At the grocery store this morning, I had my first encounter with an anti-masker in a while; they said that I didn’t need to wear a mask there.

Feeling cheeky, I replied “Sorry, pardon me?”

They repeated the dumb statement.

Then I said “Oh, I'm sorry, I can't hear stupid." and walked around the corner of the aisle. Admittedly, I did watch to see if they'd follow, but they didn’t.

I'm so tired of people being willfully dumb. #Ottawa
