Some of the Weirdest and Funniest Coronavirus Masks Seen on Subways

We still all need to wear masks for the time being, so we don’t even want to hear any grief, okay?

And, in the meantime, why don’t we have some fun with it?!?!

Well, we’re all in luck. Because there’s an Instagram account called “Subway Creatures” that features, among other things, the really ridiculous masks (and things that pass for masks) that folks wear on the subway.

And, as you can imagine, the whole thing is pretty absurd. So let’s take a look and enjoy!

Be sure to click the arrows on the posts that have them so you can see even more hilarious masks.

1. There goes Mr. Pumpkinhead.

Well, we are in the Halloween season.

Here are the ‘Do’s and Don’t’s’ From the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic

We’ve been here before as far as pandemics go—exactly 100 years ago. But have we learned anything since then?

From 1918 to early 1920, the world was held captive by a virus known as H1N1, or the Spanish Flu. Like COVID-19, it spread across the globe within a matter of months. When it was all said and done, 500 million people—about a third of the world’s population—had been infected, and approximately 50 million people died.

COVID-19 is a different virus, but the story of its spread is quite similar; people even had the same arguments about wearing masks and social distancing that we have today. The evidence is in this “Do’s and Don’t’s” lists from the 1918 pandemic that appeared on Twitter and immediately went viral.

The most important things on the list—wearing a mask, washing your hands, and avoiding crowds—are things we’re supposed to be doing today. But even 100 years ago, we had to plead with people to heed this advice and listen to scientists.

Most people complied, but a lot didn’t; there were four waves of the disease before the pandemic ended in April 1920.

Had they done what they were supposed to do, there’s no doubt that the infection and death tolls would have been lower, and the pandemic would have ended earlier.

We’re still relatively new to COVID-19, and we can still mitigate the damage. While there’s no way of eradicating COVID-19, we can pay attention to science and keep ourselves and others safe.

You know what they say: “Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

Are you doing all you can to keep yourself and others healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic? Let us know in the comments below!

People Share Reasons (Besides the Obvious) About Why They Like Wearing Masks in Public

We’re all dealing with some serious sh*t at this moment in history.

None of us expected this to happen at the beginning of 2020, but here we are and we have to deal with it in the best way possible.

And that means WEARING A MASK when you go out in public.

Yes, it’s hot. Yes, it can fog up your glasses. Oh well! It’s not a big deal and you’re helping out yourself, your family, and complete strangers who you come into contact with.

But what are some OTHER reasons that people like wearing masks in public?

Here’s what AskReddit users had to say.

1. Not as awkward.

“It makes negotiations and awkward conversations at work so much easier!

They can’t read my face nearly as well, so I feel way more confident.

I love it.”

2. What am I thinking?

“I never realized how much emotions I unintentionally show when not wearing a mask.

Now people can’t tell what I’m thinking.”

3. Time to shine.

“I’m in the military and have to shave.

I also have to wear a mask at all times on base.

So I’m growing a goatee.

Suck it, big brother.”

4. From a dentist.

“A few of my patients said it covers their bad teeth and they feel like they can laugh and smile more with other people without feeling self-conscious.”

5. Covering it up.

“My teeth suck.

This whole mask thing has been just fantastic.”

6. Fighting allergies.

“I have terrible seasonal allergies and can’t breathe through my nose very well because I’m constantly congested.

Wearing a mask makes me feel less embarrassed to breathe through my mouth!”

7. I love this!

“My sister bought me a black mask that reads, “Spaceballs the Facemask.”

When I wear it out in public people look at me and smile. Some laugh and tell me how much they love my face mask.

It makes people happy, and considering the depressing times we need more happiness in the world.”

8. Problem: solved!

“Out in public, I often think of funny things, which causes me to smile slightly.

Before masks, if I ever made accidental eye contact with anyone during those times, they thought I was smiling at them and would smile back, or approach and try to socialize with me.

Well, I’m an extreme introvert and I hate that. Now, with masks, no one can see me smile–so that problem is solved! I’m actually going out more because of it.”

9. Anxiety.

“I have bad social anxiety and don’t speak much in public.

I’m also an opinionated b*tch.

Now I can make comments I’m public without being like “everyone heard that, they know it was you, they want you to shut up”.”

10. Just like Maverick.

“I get to pretend like I’m a fighter pilot when I pull it off and let it dangle once I get back to the safety of my car.”

11. Get to work.

“I like hiding my face so I can focus on my work easier…

If that makes sense…

I started wearing a work hat with the mask and I really like it.”

12. A real game-changer.

“Not having to smell people’s coffee breath, and people not having to smell my cigarette breath.”

13. Have a good time with it.

“I can make funny faces, talk to myself and sing and if no one is around, no one will notice.

I just love it.”

14. No one can see…

“I talk a lot in my head and sometimes accidentally mouth what I’m saying so people probably think I’m crazy but with the masks no one knows.”

15. You do you.

“I don’t have to pretend to smile at people at work.

I can get away with my usual expression of angry boredom.”

16. Mindin’ my own business.

“I don’t have to overthink whether the random people I see are acquaintances and whether i should say hi or not…

Or really i dont have to say hi to anyone whether im sure i know them or not…

I can just mind my own business and not care about anyone…”

How about you?

