In the vets waiting room with my dog, woman at the counter has a large well behaved black dog on a leash at her side. At one point a masked up couple holding a little dog turn to speak to her. As soon as the large dog saw the man he growled and woofed. He was freaked at the black mask the moron was wearing. Mind you, Vet not requiring masks. None of the staff is masked up. But dodo head has to wear a mask and scare animals?

People are insane.

I remember reading about some research that showed that when you could not see a person's mouth it was more difficult to determine their emotional state, and people were perceived as more aggressive than they actually were. For example someone smiling would be seen a aggressive if you could only see the eyes.

This was pre COVID, so it's now buried in a shit pile of mask propaganda and I haven't been able to find it again.

This shit will definitely fuck up a lot of kids. My son is almost 3, and he looks confused at all the mask wearing. Luckily (no luck involved) I'm not in the city so there much less of it.

Out of everyone, my dog fared worsed. She's a highly neurotic border collie who loved going to farmers markets to get patted by people. Then they shut down the markets and when they returned everyone was wearing masks. She was so confused.
