Mandatory Masks

[BurlyGirl]

I like seeing everyone in masks while I'm shopping for food. I feel like they probably didn't drool, spit, sneeze or cough on my vegetables.

This!

I actually like the social distancing as well. Especially with this heat wave, who wants anyone getting too close? Hot, sweaty, smelly people, everyone two meters back, please.

Chronic claustrophobia comes to mind as a damn good reason.

Phobias, acute paranoia, malignant narcissism, rampant grandiosity, sociopathy would be among the possible mental health afflictions and personality disorders cited as a reasons not to wear a mask despite a mandatory order.

Right,Badenoch,and every one of them are outwardly impossible to discern,so,where does that leave us? It's exactly the same as people without visible symptoms parking in handicapped spaces,but,require them just the same..

But you still see all the nitwits squeezing the oranges and tomatoes and loaves of bread along with everything else they can't keep their bloody hands off. I've given a few of them the stink eye and couple of what some would call unkind words. If you want to squeeze things, grow your own.

Badenoch-it is absolutely not my business,and sorry to say it-but why it is,that somehow it comes across in this thread(other ones too-but this one especially)that either it is Your way,or the highway-so to say?
There are zillions of members here-and other then 2,i have no idea who they are ,where they are from ,how old are they ,what they are made of.........but i respect MOST of them(The ones i do not-somehow, even-though "unprovoked"they worked HARD ,to lose my respect.)

But,why they are all above mentioned"bad"boys,why they have to stand aside if there is something they think,,,,, does not matches with what You think?

Oh,and by the way -the other day i went into a store.A Lady came in with her son.The boy-mask on,the Lady-nothing.When the store clerk asked her for the mask-she said,Sorry,can not wear it,i have asthma.
Asthma does not count as personality disorder or mental thing-does it?


I really hate to use the term trolling-but either You troll,or ..........?i do not know then.Cheers.

That was an interesting read Smitty....... Just more confused now than before..... Surely the truth lies somewhere in between.... The images below seem to make sense?

Bad photo shop job. Saw the same one on a second hand smoke post...

He raised the issue in the context of justifying why he is not abiding by the bylaw. It's his decision to answer not yours.

Well here's mine. Injuries from Concussive force. Blade in my left F'ing lung( a good size one ), double broken ribs so the bottom of my sternum is calcified.

I'm absolutely claustrophobic when it comes to wearing a mask. I found this out while spray painting my canoe a year ago. I suspect anyone with COPD might feel stressed about wearing a mask too. Regardless, I have no qualms about wearing one when or where required but I have to be in and out real quick. Fortunately, I know just where my rye is at the liquor store.

Some of you need to grow up an act like adults. Stop the "against my rights" tirade its actually pretty lame. Nobody wants to wear masks and those that choose to defy this are not heros you're just embarassing yourselves. Grow the F up!

My grandma has to go shopping for her food medication and necessities and has to come in contact with you yahoos who feel they are above the rest of us. Its you who think youre smarter then you actually are that are likely to be the ones spreading covid or any type of virus with your blatant ignorance of the rules and social norms. Whether masks is a solution or just a preventative measure, its sure beats pure ignorance. Look at the ignorant USA right now, is that what we want in Canada? Everyone deserves to feel protected to some degree when they are in public. The longer people refuse the suggestions of medical professionals the longer this crap is going to continue.

Dont wear a mask thats your choice, but the rest of us chose to be responsible mature adults who want to work together to get out of this BS situation no matter how superficial it seems.
