I never wear one except when I go to the gym. I keep one in my bag and put it on just before going in. Then, when I get over in the corner, I pull it down so my nose is clear. Otherwise I couldn't get my heart rate up without fainting or worse. But the other day I just spaced out and forgot to put it on. Nobody complained. I go along with the charade because the staff are kind and some customers are really paranoid. So am I a hypocrite? I suppose. Outside the gym maybe only one in ten people are not wearing masks and we sometimes exchange conspiratorial glances.

I never wear one except twice to the beer store and twice to Walmart this summer, and even half of all those times my bandana had "fallen". If I didn't need those things and wasn't accompanied by my big talking but ultimately cowardly/compliant friend who drove then I wouldn't wear it on principle - just as everywhere else, including the grocery and hardware stores where I take no shit even when they try to give it. Fuck the paranoid idiots. They can be paranoid as they like, but they get ZERO control over me.

If it were a real masquerade charade game then it might be fun and worth doing.

I get you and understand. In this country (not the US as Jason knows) it is important to preserve the wa or peace so I make a concession for the gym because it is close, not expensive, and not crowded and I'd like to continue going there. As soon as I'm outside the gym, the mask comes off but then I'm just some anonymous foreign person who maybe didn't read the memo. Only at the gym I follow the dictum: when in Rome, do as the Romanians do.
