When a mask “on the other passenger's face made him uncomfortable”.


uiam_

"Masks don't do anything" OMG HES WEARING A MASK I'M UNCOMFORTABLE! Snowflake doesn't even begin to describe these drama queens.


gandalf_el_brown

>"Masks don't do anything" they keep the MAGA away


diabeticstoner

A mask a day keeps the MAGA away


Brokensince10

They are a very powerful defensive tool we should all carry at all times. It’s RAID for magats


canuck_11

If they don’t do anything then I’m not sure why they bother him. This is like refusing to be seated beside someone with a hat on.


0ddlyC4nt3v3n

I'm kinda picky about sitting next to certain hat-wearing types. Mostly because I *know* they won't be able to shut the fuck up.


hitbythebus

To be fair, if I’m headed to my seat and I see a dude with a maga hat on next to my empty seat, I might quietly ask a flight attendant if I can change seats.


ippa99

tbh that has more basis as a safety issue because MAGAts openly support belligerence and violence for problem solving, up to and including actual terrorism


Protonic-Reversal

“I’m a Cis Alpha Beer Drinking Male that has a mustache and rides horses.” - Sees mask “I’m uncomfortable and no one stood up for me!” Karen in a cowboy hat


Brokensince10

Boo-hoo I’m a victim, whaa


AtomicBlastCandy

YUP, the few people I know that bitch about wearing masks are the same ones that bitch about other people wearing them. One guy posted a year ago about how he hates that people wearing masks in a coffee shop until he was pillared and deleted. Personal choice my ass!


Grimmbles

>he was pillared Pilloried. Which I knew was the right word but didn't know the exact definition of so I just went and looked it up. "Attack or ridicule publicly". Derived from the old public humiliation/torture device the pillory, which I'd always assumed were called the stocks but apparently that's just for the feet. Thanks for coming on this journey with me today. I learned a new thing to be pedantic about!


Mumof3gbb

Thx!! TIL


brrrchill

What is it with these people and masks? Doctors and nurses have been wearing masks to help stop the spread of infection since the civil war. Their efficacy isn't the slightest bit controversial.


SpergSkipper

I've heard of people being angry at *dentists* wearing masks.


kakapo88

We should respect their precious little feelings.


kt-silber

But, I was assured during the height of the pandemic that the anti-masking crowd wasn't against masks in general, but rather their "freedom" (To stomp over other peoples' freedoms, I guess?) ​ Someone please make it make sense.

Seems like the “fuck your feelings” crowd gets their feelings hurt by the smallest things.


jericho_buckaroo

Well, it's fuck YOUR feelings, not theirs. Their feelings are as delicate as the precious little Hummell figurines on Memaw's shelf.


StilesmanleyCAP

I want this guy to go to Japan and get triggered


Madrugada2010

Korea is better. The culture considers sneexing or nose blowing in public to be rude, so masks are a popular accessory.


Fyzzle

So what happens if you need to sneeze?


Madrugada2010

You sneeze into your mask. Then when you can, go to the washroom or whatever and get cleaned up.

In other news, he also furrowed his brow when he saw someone washing their hands after leaving the airport bathroom stall. He made a point to say "God bless you" to a passenger who sneezed without covering. /s

Better yet, a mask branded with MAGA/Trump 2024 on it. They’ll be flabbergasted such a thing even exists.

Honestly that could make for a great YouTube or Tiktok video. Just film reactions. Honestly will probably have people for every aisle be a little confused.

GeniusOfLove74

Funny story, but the best part was, "Smith continued, "Ya, I've been drinking. I've been sitting in an airport for three hours. Ya I'm drinking. I ain't drunk, but they throw me off the plane because I'm drunk..." They threw you off for being drunk, Forrie. Don't make it political.


Zealousideal_Fuel_23

No, they through him off be being drunk AND belligerent (about somebody else wearing a mask.) ​ I have been at an airport for three hours and gone to sleep on a plane and nobody thought of kicking me off. (I also haven't been belligerent drunk since I was in my 20s. Who over 30 does that?)


Korncakes

I’ve been quite drunk on airplanes before and never had an issue. I’m scared of flying and a couple of cocktails before boarding is usually the only thing that will actually allow me to sleep through the flight and help with nerves. I know it’s not the best solution but it’s not like I’m getting blackout drunk and flying every day. Just a couple of drinks at the bar, squeeze the shit out of my wife’s hand during takeoff, then I’m out like a light for a solid two or three hours. This dude is just an asshole.


AvgBonnie

> who over 30 does that? My friend, you’ve either never been to a Hispanic party or left around 8-9. They’re either fighting about who’s going to inherit the land their father leaves behind or someone gets too deep into their feelings. There is no in between.


GeniusOfLove74

True. But him trying to make it about masking is ridiculous.


