Each and every one of these assholes need to be shamed and held accountable. This is nowhere NEAR done yet

I tied to show concern but I got slapped. Now I am so worried about contact with her. I was wearing a mask, plexiglass was up, but I am now worried. But these trumpers think differently ... they are courting death and don't even know it ... and I feel that they hate those of us trying to do our civic duty.

Think.

She may not even have a nephew at all.

You were wearing a mask and the plexiglass was up, and you only have the word of a non-mask wearer about her supposed nephew. Please try not to worry too much about this. I know it's hard!

is whine and complain. I have no sympathy for them. I hope she doesn't get it thanks to that brain dead woman.

Good for you. Stupid people don’t understand the danger. They don’t have the intelligence to connect the dots or to make choices. Your action might save some lives.

anything to "own the libs," right?

Although, deep down, I really don't wish that on her or anybody else.

And if she gets sick, I hope she only gets sick - and not worse. But maybe sick enough that when she recovers, she might have a greater understanding of, and appreciation for, us mask-wearers.

Although frankly I don't wish that on anyone.

steal it, please!

To coin a phrase.

really don't give one concern about the rest of us, we are the MAJORITY. Don't let the bastards take that away from us, I say!

is tall enough to climb (just need mower gas).

This is amazing to me.

In N.C., everywhere is pay at the pump and sanitizer provided right there. I use the paper towels to handle the gas pump anyway, but why go inside?

We spent 3 days this week going back and forth to Pittsburgh for medical reasons and everyone was wearing masks at the places we stopped at. A Home Depot that we drove by had a big sign NO MASK NO SERVICE. However in our part of the state up by the NY border NW end of the state, a lot of them are not wearing masks, but then I live in Republican Trump loving Hell.

open to the public must wear masks and that these same businesses refuse service to anyone entering or trying to enter without a mask. That's why people are wearing them. Lots are taking them off as soon as they leave the store. But go outside and watch walkers, joggers, cyclists, people doing yard work or otherwise working outside and few are wearing masks.

Once PA counties get to the "green" phase of re-opening, only the most risk-averse will still be wearing masks.

FTR, Kwik-Fill gas stations in PA do pump the gas for you.

make employees wear masks. In Trump country they may have them around their necks.

People do wear masks here, but not many have them on when they are outside.

I'm not noticing a lot of the 6' social distancing when shopping except for when people are in line at checkout or the pharmacy. Just out of curiosity, I walked off 6'. It's about 3 normal steps distance for me, the normal distance I'd keep from anyone regardless. Just observing people, it's easy to see they naturally space themselves. Think about it, when sitting in an office, movie theatre, church, classroom, people don't sit right beside others unless it's absolutely necessary. Even with assigned seating, if there are empty seats, people will move to give themselves more space.

Tbh, I think ventilation systems have as much, if not more, to do with spread as masks and social distancing. If I were a business or company, I'd be buying the best air filters I could and installing them.

enforcing the wear mask rule but some are not. When we were in the red, all I heard was whining because they could not go out to eat. Most eat bar food while they guzzle so it was a double whammy for them. I started stocking up on food and hootch in January because I knew even then that it would make it's way here and we had a jackass at the helm so it would be bad. My neighbors all think I am paranoid because when I do go out, I wash whatever I get before I bring it in the house. I also do not let anyone in and talk to people that drop by through the glass storm door. I don't think it is paranoa, I think it is intelligent thinking. And you are right. This is trump country.

keeping yourself safe is more important. Whining seem to be all todays Trump lovers are good for. I stop paying any attention to them after Trump stole the election, I don't need anymore stress in my life. It will take a long time to undo all the damage Trump and his base have done to our nation.

Love it when a person not only speaks up but follows through with action. You're a hero. )

In my area of eastern Michigan I estimate over 90% of the people are wearing masks and about 30% are also wearing gloves.

