    Is it Me or are people losing their minds?

    I walked into a gas station and there was a guy waiting in line to pay for gas. I walked right by him, pretty close, but no contact. The most I could have walked far away is another foot to the left before I would be too close to the lady at the counter paying for gas. So I walked by him to go get a coffee and he says “What the gum is wrong with you?” I pause, turn around and look at him and he says “you walked right by me”. He is wearing a mask, guy is probably 50-55, 6’4. I just said I’m sorry and went to get my coffee. Was I in the wrong here? If hes wearing a mask why does he care?

    sit in restaurants are opening up everywhere in SoCal

    for now... 1/3 of the normal tables

    there's talk about closing off some streets/blocks after 7pm and moving tables out on sidewalks & streets -- Like Street Scene

    Welcome to the last 15-20 years. The internet and social media have shown and accelerated people's craziness. But seriously penetrate that guy, he's going to curse like that. He could've just asked you if you could try to keep your distance from him more like a normal person.

    not worth the argument, just walk away. i could have had numerous fights with people already over distance and bumping and such. just trying to keep my cool and realize the scenario we are in.

    if i am in a tight spot like in the supermarket or bakery, where we have to wear masks here to enter both, and someone wants to pass i just move as much as i can and turn away. i try to meet people halfway. some do not bother. sounds like this guy did not try to give you room either.

    I will question your judgement. Why buy coffee from a gas station? You know who touched the cups or the machine before? You are looking to get infected.

    You guys must live on the East Coast or in Great Lakes area. I live in the Midwest and this shit is a joke. Nobody is wearing masks, nobody is distancing, people are still shaking hands and having big parties, pools and casinos are open, bars people packed in shoulder to shoulder. The virus simply doesn't exist here. If it did, everyone would have it by now cause nobody is taking precautions, yet we're all fine. If you look at America, we just passed 100k deaths from Covid. Some states have very very low amount of that 100k and others like NY, NJ, MI have way disproportionately high amount of that 100k. It's bad in big liberal cities. Shits a joke everywhere else. Most red states are still below 1k deaths. Some blue states have disproportionately 10k, 20k deaths.

    The mask protects YOU, not him. He was taking care of you not himself.

    Yeah a lady today at pickleball wouldn't touch paddles after a game. She says "we're gonna spread virus if we do"

    I pointed out that we all touched the same gate handle to get in, we all touch the same ball to play, all touch the same fountain to drink

    She just shook her head and out her mask on.

    People are fukking stupid sometimes.

    I'm shocked at how so many states, MN one if them, just train sheep to oblige without question, government.
