Two angry men on separate occasions have made comments to me about masking and how I don’t need to do it. I just stare right through them and ignore,

but why are they so angry?
Might go back to the conflicting and stupid instructions we got when the pandemic started. The public health establishment lost all its credibility and continues to mess up.
Masks are a sign that things aren't the normal of 5 years ago.
Have you tried being a six foot tall male with visible anger issues themselves?
