To be fair to the young, I've seen people of all ages through this with arrogant attitudes who refuse to abide by the rules. The worst, for a long time, were the elderly who stood out a mile up here as the worst offenders. Then the middle aged thought it was okay to pop round to friends houses for distanced drinks when they were not supposed to. Then it became the young. The reality is that no group is clear from blame, no group is entirely responsible.
I wouldn't deem it 'arrogant'! 'Selfish' - and in some cases 'ignorant' (the 'lacking in knowledge' description) would be a better description imo.
No different in so many ways from the attitude of younger cyclists to having lights on their bike - even though it is law...they either don't see the risk; can't be bothered or think it's just not cool for their bike or their personal image.
'Arrogant' is the term I want to use, they have an inflated sense of their own vulnerability and self importance.
Absolutely correct, all groups have a number of offenders but my personal observation is that it's so much more prevalent in the young.
Nothing wrong with being an “anti masker”.
I just can’t go shopping!
I intended on being stubborn, and I’ll always cut my nose off to spite my face. But I can go shopping when it’s coat/jacket weather to go with a snood and at night when there’s no queue. So limited options but I will avoid looking like an extra out the Mask of Zorro. Just got to do a big shop before the 24th and fill the garage freezer up.
Wondering how, even if you shop quiet times, you'll feel about being the 'odd man out' or when shoppers give you the eye or ask you to put on a mask or leave the shop. Will you be apologetic, accepting and leave the shop? Or will you act as many do when asked politely to do something they don't think they should have to do?Nothing wrong with being an “anti masker”.

Fair enough. That's YOUR opinion!
A couple of guys at work have 'ventilated' ones that, according to them, eliminate that problem. Presumably a bit more expensive and not sure whether that compromises their purpose (as perhaps steaming up does) but I believe that as long as they (any mask) restrict distance, then purpose has been achieved.
