after months of muttering under my breath at people in the supermarket I’ve finally cracked

1. I need several of those, but in French!

[Ferrets are Cool]

2. I would add

a comma and the word STUPID

[KS Toronado]

5. I'm with you.

[Towlie]

45. Supermarkets should announce "Attention shoppers, dicknose in aisle three!"

[mindem]

3. I want one that says

"I'm Not Who You Think I Am"

[3catwoman3]

4. Oh, I WANT one of these!

Maybe a couple different styles should be available.

I’d also like one that says, “It goes over your nose, dumbass!”

[crickets]

11. +1

[calimary]

15. I want one, too!

[LuckyCharms]

6. Do they make one that says "If you come near me, I'll kill you"?

[Greybnk48]

10. "Don't fucking touch me."

My daughter just bought a pink phone cover, with a red heart in the middle, with "don't fucking touch me" written in the heart.

[ShazzieB]

40. I don't know, but I saw one that said

"If you can read this, you're too close!"

[rustysgurl]

7. A full third of the retail people I've encountered

need to know this as well. I reminded one clerk at Lowe's about that earlier this year. I think my statement was, "Dear, you might as well take that off your face right now if you're not going to cover your nose with it." She glared at me, mumbled something about how "uncomfortable" it was, pulled it up and then was snarky to me for the remainder of the transaction. Unfortunately for her, I'm friends with one of the managers there.

I'm getting to be a cranky old lady and I don't brook nonsense from stupid people. Of course, I'm very "brave" in a crowd. With crazy neighbors, it seems to be a different story ... lol.

[Evolve Dammit]

25. Stand tall!

[lunatica]

30. I think you've shown great bravery with your neighbors

You told the son to back off and didn’t cower doing it and you called the police just like you said you would. And all you pointed at him was your iPhone. I think you’re phenomenal!

[flibbitygiblets]

32. +1

I'm brave in a crowd too. But being reactive with crazy people who know where you live does not signify lack of bravado, it signifies emotional intelligence. Something your neighbors seem to know nothing about.

9. When I go to Wal-Mart half the workers have their masks below their nose.

And now I've seen slot of them wearing a square of cloth with elastic on the top. Bottom and sides are wide open.

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Call the corporate office in AR. Report it. It helps. Any big chain wants to know you are displeased

[SunSeeker]

12. K & R & Retweeted!

[Alsteen]

13. I always ask them

If they'd walk around with their d!ck hanging out.

[calimary]

14. Welcome to DU, Alsteen!

GOOD one!


Maybe they do this because they know they can't walk around with their d!ck hanging out (but secretly wish they could)?

[JMK1]

17. 13. I always ask them

In golf when a guy tees off from the men's tees & his tee shot doesn't make it past the ladies tees, he plays that hole with a 'dick out'.

[gopiscrap]

20. welcome to DU

[Alsteen]

39. Thanks.

Been around for years, just don't say much.

[cwydro]

43. Sure ya do. nt

[FailureToCommunicate]

16. Sadly, that message goes over many people's head.

[LAS14]

18. Yes!!!! What are people THINKING???????? nt

[Solly Mack]

19. I need several.

[Hekate]

21. Just spoke to my sis who said the same thing about muttering under her breath...

So I sent this to her.. Thanks!

I want one that reads: You buckle up in your car, don’t you?

[birdographer]

22. If they look like they won't try to kill me

(as so many trumpers do), I point out that if little COVID molecules in the air land on their mask, they are sucking them up into their nose, similarly to how trump sucks up his cocaine. Doesn't do any good, of course.

[LymphocyteLover]

23. my other pet peeve (an even worse problem) is people who pull their mask down to talk!

[MoonlitKnight]

27. Even worse...

The ones who take it off to listen.

[LymphocyteLover]

28. LOL!!!

is that just a joke or you've seen people do that?

[MoonlitKnight]

34. I have seen lots of people do it

It is soooo stupid.

[Maru Kitteh]

42. I had a freakin' NURSE do this to me! Said she couldn't understand what I said then

took her mask down to LISTEN to me. I looked at her and said, "So you're taking your mask down to hear me better? How does that work!?"

[Elwood P Dowd]

29. Trump and his fans have to pull it off when they take a dump.

[Wednesdays]

33. Or this...

[roamer65]

37. A walrus with a MAGAt hat.

[Evolve Dammit]

24. Ain't that the truth! God that pisses me off. I've told people, "Y'know that doesn't work" unless..

responses vary. Some grudgingly pull it up, others have blank stares, no fights yet. Your idea of a mask slogan is a good one. Patent and market it!

[DanieRains]

31. It Goes Over Your Nose Dumbass

Is what mine would say.

[Niagara]

35. Agreed.

It's not much of a problem where I live. Although, I went out of state recently and this was an issue for me with other customers and retail workers not wearing their masks correctly.

[roamer65]

36. Mine have a big biohazard symbol on the front.

I like reminding people of reality.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

38. I heard someone refer to the nose as

the face penis. "I see your face penis" should become the national motto.

[ShazzieB]

41. Love that!

I wouldn't have the nerve to say it, but I LOVE it!

[jimlup]

44. Yes, I've had to tell store employees that ...

I mean really? I guess bagging groceries doesn't require a degree in biology but you would think that
management could explain it to them.

[BobTheSubgenius]

46. She looks a LOT like my stepdaughter, except a little younger, I think.

That's just the kind of thing she would wear, too.

I saw a guy using his as some sort of chin support....or chin warmer. I'm not really sure what his goal was.

[lagomorph777]

49. Love it!!!

[lagomorph777]

48. Genius!

[TheDemsshouldhireme]

50. My favorite is the chin strap mask

not covering the mouth or the nose, like whats the point. I have a shirt I ordered online that says "dont be an asshole just where the damn mask". Ive been getting compliments from strangers and dont care one iota if the magats dont like it.

[muriel_volestrangler]

51. I saw a man in a supermarket, mask around chin, and sticking his pen in his mouth

no doubt before proceeding to handle the pen, and then items. I made to sure go a different way around.

[58Sunliner]

52. I should have that one, along with wear your effing mask.
