, be safe. But maybe keep your mouth shut too....it could save a life!

your not wearing correctly if your glasses fog up. I also wear glasses.I would rather be able to see instead of looking through fogged up glasses. Deal with it
one would think... but there is nothing common about common sense.We went to an amusement park a few times this summer. They lines tapes on the sidewalk where you wait for rides each 6' or more apart and counting for the turns in the railing and the lines snaking back and forth. Even my 4 year old son understood what those lines were for without a second explanation. If he can get it, and adult should have no trouble.
Rainex or a dryer softening sheet will prevent that entirely. Lab trick. Works.I would rather be able to see instead of looking through fogged up glasses. Deal with it
Goes along with "maskhole"...I like the term "covidiot"
The amount of stupid people is amazing. I'm surprised we haven't become extinct.my son was telling me about being in a public place and the guy reached up and pulled down his mask, then sneezed, then put the mask back up
I was taught to always look up.Like the doofuses that can't even follow the giant arrows on the floor in the grocery store (in all fairness, many of which are masked/gloved up too)... the stupid is strong among us.
If you think of the absolute dumbest person you know... then realize that they are probably of "average" intelligence, and half the world is dumber than they are... your expectations dramatically decrease.
If you pull glasses down a bit onto the top of the mask they won't fog. Deal with it...I would rather be able to see instead of looking through fogged up glasses. Deal with it
To your first point, just remember, by definition, 50% of people are of below average intelligence.The amount of stupid people is amazing. I'm surprised we haven't become extinct.
But have you ever noticed that (that) stupid person knows something that you don't.?? A doctor looks pretty stupid when the wrench comes along and changes his tire for him. People can be soo judgmental. It takes all types to see you and I through a day.The amount of stupid people is amazing. I'm surprised we haven't become extinct.
You are right that it takes all kinds to get through. We should respect all people’s area of expertise. But I think the point about stupidity is that it’s stupid not to take the doctor‘s advice about preventing the spread of disease. That’s the doctor’s area of expertise. Follow the doctor’s lead on disease, and follow the wrench’s lead on tires, and we will probably all be better off.But have you ever noticed that (that) stupid person knows something that you don't.??

We're not being judgmental, we're stating a fact. Not wearing a mask properly, given the knowledge that exists today about this disease, is inexcusable. Stupid is as stupid does.But have you ever noticed that (that) stupid person knows something that you don't.?? A doctor looks pretty stupid when the wrench comes along and changes his tire for him.

Lets look at animal cruelty. A dog makes a mistake and gets knocked around by someone who makes a $2,000 mistake at work. Sometimes I wish dogs could bite.

So is obesity, smoking, and living unhealthy lifestyles. These people make up a huge chunk of COVID19 deaths, which turned a flu into a pandemic. Do all you snarky mask-shamers in this thread wag your finger in these people's faces, too?..given the knowledge that exists today about this disease, is inexcusable. Stupid is as stupid does...
Not comparable. Your eating too many big macs is not going to kill me, but your not wearing a mask could.So is obesity, smoking, and living unhealthy lifestyles. These people make up a huge chunk of COVID19 deaths, which turned a flu into a pandemic. Do all you snarky mask-shamers in this thread wag your finger in these people's faces, too?
I’ll pull an @neil_w here.To your first point, just remember, by definition, 50% of people are of below average intelligence.
To your second point, the only word you left out of your sentence is "yet". Mother Earth is trying to kill the human infestation that is killing her. She just hasn't found the right method yet. Virus, pestilence, climate change. She's working hard on the problem...
Those lifestyle choices only affect the person who lives that lifestyle. They increase their own risk, not other people’s risk. Not wearing a mask or wearing it improperly spreads disease to others, so it’s not the same thing. If wearing a mask improperly were only a risk to the person doing it, then I’d have no problem with it — be my guest and snort up all the viruses you like. Lick a toilet seat, if that’s your turn-on. I don’t care. Just don’t spread disease to others.So is obesity, smoking, and living unhealthy lifestyles. These people make up a huge chunk of COVID19 deaths, which turned a flu into a pandemic.
