i nearly punched a 70+ year old man yesterday

it was my first time out of the house since march 18th, when my wife developed the classic symptoms of covid 19. since then, i have been out of the house to collect a paycheck, pick up dog meds and groceries via contactless pickup, and buy gardening supplies at our nearly abandoned big R store.

i went to home depot because big R was all out of fabric staples. i went in, got my stupid fucking garden staples, and was in line without getting too close to anyone. and then some asshole started hovering over me, just behind me.

i asked him to back up, please. he asked, "why should i?". i responded that he was an invited guest to the store, and should respect the stores policies, and he creeped forward even closer.

as i checked out, the cashier tried to ring him up with me. apparently, that is how close he got to me. the cashier asked if he was with me. i responded, "no, he is just an asshole"

he replied "at least i dont believe in the mainstream media". i called him a retard.

he got yet closer. it was like he was trying to hug me. i turned around and told him bluntly "the only reason i am not going to punch you in the face right now is because you are an old man". i would have clocked anyone else my age and suffered the consequences.

after i was rung up and handed my receipt i turned around suddenly and faked a punch on him. he ducked. i laughed.

i told him he was going to get punched for real very soon and walked away.

i was shaking for an hour after that. i am glad i did not punch an old retarded man. i would be in prison right now. that is the opposite of what i am trying to accomplish by almost never going out for anything

quarantine is easy. the trumptards are not

Another advantage of wearing masks is it is easy to get away with punching assholes. It is difficult to identify a masked individual. I've been assaulting people and robbing big box stores since the beginning of the lock down. Despite all this tragedy, I've never felt so free...

Indeed non descript mask, sunglasses and baggy clothes. It defeats facial recognition software and if you hunch a bit at the knee as you exit it gives a 2" height difference at a measured door.

I would have summoned up a cough right in his face. Hope your wife does OK with it.

Hi Buck,
I'm glad you restrained yourself and did not punch him. Your family needs you. I also know you stated you had been sick with Covid symptoms early on. So you may have seroconverted. If you haven't already had a blood test for antibodies I encourage you to do so.

The idiots are getting aggressive since their pied piper isn't getting his way. It's important to know what to do if one of these idiots gets in your face.

(1) Do your best to keep your back to them. If they try to get in front of you keep turning your back.
(2) When you go out wear a hat to cover your hair, some light baggy clothes over your regular clothes so you can remove them, and wash them.
(3) Always wear eye protection.
(4) If you have to go face to face with an unmasked person (closer than 6' or closer than 30' if they are yelling/coughing/sneezing/spitting) you must disinfect your mask. If it's fabric put it in with your clothes. If it's an N95 or N100, check for any biological material on the outside of the mask. If so, then carefully remove the organic contamination and then place your mask in direct sunlight for a few hours. Flip it over and repeat its exposure to sunlight for several more hours.
(5) Wash hands thoroughly or shower as soon as you are done cleaning your PPE.

As a political aside, I've had more political thoughts during the past 6 weeks or so than I've had my entire life. I've thought about showing up in politics to rant a few times. I just might, but I still feel politics is above my pay grade. Then again this isn't politics; this is trying to remain alive with a malignant narcissist at the helm.
Stay safe out there,
Annie

I probably wouldn't do that as you can be charged for assault at least in CA. Worse it requires removal of your mask and you really don't want to ruin your mask to wick bacteria etc.. through it by coughing behind it.
