I had to go to the drugstore, a CVS which is inside a Target store. To enter the store, you had to be wearing a mask or its equivalent, which everyone was. I was walking to the pharmacy and passed a family, father, mother, maybe 10-year-old son, who had masks on, but they had pulled them down around their necks. I stared but did not say anything. In my defense, I didn't want to start anything in front of their kid, but on reflection, I should have pointed them out to a store staff member.
Does anyone have a suggestion for people like me who can talk a big battle here but are a little timid in real life? I realize the least I should have done is to rat them out, but I wanted to tell them that their masks were to protect me, not them (which is kind of why I'm guessing they weren't wearing theirs).
I had a friend who was great at this kind of thing: she would have asked them, politely, why their masks were down, and a civilized conversation would have ensued. I guess I always want to tear someone's head off, and I'm scared to do that.
