I did what you did, but I said, “No, I’m not putting a mask on, and you do what you need to do.” I did my grocery shopping with dirty looks. Big deal. But “I won”. Just say NO...most people have no idea how to handle confrontation. It’s actually pretty amusing!

One store actually, physically took my ONE item out of my hand while I was paying for it because I wasn’t wearing a mask. Insane!

And for very rare, necessary doctor appointments, I wear a Fake Mask. I hate doing it, but I cannot get medical care if I don’t wear a mask (a Fake Mask).

I once actually got to the checkout line at my supermarket without a mask, and was bagging the last couple of items after having already paid...and some store employee idiot made me put my mask on at that point, even though I'd been in the store for 30 minutes unmasked and even though was leaving the store in about 10 seconds.

Here in Puerto Rico the mask tyrants seemed to enjoy their power.

I remember that! It’s just like Stacy Abrams in a classroom with all masked kids, and she wasn’t wearing one. It’s really evil looking. And that is not normal behavior!

The “mask Nazis” are EVERYWHERE! They come out of the woodwork like roaches. Unfortunately, “light” doesn’t scare them away!

Did you make them ask you to wear it at the doctors office?

Absolutely. I would grab the mask handed to me and smile. Say thanks. When they would ask me to put it on, I would say, "You bet." Or "Got it!" Or even, "I never wear one." But always with a smile. And then I would ignore their comment and continue with my business. Rinse, repeat.

I have a doctor's appointment coming up this week and this and Uber rides were the only time I wore a mask since being released from the hospital. I wore the same effing dirty mask that was given to me in the hospital that does not work, and I just feel like such a fake/pretender/idiot when I wear something I know doesn't work.

I feel so so so angry and downtrodden when wearing a mask. My husband got mad once when we were in a store so I put my mask on to shut him up. And I thought, "Is this how Muslim women feel when forced to wear the hijab? Haven't I always thought no husband would force ME to wear the hijab?" And that was enough to snap me out of the compliant mode.