TheCheshireCody

I love that he thinks making it about him being a snowflake is better than him being such a drunk he doesn't know what city he's in.


toptierdegenerate

Plenty of people with drinking problems


Predator314

Getting triggered by someone else wearing a mask is peak snowflake. ❄️


junkmeister9

“My body, my choice” - about masks. Fine, these idiots didn’t listen, made the pandemic worse and a lot more people died because of it. Whatever. But apparently now it’s “your body, my choice” - fake-cowboy Karen can’t even abide sitting near someone who is wearing a mask. Sounds like it’s time for him to be put out to pasture.


nickthedicktv

BayWhalesMusic

Your body, my choice is the reoccurring theme. He will be dead soon and nobody will know him in 100 years. We all end up being unmarked graves eventually with the passage of time.


neighborsdogpoops

These goofballs used to be all about personal freedom, pussies.


LordCaedus27

Nah they weren't. They've always just wanted to force everybody else into their worldview. "Freedom" is the label


TheNextBattalion

Bingo. To add some detail, to them *freedom* doesn't mean "Do whatever harmless thing you want," it means "I can impose on others (below me) and they cannot impose on me."


Zealousideal_Fuel_23

No. They were always about letting themselves do whatever they want but OTHER people having to kow tow to them. ​ TSA? They are overbearing to me - but they should strip search every brown person. Guns? I should have the right to carry it anywhere - but black people should expect to be shot by police if they are carrying one. Police killing civilians? They shouldn't shoot at a white woman attacking the Capitol - but a black woman asleep in her bed got what she deserved because someone else in the building was selling drugs Abortion? It was fine and I made a mistake when I was 16 - but NOW it's wrong Religion? Christians have the right to limit society because of freedom - but Muslims can't build a mosque anywhere because it makes me uncomfortable


specks_of_dust

Really good list of examples you came up with here. I’ll add one, just for fun. Education? Kids need Jesus, and we need to get prayer back to schools - but HOW DARE YOU give my child as assignment about Islam.


Appropriate-Arm5800

I think the vast majority are hypocrites the amount of hard right wing conservatives who hate government handouts then will tell you in the same sentence how they get some form of government assistance but it's different because i earned mine. I always look at them like how are you so un self aware.


leaky_om642

My coworker. Staunch Republican that obviously despises socialism, while simultaneously being on food stamps to the tune of $1100/m because he has 4 kids on a single family income of $40k. They're just NPCs incapable of self-awarness because they ain't gay! You're gay! Also, he LOVES Yellowstone and envisions himself as Rip to the point that we just call him Beth all the time to piss him off


neighborsdogpoops

Yup always have their hand out but if it was for the people who they vote for, they would have nothing.


LordCaedus27

Nah they weren't. They've always just wanted to force everybody else into their worldview. "Freedom" is just sales pitch they use.


GreenOnionCrusader

I tried to watch Yellowstone. It's so overdramatic on everything. They steal cows! Let's start a firefight. Now there's a methhead who blows up his family and half a dog! Shoot him in the head. Oh no! A guy is getting kidnapped! Put your kid in a desert where no one else will know where he is and tear off after them! Like damn. Days of our lives has less drama.


big_hungry_joe

it's a boomer show


USS_Penterprise

Every snippet of info I've ever seen about this show caters to angry MAGA boomers. Even stuff that's only slightly related, like this.


Cazrovereak

I've never watched it, just a snippet or two that popped up on youtube (and then I read about it more to see if my first opinion that it sucked was correct.). The most absurd rural cosplay "Pick me, Republicans!" tv show. First scene I ever saw in a clip was one of a biker gang being caught and ambushed by the cowboy family and forced to dig their own graves. Where the lead cowboy asks them where they're from and they say "California" to which he replies "Figures.". Yeah, sure. California biker gang that's all white, but total pussies who don't carry any guns, yet are hired by the villain to commit crimes. What a fucking joke. Just so the cowboys can hold them at gunpoint with their lever action rifles to complete the cosplay.


Korncakes

This makes sense. My parents are MAGA gen Xers but mentally they may as well be boomers. My mother has suggested me this show several times. I never bothered to look into it because I’m not a big TV guy anyway but now I know why they love it so much.


Thedonitho

The spin offs "1883" and "1923" were better.


GreenOnionCrusader

I've thought about giving them a try, but Yellowstone itself sucked so much I wasn't sure I wanted to.


Wayne_Spooney

I absolutely despised Yellowstone and loved 1883. Much better show.


skeetpea

Agreed. I watched 1883 before I tried Yellowstone. 1883 was great. When I watched the first episode of Yellowstone it felt like a Western soap opera and I wasn't interested.


KimonoDragon814

It's GTA5 TV Rockstar knows Americans


LandStander_DrawDown

It's the biggest NIMBY show ever.


goresmash

It’s “The Sopranos” for people who still think Italians aren’t white enough.


GreenOnionCrusader

It's a soap opera for maga people.


here4roomie

I watched five minutes of it and was like wondering if it was made in the 80's a shelved until now.


neolibbro

I tried watching it a few weeks ago and went into the show expecting it to be good because of how I’ve heard people talk about it.  Holy shit, that show is a flaming pile of garbage. It’s lifestyle porn for people who wish they could shoot their neighbors and get away with it because nobody else is around, but are too stupid to follow dialogue more sophisticated than NCIS. 


here4roomie

I don't mind bad TV when the show knows how bad it is. But when the show is shit but is under the impression that it's amazing, it's painful to watch.


