Masks make people crazy

To wit:

Monday morning I went to the post office in Branson and entered via the exit, not realizing it was one way. It was early and nobody was there, it wasn't even open yet, I was just dropping off some mail.

I went in, mailed my postcards, and when I came out there was an older man and his wife (?) standing behind my car taking down my license plate. He yelled at me, "You'll be getting a ticket in the mail!!" I asked for what, and he said for coming in the wrong way. I told him I didn't see a sign and it was my mistake, and then he yelled at me some more - it's dangerous, I could have KILLED someone!, etc. Then he said, "Don't come back to my city if you can't follow the laws!" He was really fired up.

I thought his reaction was more hostile than my honest mistake warranted but I was polite to him. Then as I pulled out of the parking lot I realized why he was so enraged:

I wasn't wearing a mask.

He and the wife were masked up and had that combative posture going on, and then the yelling and hostility - it was way more than the situation warranted. Now granted, it WAS my mistake but I honestly didn't see the sign and didn't realize I'd done it until I saw the parking spaces going the opposite way. I'll know better next time. But this man WAY overreacted to it, and coupled with the recent kerfluffle over the mask mandate I have to believe that's what he was really angry about - my lack of mask.

It's like, wow, is this really how you want to spend your life? Yikes.

And I guess the answer is yes, this is how some people want to spend their lives.

A ticket? :roflmao:

I went in Tractor Supply a couple of weeks ago and forgot my mask. No one said anything, but I did get the stink eye. :lol:

You went in the wrong way, he said he was mad at you for going the wrong way, and you think he was mad because you weren't wearing a mask in a part of the country you freely admit most people aren't masking up in anyway?

You are way to nice.

I don't like those types and would have told him to **** off... And don't get me started on the HOA Nazis. :burning:

If you were being robbed or raped, they would have scurried away and not got involved.. hiding their faces so nobody would think they were witnesses.. but don't wear a mask???

who in there right mind, takes down a license plate because someone entered the exit of a closed post office

Someone with way too much time on their hands. Definitely the same type of person that would be upset about someone wearing a mask, but I'm not seeing how the dots connect based on the OP.
