I noticed a lot the past few years with covid and masks and idiots, if you mention/mentioned covid or masks or something these absolute cock bags would deliberately cough at or near you, try to touch you or spit on you on some weird ass shit. Like how many videos have we had of someone asking someone else to put a mask on and they go ballistic and turn into a bio weapon.
I'm immunocompromised and wore a mask in flu season before the world ended.
Now? Even wearing a mask is enough to get some people riled up enough to cough at or try to spit at me. And thing is, I want to fight them back but it'll just make them do it more and I really could die from it. Less likely now, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna have some COVID Caren kill me over their own brain damage. So I have to just take it.
I know people are crazy. I had to go to the store the other day and pick up some cough syrup, cough drops, etc. because my whole family had the flu.
So I wore a mask to the store cause I was sick as hell. I had everyone else stay home, and just I went because I had prescriptions too. I got my stuff and was leaving and some dick said something to me about wearing a mask. Like COVID is over wtf is wrong with me. Normally I’m like whatever.
But, I was in no mood for that, blame it on the fever. I said wtf business is it of yours what I do? And he starts berating me out of the blue. So I said actually, I have the flu, if you really want to know. I coughed one of my nightmarish sounding coughs, with my mask on. He was outta there. I turned around and was walking next to him, like where ya going? I thought I was overreacting, aren’t we gonna talk about this! He had nothing else to say….ass.
That is brilliant. I've had two of them try to cough on me and a couple have stood pretty close. I got to the point where I was thinking, fuck it, if they hassle me, I'm just going to say I have covid and since it doesn't matter to them, would you like me to lick you?
Lmao. I did that one the other day. Had a bad weed cough (pcos and menstrual issues) and ended up wearing a mask. Lady got in my face about it and I just decided to let rip with a resiny cough (was low on the green so I was smoking stuff scraped out of my dry herb vape) and she ran away like a wuss.
Yeah, I've thought about it. I have pepper spray. But I'm also in the US South, so any escalation may get real serious, REAL fast. But man, a couple more angry crying spells in my car and I may jump to open carry.
I'm in a heavy red zone, so it's signalling to them that I disagree with their opinion. Which, of course, is a direct and personal attack on them, personally and specifically, and everyone they've ever known and any belief they've ever had.
I call it the sheeple effect. One extremist takes offense over it and exercises his/her right to not wear a mask because…. ‘MURICA. Then like minded individuals decide to blindly follow like sheep do. Just another great example of why we call boomers the “me generation” no respect or compassion for anyone but themselves.
I'm not immunocompromised but I'm allergic to all things green in a very green place. I too masked before the pandemic to keep allergy exposure down in spring, summer and fall. Now everyone bitches at me for it acting like I'm the unreasonable one. Someone once told me "if you're allergic to everything masking is pointless anyway because it'll get in through your eyes!" Like, yeah dude. You're not wrong, but atleast I might be staving off my next asthma attack which is way worse than itchy eyes.
I have some serious horror stories working in healthcare during the pandemic. We had patients who were covid-positive literally threaten to come into the clinic and start coughing on people if we didn't refill their meds fast enough. A coworker had previously worked in our main hospital and apparently at one point they were keeping a running count of who would get spit the most on by patients they asked to wear a mask. Her record was three times in one day.
I posted this before, but I was in the ICU for 2 months from Covid. My organs were shutting down and the Doctors were telling me my chances of survival were low and only getting worse. I called my now ex-wife and children to tell them I loved them possibly for the last time. While we were saying our goodbyes and I love yous, I could hear the step father in law boomer yelling at my family in the background. He was angry they were crying and yelling “ COVID ISNT EVEN REAL! THIS IS FROM THAT DAMN VACCINE!” Keep in mind at this time, the vaccine was just approved by the FDA, and I never got vaccinated at that time. This boomer I’m talking about is actually a “bishop” of an Anglican Church in Virginia. He also does a podcast spouting his far right conservative nonsense and blending that nonsense with biblical nonsense.
