I did buy the snake oil for a short time…as in, wore a mask to the store, etc. As a rule follower, I tend to be too trusting and not analytical enough. So I am also thankful I found voices of reason to steer me on to the right path.

I wore masks to the store at first and I knew better. I told myself I was doing it so the young adults working there wouldn't have to deal with me, but it was more an excuse for my cowardice.

My daughter was working in a convenience store at the time and was supposed to make people wear masks. They were building Trump's wall nearby and once the wall workers were staying in town, it changed. None of them wore masks and she and her coworkers had to let them. #Power in Numbers

I wish I could go back and UNwear them. Ugh.

Methinks you'll have another chance to rebel against the masking here in the future - you can make up for it then:)

Currently seeking treatment at Cleveland Clinic. Made it through long hallways and lobbies without one…until I got to the radiology desk where there was a mask nazi. Even a doctor came in the exam room and told me he was sure glad I wasn’t wearing a mask then he pulled his down!

I will confess that I followed those stupid arrows in the store aisles for awhile, but not because I thought it made any difference. Just trying to avoid being cursed out, I suppose.

I must confess if I realized I was following the arrow I turned around and went the other way. 😈😅

Haha, we all have to choose which hill to die on. It all seems so stupid now. Putting on a mask to walk to the table in the restaurant, where it was then safe to take it off. Don't forget to put it back on if you have to go to the restroom!
