In the hospital for cardiac testing & there’s a mask mandate in place.
My chart says I’m high risk.
Tech comes in with mask under her nose.
Me: “Can you please pull up your mask I’m immune compromised.”
Her: Big sigh, pulls it up “You’ve got some serious Covid anxiety eh?”
Me: “not anxiety, I’m being rational. Colds have put me in the hospital.”
Her: Another big sigh
As I’m leaving I say: “It seems really quiet here today.”
Her: “Yeah half the staff are out sick. You’re actually lucky they didn’t cancel your appointment.”
Me: Internal shrieking

Though I experience it regularly too, so I know what it feels like. (It amazes me how few wear masks at the Oncology clinics.)
On other occasions, I'm always surprised at those who try to insist I "have a coffee". Why yes, I'll wear a mask to avoid infection, but if there's COFFEE... Well, mask be damned!
Sometimes they're pressing out of habit, but basically, people are weird! (And very stupid.)
Go well.

"We have decaf!"
"It's still coffee."

I LOVE coffee, though I was definitely a tea girl before I had a child. Went off both during pregnancy and now almost drink nothing else but coffee.
My daughter on the other hand, cannot take any amount of caffeine. It sends her loopy.
Take care.
