Last week I was camping in one of my favorite campgrounds on the coast, Honeyman State Park on the Oregon coast. And damned if I wasn't harassed for wearing a mask. I needed to take a piss, went to the restroom and pulled my mask up before going in. Like the sign on the door said. Face coverings are required inside park buildings.
Hardly anybody else were wearing masks but it's no big deal to me. Then this guy sees me wearing a mask and starts peppering me with questions: We are wearing masks again huh? (he wasn't) Are you vaccinated? Then why are you wearing a mask? Not as if he was threatening me or anything but damn. I didn't know him, didn't say anything to him before he started going off. I didn't argue, I said we both have access to the same information and told him that I wouldn't respond to his questions.
When I got back home, I heard about this guy:
Who is Ryan Bartels? Anti-masker man physically 'harasses' elderly woman for wearing a mask
meaww.com
It seems to have been planned. The guy had a wingman who watched his back while Bartels haranged an elderly woman and other passengers about masking up.
Makes me wonder if the right wing echo chamber has started telling people to go out and harass people for following safety guidelines..

I'm guessing he was butt hurt for having to go back to wearing a mask and was just voicing his own frustration. But still, imagine the situation.
We were on vacation at the coast and having a pretty good time. I was staring at the wall while pissing in the urinal and some stranger in the stall next to me was peppering me with questions about why I was wearing a mask -- like the sign at the door said we should. It was about as banal of a situation as it gets.

Should have turned to talk to him while in the act. Then without saying anything just reply, "Never mind."

We are likely days or a few weeks away from a ”stand your ground” incident with one these MAGAt Nutjobs shooting someone for masking up or getting the vaccine but they “feared for their lives from the covid shedding vaccine”. Seriously, I CC now because of these fucking idiots.

It’s the smart move for sure.

Maybe say "sorry 'bout the shoes" as well? Just to be polite of course.

People are already getting killed by anti-maskers. Mostly front line workers like shop clerks and security guards who are tasked with enforcing requirements.
This is probably the most extreme:
2 men shot up a California strip club with an AK-47 after refusing to wear masks, authorities say.
It's your right to carry if you want but I don't think guns are an answer. Practicing de-escalation will save more lives than practicing with a gun. Not that I'm proud of how I handled it. I was surprised and wasn't prepared for what happened. Also, nothing could have been done to stop those jerks in Anaheim from opening fire. Some people are just jerks.

No, I know. There is no point to it, will just make a bad situation worse. I just like the image of some karma going back to the retard.

Yah it is very hard not to get super angry and elevate the situation. I have to take a deep Breath and focus my thoughts elsewhere as soon as possible and try to forget My anger. Many of these people have mental health issues and they need to be ignored because they are clueless. It’s very hard to avoid bumping into them so for me it’s important to be on my guard all the time and wear my
Mask everywhere because they like to cough on me as well.