REALLY

when people speak Michiganese

Excellent

I keep space, do not go into crowded places, and am there for a short time. I take care of me. I read a meme saying to teach kids to yell loudly, he isn't wearing a mask are we going to die, or some such comment. No.

I am not here to direct other people their behavior. If i feel so strongly, I will go to a place where they are required. If they are not, it is not my place to say something. It is a turn off.

you are being too nice, not your fault because you sound like a beautiful person and I say that with love. BUT THEY WILL FUCKING KILL YOU and ME if they don't practice social distancing and WEARING a MASK in public places. Not nice people.

what to do, and rudely at that. And feel self righteously doing it. I am hearing this too much. I do have conversations about wearing masks in public. I do feel it is our responsibility. I do wear because of my health. I look at the environments people do and don't and then take actions when I see a lack of concern. But I do not agree with this attitude or thought.

I am the odd one out, obviously. Mostly people agree with this. I don't.

around the highway. A fisherman that insists on casting his line toward a bunch of kids at the shore. That's dangerous behavior that should be confronted or reported. When one is able, one should. It's very much part of the new reality we find ourselves in.

It's not the risk to the violators; it's the risk to everyone else, and in particular, those who have to step in to protect everyone else.

that speaking up changes anything. Which I seriously doubt.

Actually, I believe very few of these stories I read on du, so there is that. They are fun to read though!

Where I live masks aren’t ordered and most aren’t wearing them (lower mainland of BC). I wear mine but I’m not interested in schooling anyone.

It has been coming across as very chest thumping.

Choice, about everyone is wearing a mask. I go into Walmart, I am sitting in about 15% mask wearers. So, I go to Walmart early and get just what I need and am out of there quickly, then go shop in Market of Choice.

Everyone needs to stop minding other people's business. I was bagging my groceries the other day, wearing a mask because it was required, and this store employee came racing up to me to tell me that the cashier and I, who had our backs to each other while we went about our business, were too close and she then proceeded to move all my groceries to the checkout line next to the one I was using. Meanwhile, she was face to face with me. I was not rude about it and she then went on to say that her husband was in the hospital dying of COVID. It occurred to me to wonder why she was working n a customer facing position under the circumstances.

I'm sure she felt she was well justified in doing what she did, but in fact, she inserted herself into a situation that had nothing to do with her and it was not appreciated.

the only control I have is over myself and my own behaviors. People are pretty fucking nuts on a good day.

The self righteous routine is old and worn out. It is also not effective.

I am the same way. I credit that for my rarely being sick or catching whatever is "going around".

i live on a street that has a lot of foot traffic.
when the morons pass by, i tell their backs- that’s not safe
when someone is doing it right i thank them.
i let karma take it from there.

By the way, the gas stations around me seem to be the same way. None of the clerks are wearing masks, and I haven't seen a single customer wearing them either. (Observed from my car, sanitizing my hands after paying-at-the-pump.)

In both cases there is a good chance someone is going to suffer or die.

My mask is to protect YOU...Your mask is to protect ME. That is why we have to be in this together.

And that is why the trump attitude is so callous and harmful - it promotes division, not Solidarity, when the best weapon we have against this biological menace is Solidarity.

Competition is promoted far more than cooperation.

It's why I figured this country was screwed after the virus got here. That, and the idiot in the White House.

This is a war. Make not mistake. We elected a democratic Governor so we've managed to land on the right side of history.

Are there no pay at the pump stations in Michigan?

I can’t remember the last time I had to go inside a store to pay for gas.

An “I don’t care about you”, “you mean nothing”, “I could give a shit”....

Have always hated that dismissive phrase.....So condescending, rude and flip.

Glad you reported her!

Really, you are not going to change their minds. Frankly it reminds me of the good christians who feel the need to tell me how to live my life. Setting an example of being cautious and polite Is how I think we should act. If you are upset when people do not wear masks I think you should search out where it is a requirement and go only to those places.

Thinking someone will change their mind about wearing a mask just because a complete stranger tries to shame them into it is just silliness imo.
