Do you wear a mask? (24/10)

(I shouldn't laugh. Hope it wasn't too hot/messy.)Just poured a cup of tea into the mask I'd apparently forgotten to take off when I got home two hours ago

Yes.
I’ve got some ffp2’s in a range of colours, and finally got a couple of ffp3’s. One of the latter even has a good seal across the nose with a piece of foam on the inside. Will be trying that out on a cross country train soon.
Still wearing handmade cloth ones (4 layer).
Planning to make another batch of those soon as had some requests.
I have sat indoors with no mask on, drinking tea chatting smoking etc in friends’ abodes a couple of times, windows and doors open. Took my mask off to eat and drink in a cafe as part of some support work last week.
Other than that, still wearing a mask in any indoor space that isn’t my home, plus some outdoors when crowded.

Not quite the same, but I remember years ago spending ages unpeeling my sweaty af pvc kecks down after raving in them for hours, dying for a piss. Finally got them down to my knees, squatted, and ahhh the relief. Til I remembered I still had my knickers onJust poured a cup of tea into the mask I'd apparently forgotten to take off when I got home two hours ago
Had to spend another fucking aaaage taking it all fucking off so I could remove the pissy knickers (which I then found in my jacket pocket months later, at the bar in the pub... 'ooo what's this in my pocket?'

Was in Sainsburys last night, pleasantly surprised to see mask-wearing by customers was at least 90% if not more.

It's very different then dependant on where you are...here in Northampton mask wearers are very much the minority

4% wearing or 4% not wearing?

Banana for scale
Yeah, most places - went with son to Southend and we visited aquarium on Friday. The two of us and one grandpa were the only people there, which was quite busy, wearing masks. Similar in shops. Always wear on public transport - really variable how many wearing on the tube - 50-70% I'd say - and it's supposed to be mandatory.

Pretty strict about it, but did pop into Aldi without one for five minutes the other day as I’d left it behind and was nowhere near home. Although I posed zero risk to anyone, having just had Covid three weeks before, I still felt like a cunt and hated the idea that I might be making other people nervous or uncomfortable. Wasn’t particularly busy and quite a few others maskless.

By definition anything that's not being enforced is not really mandatory

Haven't stopped, but have noticed I am getting sloppier at it, had to walk back to the car to grab one at the supermarket the other day when I noticed other people wearing one.

Waiting for announcements about masks at work tomorrow. Can’t imagine it’ll be forced now as we have open doors and no track and trace any more. Hope at least more staff will get back on the masks

Well the first day back to masks in the supermarket where i work and would say mask wearing was about 50/50......we are not commenting as the last time we experienced daily shouting and abuse and to be frank we're not going through all that again, we're not the police. One man did have a go because people were coming in and shopping without masks but we politely pointed out to him that (as i said) we're not the the police.

I never stopped wearing, both because I'm an introvert and happy to hide inside one, and also I live with someone who hasn't been able to get vaccinated for various reasons (is NOT anti-vaxx).

Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
My local supermarket has been ~80% masked up all the way through, it’s the smaller shops round here that saw mostly unmasked folk, will have a look next time an in town to see if that’s changed at all now…

It must really depend on where you are....mask wearing had really dropped to a small minority here up to this point.

Local tesco has changed the sign to say mask wearing is mandatory. No mention of exemptions.
95% were wearing last night. It had been down to about 50 /50

Mask wearing noticeably gone up around here the last few days, from maybe 20% to 80% as a SWAG, but still quite a number not bothering and there's no sign of any more enforcement by shops at all. Not even notices/signs which would be easy. Big supermarket near me (Asda) doesn't seem to care tbh, staff not mostly bothered for months.

Thing is you can't expect shop staff to enforce this, at best they'll get an "I'm exempt" response at worse a torrent of abuse and possible violence from the more extreme lunatics.
