Razors Edge ★ Posted January 1, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 1, 2022 I started commenting on that to my wife in 2020. Went my whole life never seeing a surgical mask littered on the ground. Since 2020? Countless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted January 1, 2022 Share #3 Posted January 1, 2022 Well, I rarely mask when I bike. Most of the routes I took cyclists were spaced adequately, etc. I actually rarely mask when walking outdoors and usually no crowds where I am / enough space to walk further away. Mask littering if not dropped accidentally, is disappointing. Is it that hard to stuff it in your pocket / purse/knapsack? How many used Kleenex tissues on ground have we seen....oh yea, they get blown away faster. They aren't that much lighter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride with only 1 or 2 others I trust that work from home or retired. But mostly solo. I gave up riding with the group. A big reason, 25 riders on mandatory mask rides and only 2 of us wearing them. Not even the ride leader who made the rule. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works its way out of a pocket or, with the disposable one, the strap breaks when it is on someone's wrist and it falls to the ground. For the most part, a mask has enough "value" to folks that they won't discard it mid-parking lot on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess some don't know and others too lazy to bend over. Lots of nice masks that I'm tempted to pick up. 😄😃😄 But I won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are usually the masks handed out at store entrances so customers are allowed to enter. It was probably hanging below their nose, if not their chin the whole time in the store. These are the same people who leave their carts in parking spaces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many used Kleenex tissues on ground have we seen....oh yea, they get blown away faster. They aren't that much lighter. I don't mask when I bike or walk the dog. I do wear an "I got my COVID vaccine" 2 1/4" badge to allay fears by the mask-wearers I pass, but I don't think that allays fears anymore with so many who a vaccinated catching Covid - though it's generally milder than among the un-vaxxed. I ALWAYS mask when I go inside a public building - supermarkets, etc. and in Central Maryland almost everyone does the same, even when it's not required. I see the cheaper, disposable masks on the ground fairly frequently and figure their wearers often decided to dispose of them and simply littered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
