Know how you think of a great comeback later?

Today at the grocery store, I felt appalled by all the Covidiots wearing masks with their nose uncovered. A young man with his nose uncovered coughed near me.

"With your nose uncovered, your mask is useless," I told him. He got defensive. "It's not your place to say that," he replied. "What do you care, you have your nose and mouth covered." He stomped away. "You are spreading the virus!" I called after him.

Driving home, I stewed. Running at the riverfront, I stewed. Thought of comebacks:

1. "I have no right to say that because I'm a woman? So you're selfish, stupid and sexist."

2. "Over 20 million Americans tested positive for COVID. Over 350,000 Americans have died. It's because of selfish people like you who are spreading the virus."

3. "We can catch the virus through our eyes. Why do you think medical professionals wear goggles when they care for COVID patients?

4. Don't you understand how a mask works? The vast majority of people get infected through their nose. You inhale microscopic COVID virus droplets lingering in the air.

5. "Everyone needs to confront you selfish people. Shame on you for spreading the virus! People like you are the reason over 350,000 Americans have died from COVID."

6. "Where is your empathy for others?"
