I'm in a training class for a new job and I swear one guy has gotten half the class sick. I wear a mask every day and have been okay but multiple people who have been sneezing, sniffing, and coughing every 10 seconds ask me why I'm wearing a mask??

Patient zero finally took a mask today on the 5th day but he's wearing it over his chin and it's not covering his mouth or nose at all. He keeps standing like a foot away from me and when I move away from him he steps closer to me again what the fuck

I'm going to become the jonkler Jesus Christ I can't stand it

Does he understand what a mask is for? Or does he believe it is a magic talisman that keeps the germs away?

OP is either non-white or visibly sexual minority and he's trying to get them sick intentionally

Keep your mask on the entire time but literally only take it down for a second just to fucking fake cough right back in his face when he gets close.

"Whoops. I just don't like when it gets all wet in there. Sorry about that."

I think coughing in each other's mouths is a greeting to these people

You know that mfer doesn’t wash his hands after using the toilet too

constantly wave your arms around like the chad in the original version of the virgin & chad meme

then people can't stand within three feet of you without getting swatted

(I'm sorry you have to deal with this and I hope my dumb advice made you laugh)

I hate people that wear a mask on their chin. Just don't wear one. You look stupid in addition to being a jackass already.

It's the most arrogant move, as if they want you to smirk with them in deviance of authority. There is no authority, mf, the person wanting you to wear your mask properly is me because I don't want your spray in my face.

"You know, in medieval times, Europeans thought that strong smells could make you sick. I say this because you smell like shit (air horns)"

I'm on day 12 after a cold and still coughing. I think I'm probably not contagious now but I've been isolating for like 2 weeks. Ugh it's that time of year
