OHIO, USA — There’s no possible way that this far into the pandemic you haven’t seen someone whose mask is not covering their nose. It happens. There are three primary subgroups of below-the-nose mask wearers, and they are as follows:
Genuine Accidental Slippers
This is the largest demographic because it’s literally all of us. Some times your mask slips and you don’t realize it. There are two telltale indicators that your mask has inadvertently slipped.
1. People are looking at you judgmentally like you reheated French soup in the office microwave.
2. You suddenly realize you’re comfortable and breathing more easily.
Situationally Un-nosed Maskers
This demographic is mostly couples walking their dog across the street from you. They’re aware of you. If it looks like you’re going to cross and be on the same side as them, they’ll go full mask.
People Trying To Make A Statement
These are the people who consider masks to be a violation of their personal liberty but who also need milk and stuff and know that Giant Eagle won’t let you in without wearing one. This demographic intentionally wears their mask incorrectly as a petulant, low-key protest against the powers that be.
Regardless of why someone is wearing their mask below their nose, I hope this song acts as a helpful reminder to maybe tighten that bad boy up.
Please download I onto your phone and play it loudly whenever you encounter an offender. I’m sure they’ll be appreciative of the public reminder!