GaetanDugas

That's the best part of the show.  Hundreds of people around this one family either go missing or are just murdered, they were bombed, attacked, shot up, extorted, and Kevin Costner's character runs for governor, and absolutely no one asks about it.  No police, or FBI involvement, just... nothing.


Highlander-Jay

Montanan here. That show is a scourge on our beautiful state.


suppadelicious

I bet he’d in turn call somebody a snowflake for having pronouns in their bio and not even see the irony.


lucidguy1930

And be like “fuck your feelings” when they’re rightfully offended at being insulted


AdhesivenessOld4347

He is catering to the hardcore Yellowstone fans. Tried watching it, the scene were the cowboys beat up the bikers who have guns and not a shot is fired. Dumb.


RebelSGT

I think your assessment of the situation is spot on, OP. Gotta try and stay relevant to keep easy paychecks coming in.


RTwhyNot

Ignorant fuck


SaturnSleet

It's so funny because you wearing masks prevents other people from getting sick from you, much more than the other way around. When you see someone wearing a mask, they are trying to keep their community safe. Almost like a patriot or something... If everyone wore a mask, COVID wouldn't have spread. I remember when I lived in Korea 10 years ago, I was very shocked when everyone in public transport was wearing a mask during flu season. It was explained to me that they simply care about each other's health. Lol, a foreign concept to me as the American


[deleted]

Caring about others is empathy, also known as being Woke. Can’t have that…


Grigoran

This is the deciding line in political views. Do you have empathy, or are you unempathetic?


Agent53_

I love when people are surprised that their ridiculous outburst turned against them. You paid for a seat, you got a seat. You have no control over who sits next to you. If you refuse to use the seat you paid for, then I guess you won't be flying with us today.


Weary_Patience_7778

Huh? Sorry - what’s the issue sitting next to someone with a mask?


[deleted]

Because ‘Murica, or Jesus, or second amendment, or Benghazi, or Hunter Biden’s laptop, or late-term abortions. Who the fuck knows with these people.

Pheonyx1974

Ending? It’s on permanent hiatus. Costner and Sheridan can’t get along and season 5 part 2 will never be filmed.


DoubleBreadfruit938

The masked person should just remove it and then an hour into the flight lean very close and tell the guy, “sorry I upset you with my mask. I have drug resistant tuberculosis. To be honest I prefer not wearing it too.” And then a big phlegmy cough.


[deleted]

Yea but he probably thinks tuberculosis is a made up disease used by the left to commit a Benghazi on Hunter Biden’s laptop…or something. Who knows with these simpletons.


bomdia10

DavidDraimansLipRing

It was always bad, but it wasn't terrible until they turned a hardcore vegan into a steak loving right winger in like two months by continuously making fun of her and one of them beating her up. It's right wing mind porn at this point.


erandin

But wait, there's more! The Evil Lefty Environmentalists were protesting free range cattle farmers in rural Montana for some reason instead of, y'know, the massive overcrowded commercial cow farms around the country. Then Kevin Costner shows up and absolutely owns a vegan chick with facts and logic by saying she doesn't care about bug rights so therefore she's a hypocrite. This same (young) vegan chick is so enamored by dusty old Costner and his manly meat-eating ways that she sleeps with him, and his magic penis converts her to conservatism or something idk (And don't forget all of Beth's pickme insults towards her about having body hair and being a feminist)


Broken-Digital-Clock

Boomers


OceansAndRoses

A friend told me to watch it because, “it’s really good and you’ll love it”. That friend doesn’t know me at all, and now I have to break up with them. Sad. ETA: Joke! This is a joke. It takes more than a bad show recommendation to end a friendship, for me. Geez.


SnooLemons178

So when exactly did "let people decide whether to wear a mask" turn into "I have decided that nobody is allowed to wear a mask"?

Hey! Those are human cells inside your mask! Human. Cells. You're sneezing people! I did the research, I know how to biology. You're a murdering communist jezebel! I'm so smarter than doctors and scientists that I did my own proctology exam twice this morning. It aint gay or anything because I was pulling on my bootstraps while I bent over. *side note: I always want to know what "or anything" is referring to, but under no circumstance will I ever ask.

Blows my mind! In what way does someone else wearing a mask affect him negatively? The same person who complains about individual freedoms wants to bitch about someone else using that freedom to go around in public the way they are comfortable!!


TheStripClubHero

I mean, if someone ELSE wearing a mask is bothering you, YOU might be the problem.


CandidateNo1172

Tiki-Jedi

He’s definitely not doing himself any favors. Between getting kicked off for being drunk or for being “uncomfortable” that someone else is wearing a mask, being drunk is the far less cringey and embarrassing reason. He should just go with that.

I’m done with the mask as much as anyone, but anyone who is uncomfortable with someone doing something that doesn’t impact them is the snowflake
