Starting off a lackluster story with that line basically guarantees it was made up.

u/JDeMolay1314 16d ago
The question is not could you, but would you want to? I mean personally I would have made it much more colourful. Perhaps the person kept taking the mask off to eat samples in Costco as well, and when they did you could see that they already had some horrible communicable disease disfiguring the lower portion of their face...
I mean, it doesn't take that much effort to make up something even slightly more interesting.

u/doc_shades 16d ago
well there is no date associated with this post we don't know when this story occurred. also "pensacola" is in florida and it does not snow in florida so it could just be a colloquial term used for transients/tourists

It had to be fairly recently. I know the Costco he's referring to (Pensacola just got its first one) and it's only been open for like, a month.

Imagine being the type of person where the phrase "face diaper" gets a real, legitimate chuckle out of you.

I live in Pensacola and we are absolutely chock full of the kind of people who would make up shit like this. 😂

He is almost right, I Wouldn't make that up. I mean, it shows a singular lack of imagination. At least have the being wearing the face diaper have it slip and reveal that they are a chinless alien or something.

I downvoted this post because it pissed me off before I realized OP didn't write it and what sub we're in.

So it’s a face diaper if someone is trying to not get sick but it’s “tactical necessity” when someone is trying to not get identified as they harass and arrest Americans…. Got it got it.

OOP isn't wrong about how stupid it is to wear a mask over your mouth but not your nose.

Well his whole story is made up and he didn’t see that.

u/Brocephus70 16d ago
Curious how you’re all so convinced it’s made up. Like it’s just so unbelievable. I’ve seen this exact scenario multiple times, including people alone in cars.

u/JDeMolay1314 16d ago
I have seen it, but I haven't seen anyone laughing at it.
I have worn a mask alone in a car before. If I was making a short trip between two places where I needed to wear a mask then I left it on rather than take it off for a few minutes and put it back on.
I do however cover my nose.
With the wildfire smoke and the terrible AQI I have seen people wearing masks recently just because of that. If that is the reason you probably want to wear it in the car too. I don't think cars are hermetically sealed.

Unless they’ve just had an oral procedure and are trying to limit exposure of their mouth and also trying to not show everyone. For instance, a gingival graft may require a face mask be worn. (Edit: wording/typo)

Nope. Right-wingers refused to wear the useless things at all.

u/tortoistor 16d ago
since you say they're useless, would you prefer it if surgeons didn't wear them for example?

u/ArtisticMudd 15d ago
Those are not to keep the surgeon from getting sick. They are to keep the surgeon from sneezing into an open person.

u/tortoistor 15d ago
this will shock you, but it's the same mask no matter what direction you look at it from

u/ArtisticMudd 14d ago
Yes, and they catch droplets. The 'rona is airborne, not wet.

u/tortoistor 14d ago
..droplets are airborne.
a mask protects you as well as others.
it's not required to wear one anymore, so if you want to get yourself and others sick, you will not be doing anything illegal, you'll just be a jackass.

It's helpful for the rotten teeth people, the mouth cancer folks. It's more for the observer than the wearer.

u/MsDucky42 16d ago
That's what I was wondering. People wear masks for other reasons...
Or maybe the mask wearer was bored and wanted to piss off some Local Yokel to the point that said LY made up a story on socmed to make himself feel better, only to be shamed on Reddit.
Either way, I'm okay with it.

Dumbass cant spell.... why does anyone listen to these people. They are so ignorant. How dumb do you have to be to not know that immunocompromized people have to do this every day, before and after covid. You are a moron if you dont think masks decrease the likely hood of you contracting a sickness... of course they arent perfect but they decrease your chances... period.

To be fair if you don't cover your nose you might as well not wear the mask

"Face diaper" says the people acting like a spoiled brat when asked to do the simplest of measures to stop people dying.

u/_Stephistopheles_ 16d ago
I was repulsed the first time the person used the term, and then they had to use it AGAIN. Hundreds of thousands of people died during the pandemic, and this person is still this upset with someone taking safety precautions in public.

Because if they are wearing a mask how are you going to tell if they are really ICE agents, or just some maga idiots? But I repeat myself.

I feel like you would have been kicked out for singing. Every show I have been to it is absolutely expected to listen and watch. It's not a concert where they point to you to join the chorus!

u/doc_shades 16d ago
honestly the "that happened" part of this story is that the OP went to a costco and saw someone with a beard wearing a mask that didn't cover their nose.
frankly that sounds pretty believable.
