Which is really why I replied. The rules change constantly but the ideas should be simple.

Speaking of rules, I recently flew through MUC airport. I had a few hours to spare before the next flight so I though I'd eat something.

You should know that I was wearing a mask, which is still mandatory at German airports. British and Belgian, too, but that's beside the point. Anyway, I found a breakfast kind of place that looked OK, so I waited in line to be seated. When it was my turn, the German lady handling the tables looked at me very sternly. I'm not good at reading eyes but there was no doubt here; she was upset. She started telling me in German that my mask was all wrong. *Nein!* You're not to enter with that mask.

What was wrong with my mask? It's the usual surgical kind, used by surgeons who try not to infect their patients while operating on them. What's wrong with it?

It is dizallowed!

She disappeared for a moment and then came back with a different kind, an FFP2 mask that looked stiff and unforgiving, and ordered me to put it on. *Jawohl!* I did, and she led me to my table, 10 or 15 metres away. She left me, I took off my mask, and I ordered food, and I never wore that mask again.

I know the mask you're talking about. They look uncomfortable.

Me:  Excuse me.  You need to be wearing a mask if you come near me.

Them (defiantly):  WHY?

Me:  Because you're ugly.

Apparently they're dropping mask mandates for Heathrow. I hope it's not too early.

Old Geezer yelling at me coming outside of the Walmart: You know we don't have to wear that anymore right?

Me *oblivious to the Old Geezer's comments*: I feel pretty, oh so pretty... wait... why the hell am I singing West Side Story in my head?

I'm quite oblivious.... just as I was when that Italian Anti-masker/Anti-vaxxer was claiming me in my profile pic on Facebook wearing a mask was causing a lack of oxygen to my head.

Two-timing twat only got my blunt honesty, and my annual giving of GIFs.

Remove the mask, hug him, and tell him how glad you are that someone finally accepts your covid.

Almost all the people I see wearing masks these days are wearing them wrong, you would think after all this time they would have figured it out by now
