You thought that by bowing your head and covering your face you had shown enough submissiveness to be allowed rashers. Unfortunately you just enabled the lad behind the screen to wave around the dictate and exercise authority over you
Funnily enough I encountered a similar eejit the other day. A big strapping young fella, chuffed and happy to wear a face nappy and hide behind a screen while issuing haughty decrees from his bunker. I instructed him that I was exempt. That was fine, nothing he could say. He issued the same decree to a young lassie entering the premises, she pointed at me and said heâs not wearing one. The shopkeeper informed her that I was exempt. She replied âwell if heâs exempt then so am iâ. I chuckled at this, while humbly reflecting on my ability to inspire and empower.
But back to your lowly status- basically youâre a silly bollix, not that thereâs anything unique about that. If hoking a jumper round your face doesnât convince you of this nothing will. I like to think that if Iâd been there youâd have found the courage to act differently.
And I am exempt btw- from that mask stupidity
3 kidney transplants canceled in NI over weekend. No nurses for ICU beds - partly because of a longer issue in NI and partly because 1500 fully vaccinated medical staff have been pinged and are isolating.
I know itâs silly. But until the dogma is dropped and the fear with it, Iâd still prefer to make an attempt to keep others in the store from feeling fearful.
But recognising th mask isnât this super-impervious barrier just because it comes from a packet on the shelf still seems some sight off unfortunately.
Sciene (the smartest kid in the class) is actually a dunce and still hasnât figured it around so weâre basically in a 2/3 year cycle of them flip flopping on recommendations until they finally figure it out or it fizzles into obscurity.
I respect you position, but going along with it is more likely to keep people fearful. Try saying âoh wise upâ, or âI bet you 50 euro youâll survive for a week without a maskâ