What are some other reasons that you don’t mind wearing a mask when you head out in public?

People Share Other Reasons Why They Like Wearing Masks in Public

We know why we should be wearing masks right now when we head outside and we’re around other people.

The scientific evidence shows that the best way to prevent the spread of this virus that is ravaging our country right now is to wear a mask.

No problem, I say! It’s not my favorite thing in the world to do, but we all need to make small sacrifices if we want to get back to normal.

But are there OTHER reasons why people like to wear masks when they go out in public…?

Let’s see what folks on AskReddit had to say.

1. Hey, that’s good!

“I had a dentist appointment before going to the grocery store the other day, no one could tell if I was drooling from being numb.

Alternatively, if I’m listening to music no one can tell if I’m mouthing the lyrics to all the good bits.”

2. Took care of that.

“My nose was running the other day it was incredibly embarrassing but I remembered nobody could tell because I was at a CVS with a mask on.”

3. Pretty funny.

“I used to smile at people when I passed them in public and it would make them smile back at me.

Now I still smile because I forget that a mask is covering my face. When I walk away I always remember and think that the person thinks I was staring at them.

I think that’s pretty funny so I enjoy wearing a mask out in public.”

4. Just look at my eyes.

“My mouth has a natural frown. It doesn’t reflect my mood, but I got “What’s the matter?” comments a lot.

Now I’m old, and it just looks cranky.

Look at my eyes, it’s all good.”

5. Self-conscious.

“I’m really uncomfortable and self-conscious of my face, especially the lower half.

Honestly I wouldn’t mind wearing a mask in public all the time, even if/when this passes.”

6. There you go!

“It covers my adult acne.

And wearing a mask has actually helped mine go away a bit because I touch my face less and don’t wear any makeup where the mask covers.

I only have one pimple on my jawline right now (for the first time in YEARS) and no one can even see it because it’s covered.

I may honestly continue wearing a mask long after all this is over.”

7. Mutter as much as you want!

“I can freely mutter to myself without fear of people seeing my lips moving…”

8. Likes what it does for him.

“Makes me look more masculine, it hides my face which in insecure about and makes my jaw seem more sharp and pronounced.

It also brings more attention to my eyes which I’m more confident about.”

9. And, there’s this.

“I like to pretend I’m an off duty ninja.”

10. Time to hide.

“I’m an introvert, so it’s like getting to hide in plain sight.”

11. No more smiles.

“I love not having to smile.

I can finally wear and conceal my neutral I-hate-everyone-and-everything face.

It’s great.”

12. Really comes in handy.

“I work in retail and I love not having to fake smile at customers.”

13. Enough with the small talk.

“People are less likely to recognize me at the Trader Joe’s my sister worked at, and I don’t have to partake in small talk I’m not interested in.

I love Trader Joe’s, just hate being distracted from my mission.”

14. I know that person!

“It’s so much easier to tell if I’ve already talked to someone. It normally takes me a while to “memorize” a persons face but now I can just be like…

“Oh that person has a green mask with polka dots. I saw them yesterday.”

They’re also really cute and I was actually thinking of buying one before all this started.”

15. Fashionable.

“I get to wear and show off the cute, hand-made masks my wife has learned how to sew! I’ve got a fox one and a bee one so far.

I absolutely love them and her.”

How about you?

A “Karen” at a Costco Pitches a Fit and Stages a Sit-in After Being Asked to Wear a Mask

There have been two cultural phenomenons that have really caused a bit of chaos this year: the advent of so-called Karens and a request that everyone wears a face mask whine in public to help limit the spread of COVID-19.

Karens are typically white women who feel that they are entitled to behave however they want, consequences be damned. Karens often take issue with all kinds of things: citizens relaxing outside, drawing on their own sidewalks, and having a BBQ have all had to deal with the wrath of Karens in the wild.

Photo Credit: Pexels

Lately, many Karens have been extra angry that they’ve been asked to wear face masks in stores.

The idea behind everyone wearing a face mask in public is that it makes everywhere safer for all of us. When you wear a cotton face mask, you help protect others.

Recently, one Karen decided that enough was enough and she was no longer going to wear a face mask in public. It all started when she went to her local Costco to return an item.

In the video, the Karen is shown immediately pitching a fit when asked to put her face mask on. It’s funny because she had it dangling from one ear, so she knew that it was required… but somehow didn’t think that requirement would apply to her.

Photo Credit: Daily Dot

The person working at Costco is so endlessly patient with her, saying:

I just need you to put that on for now while you’re in the building. That’s all. Just temporarily while you’re in here, and then you can take it right back off.

The employee also adds:

You need to have it on while you’re doing your transaction.

Photo Credit: Daily Dot

The woman refuses, noting that she believes “this is your problem.” The employee lets her know she can come back another time if she’s unwilling to put on her mask, and that’s when the woman goes full Karen.

She decides to SIT DOWN ON THE FLOOR, partially blocking the exit for other customers.

You’ve gotcha watch this nonsense for yourself.

So yeah, that happened! Wow.

What do you think about this woman’s Costco tantrum? Let us know in the comments!
