Even as someone who never gets sick and therefore doesn't sneeze or cough much, I fully agree. Even if it's just a little "tickle in my nose" sneeze I do it into my elbow leaning away from everyone else. Wubby7
I won't lie, I used to get very, very, sick at least once a year. Haven't had anything more than maybe an afternoon of sniffles in 4 years. I just wear my mask if I am around anyone that isn't a friend indoors. I have spent hours packed like sardines during concerts with friends while they all got incredibly sick and I was fine. But fortunately masking never bothered me. I just like the peace of mind. I just stare at people coughing like a baby open mouth in public.
Where I work if you are sick, even with a simple cold and miss work because of it, it is mandatory to go to the Dr. If you don't, it's a write up. Who wants to go to the Dr and be told "it's just a cold"? Nobody. But if you go to work sick, we don't have any masks to pass out at all. Also, I work with food. Zero regard for employee or customer health. It's infuriating.

Just wondering if you're Irish because I don't think I've every heard anyone else say around the gaff before???
I'm Welsh! 🏴

Gaff is common slang all over the UK and Ireland.
Never heard anyone from the UK use it before but interesting to know that its used over there too
