Yeah man, it wasn't a great time. I only publicly lost it once. I had a young baby at home so I was taking all the precautions imaginable at the time - early days so it was still a big scary bogeyman especially for babies and the elderly.
I'm masked up grabbing a few things at a local grocery store and this vile woman walking towards me takes off her fucking mask to do a huge sneeze. Sprayed the entire isle with visible particulate. I fucking lost it. I had a can of something in my hands and I threw it violently into the ground sending goop everywhere and started screaming about her being a disgusting bitch and asked her what the point of the mask was. Not my proudest moment. I did my best to stay home after this unless absolutely unavoidable. People are gross.
Wait, no, I mean I used my feet to do everything, which involved a lot of kicking things in a crowded space, which added that I was a teenager & a black male was probably not a good look. I was pretty agitated though, but not angry. :p
Oh yeah I got that. I'm well familiar with the weird no-hands exit technique. It's my personal favourite.
