So I am pulling up to the gas pump yesterday, and I see a 50-60’s-ish lady in her Honda Civic, wearing a mask while driving inside her car, pull up to the pump about the same time and start fussing with her mask. I thought no big deal - people wear masks nowadays (I am not one of them), and must be straightening it out before exiting her car. So as I start pumping gas in my car, I look over at her, and notice what she was doing was putting on an additional mask. I thought whatever. Then she proceeded to put on gloves to use the gas pump handle (guessing she was afraid there might be Covid germs on the handle. Then she went over to the towel dispenser on the gas pump island, get a couple of towels, and carefully placed them on the gas pump handle so as to use the towels as an additional barrier besides the gloves.
It must be a terrible thing to live in that kind of fear.
I could only imagine she has already been fully vaccinated with the most current dose available, but still lives in that kind of fear. I wondered if she hasn’t seen family and friends in months/years, and has her food delivered.
I felt sad that there are people who live isolated, alone, and with that kinda fear.
They are not really living.

I see teenage negroes walking around on the state college campus here with that grinding wheel face shield and masks on.
Walking outside on sidewalks, across grassy commons areas.

I was in Baltimore airport last weekend and noticed a 60+ woman,as she sat down across from me. She had a mask on(everyone in airport had to) she then put on a second mask, then proceeded to eat some nuts/cashews or such by pulling the 2 masks down between each handful of peanuts.

I had someone remark to me that I wasn't wearing a mask....I pointed to my shadow and said " Look! I'm not afraid of my shadow either!"

We know an older 70+ couple who are about as paranoid as that described by the OP. Scarcely ever been out of the house except for groceries in last 18 months. They get home with the groceries and wipe down every article with sanitizing wipes before taking it in the house.

The sanitizing wipes are anti-bacterial......this is a virus we are dealing with.

I have no problem whatsoever with people wearing masks.

There's a very attractive Oriental lady that comes in the Walmart Neighborhood Market by my house. Wouldn't know what she looks like these days, though. Always has a full face mask, big Marilyn Monroe sunglasses, long gloves, long dresses, and a huge woven sun hat (whatever that's for?). Wipes everything down. Don't blame her for that part. Lotta ball scratchers and butt sniffers around here. Poor thing.

Damn shame that people are scared to death of something that kills less than ONE percent of the people who get COVID-19. There's a lot of people who wear a mask into and out of a restaurant. Talk about some dumb SOB's.

There is a clown that works for the corn processing facility that I'm working at in KCMO that wears a mask,goggles and a face shield. Along with the blue latex gloves. I don't understand n the fear either. The place requires a mask everywhere but in the break room Actually the mask requirement is a Jackson County mandate. Mayor Quintin Lucas can kiss the really brown part of my ass too ! Very few of the building trades workers there comply with the mandate

I saw an idiot riding his bicycle down the road wearing a mask the other day. And a black lady in the grocery store wearing one. She was the only one in the whole store wearing one.
I just shake my head and laugh at them.

Could be that she has some real problem with lungs or such and contracting covid would mean her death. Don't judge some one unless you know for sure the circumstances

We had a table saw set up outside at night. Under the lights ripping MDF was some nasty looking chit. Masks have a place and time.
