If someone you're with is wearing a mask, don't ask if they want you to wear one, too. Just put one on.

Masks have become contentious and it's really uncomfortable to be on the side of asking someone to mask. Don't put someone in the position of feeling like they have to give you their personal health history to rationalize their request. Just put a fucking mask on.

@Nickittynic as contentious as having to reply that due to health issues I am exempt from wearing a mask?

@At0micAndy In my part of the world, yes, much more contentious to ask someone to mask. I'm sorry to hear that health issues preclude you from wearing one, a pretty rare status, but if folks are giving you a hard time about it I would think you'd take that up with the slew of people who created bogus "medical exemptions" over other chronically ill people trying to survive an ongoing pandemic.

@Nickittynic oh i don't worry what people say, i look after myself and my family in the best way I can. you would be surprised at the number of people that can't wear masks for medical reasons too. I have a chronic condition and how other people react is their problem, not mine. I have been around too long for such things to really matter.
