Well, it finally happened. I was assaulted by the mask police in the middle of the pickle and dressing aisle of my grocery this aafternoon. Little OLD lady bout 5 foot tall, stands firm, hands on hips and says “PUT YOUR MASK ON!!!” I kindly reply, relax lady, to which she then adds the foot tapping hands on hips stance and says ‘Do I have to go get a manager?”
<y first inklying is to day, no, but you need to go buy a laxative cause I can see you are Full of CHIT!!”
OK, now my rationale....mind you I have inly been a trauma nurse for a little over 45 years, but that said....it is currently 93 degrees outside with BWEY high humidity. add to that, the NATURAL hypoxia that can occur when wearing a mask, ergo, I choose to have it “at the ready” but not covering my face, when I start to feel a bit oxygen deprived. So I guess its either me fainting and looking like a chicken on the aisle floor, OR, mind your own business, lady, and I will take care of my own breathing, thank you.
The MEAN me was tempted to put my hands on my hips, stand firm and say “Dont make me have to cough on you, lady!!”
it all ended well. I got groceries and my mask is now firmly packed in my purse :-)

Too funny!!!
Assault on aisle 5!!!
You could use my excuse of “maskaphobia” and you should have yelled at her to stand back lest you go postal.
The pickle aisle is no place to faint. All that broken glass and pickle juice, ouch!
