Current Events > Do you wear a mask in public?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I do. Nothing fancy, I just have a packet of medical masks that I keep in my car.

what kind of cool masks do you have?

---

I wear a bandana around my neck and cover my face with it when I need too.
---

I reuse surgical masks until they show some breakage or get soiled

I used to do that, but its too hot now so I use the medical mask now.

Ya.
Im not an asshole

I have a washable LSU mask. I wear it in stores yes but not at home or in my car. I keep it on my desk at work for when customers come in but there's only 2 people I work with and we all have our own offices so it feels pretty unnecessary to wear it all the time there if no one's in my office.

Yeah I reuse too, those ear strings break easy though.

---

As of Friday, they're mandatory in my state. I think I will have to wear one anywhere other than home and work.

My sister is a dental hygienist and it boggles her mind how much people are complaining about wearing the mask all day at work. I was one of them tbh, it takes getting used to, but Im not an ass. I deal with it.

---

Yes. I'm not a piece of shit.

Thankfully, I don't need to do it much.

Most of my work day I'm able to keep enough distance from people where it doesn't matter.

And any time I go into a store I'm in and out as quick as I can be, so having to wear a mask doesn't bother me.
---

For the most part yes. I don't do so when I am out in the yard or driving, but if I get out of the car then I put one on.

---

When you get pulled over, it should be License and registration, proof of insurance, mask?

I mean to be fair dental hygienists have been wearing those things at work since long before all this so of course it's way more normalized for someone like that than a member of the general public. Not excusing anyone that tries to be edgy and thinks wearing masks is some kind of breach of freedom or some shit, just saying it'd probably be more easy for someone that was already wearing one frequently to accept that.

Of course, I dont wear it in or around my own house or in my car.

---

Just indoors when I have to. And outside as well, but my job is very physically taxing and I sweat a shit ton which runs my mask. Humidity can also make breathing a bitch in general.

---

Nah, no one else cares either. We all want to die secretly

I agree, Im not used to it at all either.

Yeah. I have some cloth ones with disposable filters

---

Whole family, 5yo got a shield too

---

Yeah, I basically only leave home for work. That's how it's always been, so I wear masks/gloves at work. If I happen to end up anywhere else I wear a mask.

---

I always wear a mask indoors in public. When Im outside, it depends. If Im going to a place where I could come across people without a means to avoid them, then yes. But if Im just taking a walk outside (suburbs), its super easy to always be at least 50 feet away from everyone, so no.

Playing this while wearing it makes me feel badass
---

It's required of me at work. I wear one into every business I enter. I drive everywhere so I don't wear one in the street or anything like that

---

I don't yet - I maintain distance. If they are required, I have an old medical mask I'll reuse. If they aren't provided for me, I'm not buying them.

---

I mostly wear gaiter scarves now

---

Yeah. Mandatory at work too.

---

I dont while walking the dog, but Im otherwise wearing one when I go to the grocery store. Otherwise, Im not in public.

---

when im walking my dog on the sidewalk or on the disc golf course i dont wear one. so only indoors for me i guess.

do you expect places to provide you with pants too? those are required almost anywhere you go yet people dont seem to be in the same uproar about those. wonder what the difference is?

I am not forced to buy 'new' pants.

---

I don't wear it at the gym, but I wear it everywhere else.

---

I picked "indoors", but that's because I don't go anywhere public outside. I just social distance.

When I lose weight it is necessary for me to buy new pants. Otherwise, I buy a few pairs and wash them - exactly what I do with masks.

---

I keep a large distance between myself and others when I'm outdoors, and I put on a mask if I have to go inside or into a crowded area. So I picked the third option.
---

Yeep.
---

When it is actually required at a business, yes, otherwise no. Surprised that isn't a poll option. At my work it is mandatory which sucks because I work at least 8 hours a day.

---

I have a black mask with a filter on it that I wear the second I leave my car. Its 115 degrees in this mfer rn and I can manage.
---

I've barely left the house since pandemic started, but when I do yes. Plus I'm in Michigan. One of the states where mask wearing is mandatory.
