Sitting at a traffic light an hour ago, I saw a transfer-style sticker in the rear window of the SUV in front of me, that read

WHY ARE YOU WEARING A MASK IN YOUR CAR??

Two things came to mind:
1) Why are you so concerned about what other people do to protect themselves and others that you not only obsess over it but actually went to the trouble to obtain and apply this message to the back window of your car?
2. I often don't bother to pull my mask off right away when I get into the car. Sometimes I don't get around to taking it off at all between stops. Because unlike you, I don't like to imagine that my mask is hurting me, and I genuinely forget about it sometimes.

... I just noticed the other evening when I had occasion to review doorbell camera videos, that there are a lot of shots of me getting out of the car with my mask on. Apparently i forget that I have it on even more than I realize. it's just amazing that that upsets some people.

I'm reminded of the reactions when I left parties when they started passing around joints in the 1970s.
