I think part of it is laziness and another is not wanting the mask to get lost or dirty. Maybe there's other reasons, dunno.

I don't get the people I see driving in their car alone wearing mask... makes no sense.

I'll wear it inside where I'm supposed to because It is mandated, other than that I don't wear it. Will not wear one outside.

The only reason I can think people wear a mask in a car alone is if they work for a food or grocery delivery and is required to do so?

I wear a bandana. Same bandana every time I go in a store. I leave It in my hot truck to kill germs. Wash once a week.

Funniest thing to me is that most people are wearing these cloth masks that don't have a barrier which do absolutely nothing for the wearer or anyone around them. I'm guessing most have no idea and just wearing it because it's colorful or it's easier to breathe or simply don't understand they are defeating the purpose of wearing a mask. Of course, some fully know but don't care as long as no one hassles them.

The level of ignorance around when it's effective and what kind of mask works for what purpose has been amazing to watch. I'm guessing most people just get their information from their twitter feed headline and never bother to actually read anything

I was at a restaurant sitting outside and waiter came up with an N95 mask, the ones with the exhale port. I told her that she had a great mask for protecting herself but not for protecting the restaurant patrons. She's said she forgot her mask that day and the manager gave the one she was wearing. I didn't care since we were sitting outside but wow.

OP is so triggered that he gets extra mad when someone outdoors has a mask on. Such a Karen, standing at your front window complaining to the dog that the neighbor mowed too early, and why do they park on the street, and pull up your damn pants.

When is the correct time to mow a dog?

Who cares?

Parking on the street just means you're a hoarder with too much crap in your garage, or knowingly bought a vehicle that doesn't fit in said garage. Either way....

I am guessing you are not 72 years old.

Or you have 6 kids, or you have toddlers and it's not safe to back 100 feet down the driveway, or you made your garage into a man cave.

What does it matter? This post shows there is still a long way to go to accepting masks in this country which is troubling.

Most of the reasons have already been posted -- making multiple stops so no need to continuously take it on and off, and more people are getting used to it that they forget they have it on. Sometimes I'm driving in my car after getting out of work and forget that I've had it on until I realize half way home. So what?

Isn't there an argument to be made that we never get ourselves to a point that we ever "accept" masks? Sure, a short term solution to help potentially slow the spread of the virus, but the goal is to get to a point we can throw these God awful F'ers away or burn them symbolically in the streets while celebrating the fact we never have to wear them again. I feel that too many seem to want the mask thing to stay with us forever. Wouldn't something have had to go very very wrong for that to be the case?

We are working on this. Problem is it sucks in this heat! We will start using it more come late September and all winter/spring.

I put a mask on only as a courtesy to restaurant and retail employees. I'm not going to make life more difficult for people that already have crappy jobs. However, that courtesy ends as soon as I step outside.

The whole no face touching and extra hand washing thing does not enter my calculus. I've accepted the fact that everyone, myself included, is going to catch this mild illness. I will continue to make as few changes to my life as possible until the collective irrational fear in this country has subsided.

A lot of truth in this statement.

Yep. Although I'm not convinced everyone will have it as some point. I think the r rating can get to a point where it spreads to minimally that plenty will end up avoiding it. Maybe only 60/70/80% get it. And the absolute most vulnerable stand a better chance of NOT getting the faster the younger crowd spreads it. That's been my general thought. But for the most part, those not isolating themselves will almost all end up getting it at some point. Hopefully only those that need to avoid it do. And the rest of us let society get back to normal ASAP. In Texas I think we are over that hump. With or without masks from this point on. But many don't agree. That's okay

But in general. Other than wearing masks indoors when required, I haven't changed anything else as of now
