So many similar bizarre memories. My two favorites both involve a bearded covidiot who insisted on masks for every in-person meeting of the men's group we both belonged to. He would come (late but masked) and then he would go make tea and take off the mask for 20 minutes or so to drink it.
At the end of another meeting I mentioned casually that if you could smell smoke while wearing a mask, it was a clear sign that the mask wouldn't block aerosolized virus. Everyone could smell smoke from somewhere outside, of course.
I had wanted to exhale clouds of cigar smoke through the sides of my tightly fitted N95 mask as an unforgettable visual demonstration, but that never happened. I just politely left the group.
