Why are you still wearing a mask...wrong? (beehaw.org)

All the time I have people come in to work wearing a mask, which is fine normally, good for them, but they are wearing them on their chin, chin diaper style. Not covering up anything. Or at best just their mouth, sometimes. Nobody is making these people wear a mask anymore, so why are they doing it at all if they are just going to do it wrong? Is it an attempt at a political statement? A lack of education? I end up baffled for a while every time I see one of these people.

I would understand if they wore it on their chin outside or not near people and put it back up when inside or close or talking to people. Still good practice to do so if you’re sick and contagious. And fine to take a rest from wearing it outside.

Yeah, for sure, but I work inside and talk to people. A few people do it right at least.

I'll never forget the day where i was grocery shopping in the worst part of the pandemic and that old lady next to me took off her mask to just sneeeeeeze the fuck around.
