Americans are so unbelievably self centered

    My pet theory is that a significant chunk of Americans never figured out how to properly wear one and still use garbage that either doesn't fit properly or is too tight and digs into the ears. During the first month or so of covid I kinda had this struggle when masks in general were legitimately hard to find and I know people who share this sentiment

      2 years in and I’m still seeing senior citizens leaving their mask dangling under their chin.

      “If it’s uncomfortable, you’re allowed to take it all the way off, now.”

      “No, I’m good.”

        look up "face mask strap extender", just little strap with loops on both ends that attach to the mask

        they saved my ears

            it goes across the top of the back of your head, nothing touches your ears

              Ah, I think it’s my big head. The extender I tried wasn’t big enough so it slipped down to my neck.

        There's ones with the strap that go around the back of your head instead of your ears

        I also don't use the ear loop ones because they make my ears hurt
