"No, I'm good." will be my reply.

Anyhow, flew on four different airliners two weeks ago, just days after the mandate was lifted. While well more than half of the people on each flight were unmasked, all of my seat mates chose to wear masks. Nobody asked me to don a mask.

It's a good thing because I'm so over masks!

I did see a few people at the airport wearing masks, face shields, and goggles!

If your seatmate asks you to mask, tell them, “I’m sorry, but one of the conditions of my parole is that I can never again wear a mask in public.”

[RetiredTexasVet]

Miss or Sir, I’m not wearing mine so you can add it to yours so you can be double, triple, etc. masked ... sort of like wearing multiple condoms .... oh, the extra protection.

[moovova]

“Do what? You want me to put a mask on?"

[Trillian]

And that’s how the fight started..

How to ask a seatmate to mask: The new etiquette for maskless flights

Step One: Buy all the seats on the flight.

Step Two: Place mirrors in all the seats except the one you intend to sit in.

Step Three: Put on your Mask.

Step Four: Board the Aircraft.

Me too internationally. Saw a few masks but people are done with it. My reply will be “No, I don’t want to.”

Carry a laminated card of this....

FR humor and wisdom at its best.

MYOB.

What? Doesn’t your mask work?

I flew last week, ~85% wore no mask. Even those that did seemed to be lax about it, pulling it down for periods.

A passenger next to me was mainly wearing one, which was appreciated as he had TERRIBLE bad breath. Every time he removed it...ugh - but I couldn’t care less otherwise.

My response to anyone that asks, “micrometer protection doesn’t stop nanometer viruses”. There’s zero evidence wearing them had any meaningful effect on cases.

We were traveling through the Adirondacks today, in the middle of absolute NOWHERE, during a beautiful sunny, clear, breezy day with virtually no one else around, and we saw a woman walking to her car masked up.

Words fail me at that point.

I cannot fathom how someone can live in that kind of bondage to fear.

[muir_redwoods]

Trust me,there’s no good way to ask me to wear a mask. The FIRST time someone asks me to wear a mask, if im in a good mood,I’ll probably respond,
“No thank you, I’m breathing”

Any follow up request will be met with a loud,

“Don’t touch me there!!!”

[Mark]

Ask the idiot why he or she is not triple masked.

[metmom]

If you are nervous about flying on an aircraft full of bare faces, you can take steps to make the journey less daunting.

Xanax would work.

[rktman]

Works for me too. Not that i plan to ever fly again.

[mosaicwolf]

""No, I'm good." will be my reply."

My rely is a standard one: "Only criminals, fools, and the Lone Ranger wear masks."

[upchuck]

Looks like she's in severe pain:

[glennaro]

Please put on a mask for me. I have an extra one if you need it.
No thanks, I follow the advice of Dr. Fauci who said a mask is ineffective against a virus. Then he said it was effective. Then a few months later he said it wasn't necessary ... so I've decided to follow that version of his ever-changing advice."

Oh, I think you’re going to want me to wear this mask after I ate all those garlic fries.
I'm sure I'll be able to smell your fetid breath no matter how many masks you wear because the mask you're wearing, improperly so, I might add, isn't sealed. It's not going to keep odors in or keep the virus out. Besides, I'm not the one who is sick here.
