I don't wear a mask while driving or in open spaces, unless I have multiple stops to make and forgot my hand sanitizer.

I forgot mine the other day while shopping and one of the ladies who worked there gave me a hard time about it. She had a home-made kerchief...that I saw her put on and take back off as She waited on customers. I told her that I had forgotten my mask at home, but that maybe it was for the best, since I can't seem to stop touching the mask, which is likely worse than having no mask at all. I think she got the point.
I never saw her change gloves between handling money and her mask, either...
This same lady bragged to me about spraying some guy I'm the face with Lysol because he coughed while at the register. I have allergies and occasionally clear my throat. I'd love to see her face if she did this to me and I had to swat the darned can out of her hand!
There's a testing video out there on the proper way to get fitted for an N95 mask. You're supposed to check for leaks and make sure that metal bit is shaped to your nose and once you put it on, you're not supposed to touch it. I see too many people touching and adjusting their regular mask all the time which defeats the purpose if it's supposed to be contaminated. I saw one lady kept taking it off her nose and trying to talk to me, I took a step back and told her I couldn't hear her as there was music playing in the store.
Anyway, I'd love to see the video of you swatting the can away!
