I was at the grocery store the other day, wearing a mask, as usual.
A woman stopped me and said, "thank you for wearing a mask when you're sick."
"Oh, I'm not sick."
A realization seemed to come over her face. She then said, "oh, so you don't get sick."
I haven't been sick in over 5 years.
@PeachMcD thank you for that. I know being "the lone masker" isn't easy in a work environment these days. I work from home now, but I was working in an office as an essential worker since almost the beginning of covid until about 3 years ago when I changed positions and was able to WFH.
Even after all the distancing and masking mandates were taken down, I never stopped masking. I know it's a lot easier for someone like me (I'm a cis white male who is 6'7" and ~270lbs) to do, but a lot of other people can be openly ridiculed and bullied about it. I hope that's not the case for you, but if it ever is, I applaud you even more for not stopping.
Coworkers are happy to pretend there's absolutely nothing going on. The expression "whistling past the graveyard" was never more apt
