Went to the doctor's today for my annual checkup. I have asthma so I am not required to wear a mask but I was trying to be polite so I wore the stupid thing.

Until the doctor came in and told me to take the silly thing off. He said that my o2 levels were below where they should be and offered me a written excuse to not wear a mask.

I asked him what I should do if I caught the crud and he told me, "Stay home, call me and I will write you a prescription"

Wiki:

“Karen is a pejorative term used in the US and other English-speaking countries for a woman perceived to be entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is considered appropriate or necessary.

“A common stereotype is that of a white woman who uses her privilege to demand her own way at the expense of others. Depictions also include demanding to “speak to the manager”...”

‘As of 2020, the term was increasingly being used as a general-purpose term of disapproval for (bitchy) middle-aged white women.”

If nothing else it screens the atrociously vile bad breath of the many reporters running covering such idiotic “stories” as this.

If you require me to wear a mask I simply will not spend any of my money at your place of business - period. I would not be rude though.

Did your doctor happen to say anything about the o2 levels of his patients in general, not just ones like you who have asthma, and the effect of masks on these levels?

You nailed it. The “Karen” is the female moron who is the annoying self righteous crusader who is out to correct those who don’t comply. Really fun people.

Jesus called them Pharisees.

Never had a good word for them, either.

Nope. Just can tell you what he said about me.

My level had dropped to 84 and I was really feeling lousy after wearing the mask for about an hour.

After a quick treatment and taking the mask off for about 20 minutes my o2 was back up to my normal of 94.

The *_____live news sites are pimping an Amazon mask with a zipper for eating and drinking.

*Penn, NJ, Michigan, Mass...etc.

Seriously.

"The employees don’t deserve the abuse."

Could not agree with you more. These people have zero say in the policy whether it's coming down from the state, or the locality, or the owner of the store, or their corporate offices. These are the front line people making next to nothing who are simply informing people of policies they had no say in creating. What kind of person throws a drink in somebody's face or physically assaults them because they disagree with a store policy? What a massive sense of entitlement.

I think in most cases nationwide, it's the state that requires the mask.

The store owner very much wants your money; I don't think that there are too many proprietors who are thinking up ways to make your visit even more inconvenient.

I have been calling men who behave the same way “Karens.” Am I being a Karen for doing this?

This is irrespective of whether you agree with the mask policy. The employees don’t deserve the abuse.

So true. The poor workers are stuck enforcing edicts from unaccountable politicians. The pols should be taking the heat.

He did not say exactly. Maybe a strong tranquilizer so I would do what I am told. I tend to be a difficult when I am sick. :)

I think they are to be called "Chads"

Think back to Bush v. Gore, AD 2000, Broward County FL (where else).

There was all this nonsense about "dimpled chads" and "pimpled chads" and "hanging chads".

I think it is more derogatory than "Karen".
