To sprinkle yet more dread upon this 5#!+cake, I shall state that the following incident is very real. The setting: WAL-MART, NATURALLY. Time: mid-day. Personally, I don't recall why I was there, but that's not the important detail; the woman shopping a distance away was. For sake of ease, we shall call this woman Karen. Karen was shopping in the kids section. To her credit, she WAS wearing a mask. At this point you may be asking, where's the issue? Rest assured my compatriots, I'm getting there. I'm not entirely sure why I fixated on this shopper, but it was long enough for the dreaded moment that befell my eyes, and utterly b!+c#slapped my sensibilities.
This woman raised her left hand, pulled down her mask and, with that same hand, sneezed directly into it.
Now pause for a moment and TRULY LET THAT SINK IN. She removed her mask to SNEEZE INTO HER OWN HAND! This KAREN reduced the life-saving facemask measure to a mere FASHION ACCESSORY OF INCONVENIENCE!
Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is how we die as a species, the ALMIGHTY KAREN!

In fairness, I DID interject a measure of humor in my recounting, though the topic is, ultimately, deadly serious. I guess it comes down to a choice that I made during the telling; would I rather laugh or cry? I chose to see humor within the absurdity.
You're not kidding; the shopper in question made a bastardization of not only those adhering to social distancing, but the victims of this disease by those that so callously spread it.
Alright, it looks as if I need to toss a blanket statement, despite the fact that damage has clearly already been done, intentionally or otherwise. My post was merely a satirical coping mechanism to help me process what had seemed to me a great injustice. It was not my desire for the comment section to become something akin to a heated battleground. I am painfully aware that certain parties would wish me to "pick a side" however, in so doing, I would be attempting to dictate how others are SUPPOSED TO receive and interpret my words; doing so would be the act of a rank amateur, and clearly I am not that. Does this mean I am destined to die miserable and alone, clinging to my creative dignity? YOU BETCHA! F@<% MY BACKSIDE WITH A CHAINSAW! I am ultimately destined to be misunderstood, resented and hated. Such is my lot. If any of you derive ANY reaction from my writings, positive or negative, I have done my job. I do apologize for any pain or discomfort I may have inspired with this, now cursed post. Oooooohh, now it's spooky. Boo!
Yikes she sneezed into her hand...bleak🥵!! Well it sounds pretty gross especially that sneezes travel a good distance and you're supposed to sneeze in your elbow. Nobody wants to catch this dreadful virus that has taken so many lives globally. 🌍
Great post although needed as it's an important subject to bring up. It does sadden me because my friend lost 4 family members to covid-19 and is so depressed can't go to work.
Enigmaticide..sorry you had to witness that gross act & hope you were far enough away. 🙏🌞❤️
Well I have a smokers cough so if I was wearing a mask I would have to pull it down to cough, but I would use a tissue! Otherwise my face would end up slimy. Sorry for anyone eating. 😏
