How not to be hassled when wearing a mask

[Chicagogrl1]

Just tell the pos offender that you take care of covid patients. Watch while they quickly back away. They will have no smart ass comeback, because they know deep down in their little 🖤’s that everyone is @ risk, even their sorry asses.

1. I HAVE told people (usually smart assed men) to remember my masked face...

Because I might well be the last one they see before sedating them for intubation.

That usually shuts them up.

[lagomorph777]

13. Perfect!

I might just go with "...because it will be the last one you see before my fist hits yours."

Or maybe not...

[Maraya1969]

50. I've thought about just saying, "I'm asymptomatic positive" but I don't know

if that would cause more anger.

[ProfessorGAC]

51. Here's My Prepared Line

"I work in a epidemiology lab. In case I screwed up at work, I don't want to infect others."
I think it would shut them up, but there'd be nothing to get pissed about.
That said, the compliance in stores is so high, there aren't many drones to act up.

2. Great idea.

[iluvtennis]

21. + 1. I will be using it. nt

[roamer65]

29. They are full of phobias and fear.

It def will scare the crap out of them.

[LizBeth]

3. This is interesting. How not to be hassled wearing. I have seen posts how to hassle those not wearin

[GemDigger]

32. I do the same thing for those that are not wearing and those that look at me for wearing.

I just start coughing and coughing and coughing (without needing too) and look everyone of them straight in the eyes.

[Karma13612]

4. I have another good suggestion.

If someone harasses you for wearing a mask, start coughing. A LOT!

🤣

[lagomorph777]

14. Sweet!

[Duppers]

16. Indeed. That's the 1st thing I thought of.

[Lokee11]

19. Yesterday

Wasn't harassed, but in the store where there are multiple signs that state - masks are required. Two people - Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber - were allowed in and walking around shopping without masks. I just happened to have a self-induced vicious coughing attack when they got in the same aisle as I was in. They turned and went down another aisle- wonder why?

FDT!

[Karma13612]

47. Excellent! 👍👍 nt

[GemDigger]

33. I am laughing so hard, look at my comment just above yours.

[Karma13612]

46. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍great minds think alike! nt

[eppur_se_muova]

5. "Oh, sometimes I forget to take it off when I leave the hospital." Then reach up and ... nt

[cyclonefence]

6. "I tested positive" n/t

[Duppers]

20. Brilliant! ⬆⬆⬆

[DavidDvorkin]

7. I'm not going to become a liar because they're angry idiots.

[WinstonSmith4740]

11. I know what you mean.

While it's got to be a good time watching them back off immediately, I really don't think I owe anybody an explanation. Really don't give a damn about their insane rants, conspiracy theories, or "breathing problems".

[appleannie1]

25. I don't like when they get up close and personal.

[lagomorph777]

15. Around here, the angry idiots get a lot of evil eye looks - they are in a small minority.

Same douchebags who drive their muffler-less race cars up and down residential streets at 100mph, bearing teabagger license plates.

[rzemanfl]

8. I wish I'd read this yesterday. n/t

[samnsara]

9. Im going to wear a Seahawk mask.......all these yahoos are Footballers

[amuse bouche]

10. I've told more than one...Ignorant, disease spreading MAGAts are destroying this country

[Ford_Prefect]

12. Ask them if they know how long the sentence is for Negligent Homicide.

That seems to surprise them too.

[Kaleva]

17. Wouldn't work as there are no COVID-19 patients within a 100 miles or so from me.

[appleannie1]

22. Buy scrubs to wear when shopping. Combined with the mask, the store will empty fast.

[StarryNite]

54. LOL

[trof]

55. I started wearing scrub pants a year ago.

I just like them.
They're relatively cheap, comfortable, and have lots of neat pockets.
My new 'jeans'.

[Lonestarblue]

23. Most people wear masks around here.

But if anyone harassed me for wearing one, I’m more likely to say “It’s none of your business what I do. Move along. I’m busy.”

[czarjak]

24. This is a hoax of "War of the Worlds" proportions. True story. THAT's how stupid.

[Tipperary]

26. Not one person has said one single thing to me.

If they give me looks, I must be oblivious, nor would I care. If someone did say something, I would simply ignore them.

