You were a vampire

You took a very small cannonball to the elbow

-accidentally asked someone why they were returning KY jelly [<- this one was actually awkward, but that's because it was my fault]
.
-had people talk to me about their bowel movements in varying degrees of detail
.
-had guys ask me what would be a good mascara/eyeliner. Which, again, didn't make a difference to me that they wanted to know - they were just nervous out of their minds, and sadly I just happened to be the person least likely to be able to help them with that.
.
-had people ask me extensive questions about warts
.
List goes on and on.
.
The point is: this likely won't fix your anxiety. But if you're in a situation where you need to buy something but are feeling too stressed, just try to keep in mind:
.
It doesn't matter what you do or what you buy, chances are you are not the weirdest person the cashier has seen that day, let alone overall. They don't care what you're buying, and will likely forget you existed within moments of you walking out the door

This probably won't help, but if you're feeling stressed or embarrassed try to remember that there is very little you can buy in a store that a cashier hasn't seen bought before. Especially if there's a pharmacy and/or adult section. People in those places have seen and heard everything.
.
Used to work retail. Over the years:
-Had guys come in all the time and buy nothing but lubriderm and boxes of Kleenex.
.
-Had a couple girls come in a buy Plan B and hair dye, which was only notable insofar as they like to be around 14.
.
-had a guy so nervous about buying hemorrhoid ointment he reassured me about 6 times that the cream wasn't for him, and I reassured him as many times that it doesn't make a difference either way
.
-someone buy nothing but condoms and peanut butter. I didn't ask.
.
-someone buy around 9 harlequin romance novels in one go
.
-had a person ask me how you put condoms on
.

Don't you kinkshame them now

1. What I'm talking about has nothing to do with Trump. Or at least no more to do with him than any other person in a position of remote power or authority
.
2. Based on the way everything's gone so far, that is actually likely an argument AGAINST wearing masks.
.
One of the most ridiculous things I've seen in this entire pandemic is that: if Trump does or says ANYTHING, it is automatically wrong because HE is the one who said or did it. So if I follow their absolute lunacy, I have no choice but to conclude that wearing masks is about to be announced as the number one way to infect everyone else in the vicinity.
.
I detest Trump, but I have no patience or energy for the absolute disgusting sociopaths who are doing nothing but spreading more fear and more hate because they dislike the man.
.
Said it before and I'll say it again: one of the most dangerous things about this virus is that it happened during an American election year.

To make it even better, before I realized what they were trying to say, I couldn't figure out if the professor wanted her to not spread "religious propaganda" by telling people god exists, OR if he believes in God, but is a conspiracy nut and doesn't want the world to know god is real

Paint me like one of your French lizards

You win this round

They call him MISTER pigeonwizard

I'd like to judge her but this is the kind of thing that would happen to me

If you two can't clump happily I am GOING to get aggressive.

... and other places in Canada.
.
There were gaps at the sides of these masks around their faces.
.
So basically I've now come to the conclusion that both of my assessments were correct at the same time:
.
These masks DO offer protection to the person wearing them (shockandawe).... But these testing facilities also seem to simultaneously be set up to breed this virus. Not INTENTIONALLY, but that looks like it will be the result if this is the way things are being done.

Oh the downvotes are entirely expected by now. And irrelevant. Anytime anyone says anything that isn't "EVERYONE SUPERGLUE A MASK TO YOUR FACE" people get their panties all knotted up. It's standard procedure. People take it all very personally
.
As for the rest:
First - I don't have a president. And I wasn't talking about one specific country. Other testing facilities seem to be set up the exact same way regardless of location.
.
Second: you essentially just agreed that the narrative of "masks don't protect YOU from others" is a lie. I'm not sure if that was your intent.
.
Third: the masks these people were wearing are the thin blue medical masks they've been handing out at Tim Hortons.

Yes, I can see where you'd get confused. Apparently funsub can't handle italic font anymore. I swear to god it looked fine when I posted it lol

Let me try again:
