I am ALL for breaking the mask mandates, but why is ot that ALWAYS I see someone without a mask, it is always some chain smoking gipsie who is coughing his lungs out...
not a good look
@LukeAlmighty I also break these rules, because I believe that eventually the government will recognize that it makes no sense anymore and we'll have to get used to the covid.. (of course, they won't do it now, but after a next lockdown, when we'll be economically broke and the savings of the middle and lower classes will be eaten up by inflation, there will be no pensions or social benefits.. people will call for end of all these restrictions.. let's wait :-))
the only problem I have with not wearing masks is that everyone stares at me.. I'm not comfortable with it.. I don't like being the centre of attention (not on public transport).. because it gives the impression that I do it for that reason, which is not true..

For me, the problem is more of an internal one.
I love rules. I am an IT guy admfter all, so breaking rules willingly does take a lot of courage. (I know... lame)
@LukeAlmighty a bottle of beer helps me a lot :-D
@mig @LukeAlmighty People who stare at you for not wearing a mask do so for 1 of 2 reasons. 1 - they are envious and wish they had the courage to defy or 2 - they are terrified and secretly want to shank you. Own the attention. Group 1 is looking for permission from a peer to take off their masks - the more they see the defiance the more likely they will be to participate in kind.
@farmers_wife @LukeAlmighty last week I was at a safety course.. 60 people in a room and a lector.. there was only one (!) person wearing a mask (but not the lector).. the lecturer was speaking about the absolute necessity of wearing masks inside :-D I felt exactly like in a scene from the 60's Czech movie Bila pani, where people are swimming in the river, but they pretend there is a bridge.. absurdistan..
