Five seconds after making my previous post I went to the bakery right down the street and didn't realize I'd forgotten my mask until I was there. I'm breaking new records for hypocrisy.

I was the only one customer there and the girl behind the counter didn't seem to care, but I still sheepishly apologized

I wash my hands before going out, but I don't bring sanitizer with me, or wear gloves.

I do like your coronapunk attitude and outfit. Is coronapunk a thing yet? If we turn it into a fad we can get the kids on board

I keep a mask in the glovebox of my car for this exact reason. I forget stuff like this all the time, so I keep one in my car, in my work bag, and on my nightstand with my wallet. If I didn't have them everywhere I'd be forgetting them basically 24/7.

I use one of those neoprene half-mask construction respirators with the P100 filters and always keep it clipped around my neck when I’m driving because otherwise I will totally forget it on my seat when I get out.

I can solve everybody's problem here and a few problems you didn't know you had. You shouldn't be especially handling your PPE outside of a warm zone donning/doffing station after which you wash your hands. Have a dedicated spot you visit on the way out of your house everytime to get your corona kit and don your mask. It should be out of the way of what you normally do, in a utility room or garage or such. But unmissable on your way out. Visit it every time on the way in and immediately hit the sink right after.

No throwing it in the car seat. No relying on emergency ones squirreled way who knows where gathering who knows what. You do not touch it unless you are at your home station, or on/near a bathroom to wash your hands before eating.

Any protection is good protection so feel free to ignore all of the above as long as you are wearing a mask, but it's important PPE and everybody's outlook increases if you treat it like real PPE.

It sucks rear end that the ear loop makes took off rather than the back headstrap. It's so much easier to put it around my neck for when I'm driving and alone rather than having to futz with putting the whole thing back on around my ears. Way more comfortable too. And easier to wear sunglasses with.

We realized our local mask requirement (not enforced at the time) had gone into effect just as my husband was heading into a restaurant to pick up dinner. I MacGyvered a bandanna mask out of a cleanish microfiber rag in the glove compartment and a paper ribbon. It did the trick for those few minutes, though it looked really silly. We're better prepared now.

I've seen some with ear loops and a neck loop specifically for temporarily lowering your mask. But they're pretty rare, and probably not the easiest to Google.

It could be worse.

Not sure how, but it could be.

The Internet is misunderstanding (partially) this tweet. It's not calling the prior person a "Karen". Karen is the name of the customer service rep who is responding in this case.

Many brands that use the same Twitter handle to do both public posts, as well as customer service responses, will have their customer service person "sign" their tweet so you understand it's coming from an individual, not the brand itself. Basically to help explain why the "voice" of the tweet isn't always the same as the brand's official "voice".

You can confirm this by looking through the other customer service responses on their Twitter page. For example, Brandon here:

https://twitter.com/sainsburys/status/1286417857446912002
Most brands will usually make it clearer by adding a - or ^ in front of the customer service rep's name (eg "- Karen" or "^Brandon").

All that said, it's still a pretty dumb response that could have been worded far better. (eg "We ask that all customers that don't have a medical condition that would prevent them from doing so wear a mask")

Oof, that's unfortunate. I still think the company's response is lovely (they continue to explain their milquetoast policy in the replies) but the tone of that tweet changes completely when you read it as someone's name.

I'll be honest, first thing I did was glance down at my ring in horror. Luckily, the color has faded over the years, so it just looks like a silver band. Yay for $100 wedding rings.

Seems like if it's not allowed then it would be a dumb marketing move and would be thread appropriate. You really got em with a catch 22 here.

Do you make manly masks? Maybe one made out of bear hide and also has harleys printed on it?
