I never, and I mean never, wore one. A couple of stores barred me so they lost my business.

During the peak days of the Stupid 19 scam, I absolutely refused to cover my breathing holes with a silly nappy. While shopping almost everyone would leave alone if I just put it my chin, but occasionally some cranky know-it-all would be me the business in which case I’d flash my Mask Exemption card provided by someone who understands the American Disabilities Act and put their rules on it. It worked all but a couple of times. The Apple Store, Trader Joe’s and Costco employees were the worst Nazis. Many other places seemed to be more respectful.

One night I was standing in the check out line at CVS minding my own business when this customer who honestly looked like a frog got in my face about my open face. As I smiled at her while showing her my exemption, she got all crazy telling me that she worked in healthcare and that I was full of shit. So I just ignored her as I proceeded to approach the cashier who wasn’t in the mood to listen to her ranting either. And it was hard not to crack up laughing as walked out of the store seeing her in corner of my eye screaming at lady giving out vaccines who didn’t want any part of it as well.

I’ve learned a lot over the last few years - none more than the reality that one of humanity’s greatest flaws is how easily we can fall for tricks. And when you add arrogance to the gullibility, you find yourself in an army of deluded idiots no longer to simply think straight.
