amysubmits:auroradragon1:I NEED this! I’m not bold enough to actually wear it but I sometimes wish I was. A few weeks ago in the grocery store line a woman ahead of me had her whole mask under her chin. She was purchasing a multiple flats of different types of berries. & the cashier tried to just ring up one pint of each type of berry and multiply it but it wasn’t working or something, so then they were scanning each individually. & this woman says she’s really sorry it’s taking so long and that I have to wait on her. I said it was fine and not to worry about it, and I totally meant it. I wasn’t bothered whatsoever by the wait. But it was just…i don’t know. So ironic I guess? That she felt bad about how long it was taking to ring up her items even though she had no control over it and it was maybe 3 more minutes than it would have otherwise taken? But yet isn’t considerate enough, of me and everyone behind me who will eventually stand in that spot of air where she was breathing, but most importantly, of the cashier who is 2 feet from her, to put her damn mask on. I am sure she wants to be a thoughtful, considerate person because she worried about taking up my time. Sigh. I don’t know how to say what I mean but this year keeps making me analyze different aspects of morality and what it means to people. Recently I was in line at a store and the couple behind me kept standing really close. There were the 6ft markers on the floor, but every time I moved up they would continue to move up right behind me again. I felt like frozen a little bit, having the conversation in my head of whether or not to say something. Eventually i worked up the courage and it came out something like, “I’m sorry, but could you please allow six feet. I’m sorry, but… sorry.” It was also kind of on the loud side because my adrenaline was going from getting up the courage to say it at all. So yeah, it was not graceful like some people are, but it’s so awkward to ask other people to do things like that because it seems so obvious. And you never know if they are doing stuff like that (ignoring social distancing, not wearing a mask, etc.) because it’s not how their used to doing things and they honestly forgot or if they have the whole anti-mask attitude. I hate confrontation and I hate having to put up my own boundaries with strangers. I would totally wear the mask in the picture though because it would save me from having to actually say the words out loud. I do feel some type of way when I see people flouting the mask rules. What kind of masks do you wear @amysubmits? Do you go for the homemade cute colors and florals kind, the medical kind, or something else? You seem like the crafty type (the creative kind of crafty, not the sly kind of crafty). Did you make your own? #Random question of the day -- source link