[RhodeIslandOne]

27. I live where it's required

No one can say shit.

[GemDigger]

28. I just let my smokers cough loose and then say "that's why"

[JCMach1]

30. I wear American reaper cover and my ballistic glases

For eye protection. Works AMAZINGly well.

[hurple]

31. Or

Just cough.

My wife did that while getting hassled in a Dollar Tree. She said the igits hassling her fell over each other to get away as fast as they could.

She got a good laugh out of it, anyway.

[Doreen]

34. I want to walk up to them take off my mask and since they hate me

for wearing one they will not mind me standing next to them despite the fact I tested positive ( lie of course ) and am just a symptomatic.

No, I would not actually do that but it sure is tempting.

I am chomping on the bit for my Biden 2020 mask cover to come. I ordered 2. One for wearing when I go to Olympia ( dragonflies ) to help my blind friend and one to wear in my very red county.

[dhill926]

35. I haven't been hassled yet....

and probably won't be where I live. If I was, I would simply reply, "I'm wearing this to protect you." Then quietly walk away...

[scarletlib]

36. I think another good reply is, "It's a free Country "

Just throw their words back at them.

[SammyWinstonJack]

40. That's the one to use.

[scarletlib]

41. Thanks.

[bullwinkle428]

42. "Aren't you concerned about 'freedom & liberty'? Because I have every right

to walk around dressed like Pennywise the Clown if I wanted to, and there's not a damned law on the books that can stop me!"

[Woodwizard]

37. I have yet to run into any problems

I am in the Catskills NY only go out when I have to, Beer run once a week, food biweekly, everyone I have encountered in any store has a mask on, I have one relative that bitches about the state not being opened up on FB but that's about it. It is real, most pay attention the few idiots screaming about it get way too much attention.

[xmas74]

38. I told someone the truth when they tried to laugh at me:

19 staff and several residents have tested positive and I'm waiting on a mandatory test. Of course if it makes you uncomfortable I can take it off.

They said I could leave it on,lol.

[Politicub]

39. I didn't realize the extent of people getting hassled

No one has said anything to me about wearing a mask, and I'm seeing probably 90 percent of the people shopping in the grocery store wearing a mask. All of the employees have masks. I'm in Atlanta, so perhaps this is more of a problem in more rural areas.

I can't get over how selfish someone has to be to forgo a mask, though. Wearing a mask helps others. It's an act of kindness and empathy.

[Kaleva]

43. I live in rural Mi and I've never heard of anyone local being harassed. I haven't.

Majority of people I see in the stores are wearing a mask.

[meow2u3]

44. I tell them I have allergies

Masks filter out the pollen that gives me asthma.

[GoCubsGo]

45. The only thing you need to say to them is "Mind your own goddamn business."

Granted, one shouldn't even dignify their actions or comments at all. Fuck 'em. That being aid, I prefer "Roll the eyes. Shake head in disgust. Walk away without saying a word."

[struggle4progress]

48. "I'm wearing this so I won't give you corona virus"

[Karma13612]

49. Can you imagine! Being

Harassed for wearing a piece of fabric on your face, but heaven forbid we react badly to someone with an AK-47 strapped to their body.

Man, we need to get our priorities realigned in this country.

[MrsMatt]

52. How about

"I'm packing"

[Codeine]

53. I'm more of a "Go fuck yourself" guy. nt

[jmg257]

56. Do we really need to make up Stuff to placate selfish assholes?

Fuck em - and feel free to tell em so.

[GulfCoast66]

57. If it happens 'fuck off' will be my response.

But as a hefty white in good shape I would be shocked if anyone said anything derogatory.

These people are cowards.

[drmeow]

58. I can tell them

Quite honestly that I work at the local medical school and my office is the equivalent of 1 small block from the emergency department - do they REALLY want me to take off my mask? I don't bother to tell them it is a literal block away (a different building) or that I haven't been in the office since March.

I haven't been hassled here and most people have been respectful even if they aren't wearing a mask.
