Coming back home walking through the back way. My manager is outside crushing boxes for the bin, wearing his mask. "Hey friend, why are you wearing your mask outside?" I proceed to tell him fresh air is the best thing for you. There's no virus in the air. "Oh I know" (no he doesn't) he tells me. "I have to wear it for all the buildings I go to so it's a hassle taking it off so I wear it all the time". I lean in, "You're conditioning yourself to wear it for the rest of your life" I tell him. He laughs sarcastically "No I'm not" as I just turn around with my milk and walk away.

"Yes you are"

Those were my last words as I disappeared back inside. I hope it rings loud on repeat, inside his head for the rest of the day.

Subtle red pill, there. Nice!

I dropped off a library book a few days ago. The drop-off chute is outside so it can be used after hours. I was there at lunch so there was someone inside. She saw me (from inside, mind you) not wearing a mask and gestured for me to put one on.

I made a show, slowly and obviously looking around me to see whether there was anyone near me. There wasn't. I looked at her and shook my head sadly, then walked away.

I may have looked around like you did then stick two fingers to my head while looking directly at her and pull the imaginary trigger. Unfortunately, these people are beyond help.

A lot of times, i just say sure ill put it in, go on to not wear it. Actually, a lot of times ill pretend to put it on, and not put it on. People dont seem to notice this small gesture
