I will only wear if totally necessary. You gotta have fun with it. My 'mask', if I must wear one, is an old short sleeve t shirt - sleeve. They fit snug (if needed) and can be carried easily in a pocket. And when you put it on you look like that old Mortimer character in the Bazooka Joe bubblegum comics that used to come wrapped around the stale gum.
It's tempting to put a slogan on them like
"Reject your programming"
and image of a Gadsden Flag....

Reason: additional
Ya know...I'm kind of getting used to it. I wear one for at least an hour a day since I have to have it on when I visit my sister in hospice.
It all depends on your perspective - it seems like a very small "sacrifice" to keep others safer. There are far worse things in life as most, if not all, of us will learn.
I just wear it when mandatory and necessary like going to work or grocery shopping.
Doing things like go to Six Flags, the beach, the park, shopping at the mall, movie theater? Hell nahhhh.
Meh I wear one. I have a few different ones. Found a bunch of old 1960s fat cotton type, some newer surgical ones. Have a bunch of 95 masks but i keep,those for others. A few keffiyehs I picked up here and there from buddies who got used to wearing them in Afghanistan, a bunch of different style respirators from my old confined space training and jobs although I refurbished most of them with new glass and filters and gave those away already.
Yeah it sucks. Could be worse. You could be on a ventilator
I am finding as the temp rises it's getting harder for me to breathe with a mask on but I wear it when I need to go shopping. It's a minor irritation and as someone else said there are worse things in life.
I went to get my blood test (required by my oncologist) and half the patients in the labcorp were not wearing masks or following any kind of distancing. Why it was not mandated in a health setting is beyond me , but it was upsetting.
I don’t like them, but with 100 different “experts” with differing opinions ..who the heck are you supposed to believe? For now I will error on the side of caution and wear the thing.
Luckily we don’t go into town very often. I’ve not been off the property since 3/10.

Can't we be doing what we're supposed to be doing, but still dislike it very much?
I only wear a face mask where I have to when I have to.
I don't get people driving in their car with a face mask on.
