I am going to start taking pictures of maskless people in the store -Maskholes of my city

[demtenjeep]

I am tired of people being stupid. IT clearly states on the doors Masks MUST BE WORN

Security is right there handing them out...........

I have both shots and 3 weeks after so I am immunized BUT we are so very close to beating this and even when the guard at the entrance gives them masks they end up in the rows without it.



Tonight I got so pissed I started taking pictures of those not wearing masks.



my other thought was to take my vape and blow it in their face.


GOD I am so pissed.

[Atticus]

1. Great idea. Let them worry about what will be done with the photos. I will do the

same as soon as I am 14 days past my second vaccination.

2. I am hashtagging #maskholesofWichita

on all of mine


but maybe we should all just do

3. Is vaping allowed in the stores?

[demtenjeep]

4. NO but they are supposed to wear masks so .............

there is that



if anyone gets at me for vaping I will push for masking



that is my point

[Treefrog]

6. Oh, gotcha, the old "two wrongs make a right" thing, huh?

[ChubbyStar]

12. Ahhhh

Keep being concerned, it is very sweet.

[Treefrog]

13. Thanks!

But I think you may have misinterpreted. Concern is not what I’m feeling here.

[ChubbyStar]

14. Whoosh

Welcome to DU!

[Treefrog]

16. Oh, I heard you loud and clear. I've seen your posts long before I joined.

But thanks again!

[ChubbyStar]

18. Sure thing Pongo

[Treefrog]

23. I'm not at all sure why you've decided to be so unpleasant to me, but that's all good.

Cheers!

[demtenjeep]

27. thank you

[KarenS]

5. Please be careful doing that,,,, some of these maskholes, vaxholes and covidiots are aggressive.

[Blue_true]

11. Yes, they can be, especially when they believe they can beat a person up. nt

[Beachnutt]

7. Great Idea but what will you do with the pictures ?

Any ideas ?
Also take a picture of the signs saying MASK REQUIRED.
Could the pictures be printed out and put in strategic locations ?

8. Back to normal for a lot of people. Scary.

9. Keep your distance from them and ignore them. That is the best course of action.

To me, they really don’t exist in any form other than a dumbassed obstacle that I need to avoid.

[Ms. Toad]

17. They are responsible for the increase in cases -

and for exteding the duration of the pain for the rest of us. They are not just an obstacle to avoid. They are a real danger, and there needs to be a response that improves compliance. I just haven't figured out what that is yet.

[Blue_true]

19. Let private businesses and the government (local, state, federal)

deal with them. As a private citizen, all I can do is not let them infect me. When I see one, if I can’t physical distance, I move out of their expired air ASAP. The only alternative is an argument and potentially a fistfight (if they even chose to use fists). In Florida, with the rabid gun culture, that is not a safe choice.

[Ms. Toad]

22. Unfortunately,

enforcement is not happening via private businesses and the government.

I'm still contemplating taking photos, but what I would do would be to send them to the government entities as proof of failure by the business to enforce the health orders/ordinances. Right now - they don't seem to be responsive to resports of failure to enforce.

[Blue_true]

24. I see. Discreetly taking photos may work.

You can be very discreet with your phone, even if they notice you, they wouldn’t know that you took a photo, and if they ask, just tell them that you see things better on your phone when you hold it up in light.

25. I hashtagged #maskholes

you would be surprised at the number of posts already there.

10. It's like they're TRYING to create worse variants.

I doubt that they think that way, of course. They're mostly just being selfish.

Yet that kind of behavior could indeed make it worse for everybody, even the vaccinated.

The longer that a virus survives and spreads among hosts, the greater the odds of a random genetic mutation that is much more lethal.

[Ms. Toad]

15. I got into a pissing contest with a cop two nights ago.

The store was in a city with an ordinance that prohibits transacting business (indoors) with anyone not wearing a mask and requires businesses to enforce mask orders, in a county with a health order that requires businesses to enforce the mask order, and a state with a mask order - requiring businesses to enforce the mask order.

About 20 customers, more than 10 unmasked. Including a police officer (for the city with the ordinance). Not only did he inform one of the unmasked individuals that businesses were entitled to make their own rules as a private business, he was unmasked.

I asked him why he wasn't wearing a mask. He told me he was just waiting for his order. I reminded him he was in a city with a mask ordinance, a county with a mask order, and a state with a mask order and asked, again, why he wasn't wearing a mask. He grudgingly pulled up a gaitor to just below his nose and muttered at me "For all the good it is going to do."

Thoughts after the incident:

I got away with the pissing contest with the cop because I'm a white female.

I should have asked him if I could punch him in the face inside the store because it was a private business & the law doesn't apply insice private businesses.

Cops have identifiers - so I at east have the minor satisfaction that there are now two reports (state and county) calling him out for violating the law.

But - I'm so done with people who can't take minor steps to protect others for long enough to get this beast under control. Yes. I hate it - but I'm complying (and have been since the first week in March in 2020). I'm sick and tired of all of these restrictions - but these maskholes who are refusing to put up with a bit of inconvenience are extending my misery.

20. Saw my first maskhole today

And the county I live in right now has the highest covid infection numbers in the state.
I told him to put on a mask. He walked past me ,and kept walking,out of the store thankfully.

I ain't gonna be silent to maskholes, not when the danger of a surge is as high as it is,and not when my county has such a high infection/ hospitalization rate.

Glad I have at least one shot of moderna in me. Second shot is on the 5th.

26. hubby told me to be quiet, I wasn't in my classroom . But at this point in this time I am DONE bein

quiet


I'm gonna call it out and take pictures!



the

#maskholes

is huge

[Hortensis]

28. :) Too late. Many people are vaccinated now and more every day.

And maybe they should also still be wearing masks, but it's now a mistake to assume that everyone without a mask is willing to spread disease.

You need a new plan. Find a group making good trouble or just doing nice things and join those people.

[Ms. Toad]

29. The mask rules apply to everyone.

Not just the unvaccinated.
