Massachusetts, where it's required.

In the cities of Cambridge, Somerville, and a few others, not wearing one can be ticketed up to $300.

For the most part, almost everyone complies with the rules in place.

I carry it in my pocket, when I'm going into stores. And I do everything in my power to make the person telling me to put it on, feel like the biggest moron in the world.
Unless it's a person that feels the same way I do, but is just doing their job. Otherwise I make sure to hit all of the right triggers, if it's some TDS asshole that gets triggered and insulted when I tell them it's a hoax, and I'm a peaceful BLM protester.

Our company called us back, I'm supposed to go in Friday. I took a pay cut, but I'm not willing to go sit in an office where I'll be forced to wear a mask.
I'm just going to continue to keep working from home. If they give me shit and demand I come in, we'll be parting ways.

Because I know full damn well every key person in their organization that they let go in the last two years, are now consulting for them. Because they keep hiring Liberal Arts majors running the company into the ground with their feelz.

I'll hit them hard for Contract time.

The only place I wear a mask is the work place. I am a real estate photographer and my employer requires it. However, I tell agents I do not care if they wear a mask or not. If they decide not to wear one, I take mine off as well. If I wear it, I tell the agent they must stay on a separate floor than the one I am on. I then pull it under my chin. Sissy? Maybe.

I do not wear it anywhere else. If a store tells me I must wear one, I put all my shit on the floor and leave.

I'm in Va. and 90% of mask signs I've seen say "please wear..." or "The governor has requested...".

What pussies we've all become.

Only indoors and on private property when requested. If they want to make you wear one outdoors in line I will not shop there.

I wear a mask in the store or cafe, etc.
Yesterday I had a checkup at a medical clinic and I had to wear one in there.

I don’t wear one when I’m outdoors or driving.

When I go to stores or else they won't sell me shit.

Never outdoors. I actually enjoy flagrantly violating pointless rules, so I walked through Stanford Mall without a mask the other evening, even though it is "required". It's an outdoor mall. No one is catching the Wuhan virus outdoors. Statistics bear this out.

I'll wear it to go shopping in a grocery store, just because they won't let me in otherwise, and maybe there is some risk indoors, though a grocery store is a huge space so I doubt the mask has any measurable effect.

I stopped going to Peets when they wouldn't take my order from 10 feet away, outdoors, without a mask. That's nuts.

To work and to stores where it’s required. Suburbs of Los Angeles

The mask is really low on my list of concerns.

I wear a bandana a-la bank robber when visiting stores which don't have curbside pickup option. If curbside option is present I'd rather use it and avoid standing in stupid lines to enter the store.

Outdoors, on the streets and trails? Absolutely not. Not even bandana.

Maybe the translation works well here - it's a Swiss Immunologist who knows Fauxci and calls (him) out all the lies and incompetence around the Wuhan Virus, such as "There is no immunity", "re-infection" (which were destroyed viral fragments from the previous successful immune response detected by the PCR tests), "asymptomatic spread" and "a totally novel virus like never seen before" - all blatant lies (or gross incompetence if you have any faith in the CDC/WHO/Fauxci) to enact the unconstitutional lockdowns. He said it would have been sufficient from the beginning to simply protect the 65 year and older as well as immunocompromised demographics without any need for lockdown bs. He also gives the WHO a small credit for at least not peddling the asymptomatic spread bs and instead employ at least a very skeptical narrative towards it on their website.

Like I said, I am afraid of the people, not the virus. I'll wear a mask rather than be mobbed by Karens and hypochondriac California kale huggers, of whom there are many. Coastal California was invented for these kinds of people, and Corona gives them something to obsess and ritualize over.

Many otherwise sensible people have also been taken in by the Panic Pandemic, and are actually afraid of it.

If someone mask shames you while wearing a mask with an exhale valve rendering its protective properties completely useless, you should ruthlessly counter-shame them with everything you've got, from hypocrisy to stupidity to little Eichmannism.

You can't go to stores without them. I wear a sheer, but opaque, square black silk scarf that says "made in China". I go bandana style so it's pretty easy to breathe.

Whenever I run into an outside masker I look them in their fearful eyes and say hello or good morning as appropriate. We've got to help these people rejoin reality.

I have come to love it. Hat, sunglasses, bandana, total anonymity. I feel like John Dillinger.
Also, fuck you Facial Recognition Software.

Wear it in store n near crowd.

But do not wear it in park n biking in neighborhood.

I like the way you spin it! I'm going to start covering really creepily when I have to have a mask to get into a store.

And yes, this does seem to be the answer to facial recognition software!

But still not going to wear a mask outdoors until I see at least a tiny bit of evidence that it does anything at all.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostakovitch says

I wear a T-shirt that advises:

'LADIES! BE SAFE AND BREATH THROUGH MY DICK!'

55 ignores. Wow!

There's no evidence of anything. We've been told to do 20 different things with this virus and means of protection from it. Everyone should just live their life and if you don't like it stay home until your bonus UE dries up. Life is full of choices. One of them currently is to just stay home and get paid more than they usually would. Learn an instrument. Study something new. The one thing you don't do, with me at least, is tell me to wear a mask. Fuck off with that nonsense.

No

Gotta say I'm proud of my fellow Georgians. Just ran to a PACKED Walmart for a few items and the only people wearing a mask were the store employees. You could tell everyone else was like "fuck it" - ALL people - black, white, brown etc...

Random lady at a local store: “You’re supposed to be wearing a mask.” Me: “I’m supposed to be wearing underwear too, yet here we are.”

lol many womyn become quite wet from strong assertion. If you encounter a hot one at some point just assume the sale and the bang may be yours. "And no, I didn't buy any cucumbers." In fact many womyn feel lonely and isolated during this bs lockdown, that's their way of showing it - like children. Bang-a-ho, up the morale and give back to society today!

Also I tell the kid to cough hard when I'm in one of those fucking long bs lines in front of every fucking store there days - it usually cuts your waiting time in half. It's fucking clown world, people are literally burning down whole cities yet the feeble minded are afraid of a cold/flu virus and happily await government orders while their local police is being disbanded. Fear is the mindkiller.
