I think that our nerves are more on edge since the pandemic struck. I'm no Karen, but seeing a mask under chins or under the nose it's enough to make want to lock myseful up 'cause it triggers my ocd. Either wear it well or don't wear it at all, unless you're trying to make a point, then it's all good 😄

Yes, I think my OCD is triggered too.. I hate public spaces like that at the best of times. I actually tend NOT to wear a mask as it makes me anxious and being asthmatic I start getting breathless and panicky, but in the close confines of the ferry I was definitely wearing one as I did NOT want to get ill! Gross.
I live in a condo, so you can imagine how fun it is to be in close quarter with people. When the pandemic began, I read up on how viruses can get transmitted. I've never worried about such things before. Through the course of my research, I learned that even when we're breathing normally, little particles come out of our mouths, spread through the air, and enter each other. So with or without a pandemic, it's still gross. Unless you like each other, then it's interesting :)
It's kinda fascinating, right? If you THINK about it, you don't even open a public door without using your elbow. The pandemic made us all hyper aware! I love the thought of us all sharing the same cosmic breath, but in actuality, ewwwwwww.
We have always lived far from people so no chance of inhaling other people's ew-iness. Yet I'm happy to swap spit with nearest and dearest.
Now you're getting into girl cooties territory. Dangerous!
