I would regularly leave my mask on in the car just from being too lazy to take it off and put it back on again in the span of 15 minutes. I definitely had a couple of instances where people who saw me drive by yelled something at me in anger about how I had it on. I am kinda surprised to see a similar complaint crop up in a thread on HN. I'd usually forget I had it on anyway. I guess some people count down the seconds until they can rip it off and have what they perceive as "freedom"?
- wincy 3y agoI’m not yelling at people. I’m just pointing out something that seems abnormal. I personally think normalizing voluntarily wearing masks is great as it makes it acceptable to wear them on airplanes, and service workers who want are free to mask up where you would have been seen as a crazy person pre pandemic. It makes sense to wear a mask when you’re on an airplane or if you’re a service worker in constant contact with the general public. Now for me personally wearing a mask was almost impossible to ignore because I wear glasses, so my glasses were constantly fogging up and it was a huge hassle and nearly unbearable over the course of a day, so in my mind it’s extra surprising to see people wearing masks when they’re alone and in my mind it doesn’t make much logical sense to do so.
