Or walking their dog with masks on is so common and sad

Welding masks are great for avoiding retina burns! I have a hard time doing the close my eyes and zap technique.

And wearing gloves in their own damn vehicle! Apparently, hand-washing hasn't caught on as expected. Although I have seen vehicles that I wouldn't get in without a Class III entry suit.

Exam gloves are meant for one "touch" and then remove; like you start an IV and then skin them off and wash your hands. How would you like it if your doc gave you a prostate exam, then palpated your lymph nodes in your neck without removing his gloves? Eww!

I used to but after a few times doing it because of convenience and sanity I don't anymore.

I would have to put the mask on to walk out of my office, walk about 20ft then I'd be outside so I'd take it off. Drive 1/2 mile (30 seconds), put it on again to walk into a store for 2 min. Then walk out, take the mask off, drive 30 seconds put the mask on, walk in...walk 20ft to my office, take it the mask off again...

So I would just leave it on

I think a lot of people do/did this. I know I occasionally find myself driving masked, or even better - sitting in my office working away all alone with a mask on.

That being said, at least 10% of the folks you see doing it believe its necessary to protect themselves.

Yea there's definitely people who wear them to protect themselves from themselves!

Touching your face especially with dirty hands is one of the easiest ways to get sick. What do you think a lot of people are doing when they’re putting on masks, constantly adjusting them, and taking them off? Forget where their nasty hands have been.

Just finished eating at a BBQ place and several employees' masks look like the napkins I used while eating.

I'd rather food workers not wear any mask at all. For sure keeps them from reaching up and touching their face every 10 seconds to adjust the mask.
