You know what really grinds my gears...

Big corporations that ask me to “round up” my change or donate anything. Listen a-holes, how about you take some of your hundreds of millions or billions of dollars and you actually donate a sum that could help. Stop asking me.

Maybe they just want you to donate too, not in place of them...

Yeah, my experience is that many companies are actually fairly generous with donations. Mine matched the local food bank here in Beaver County for $1000 when I donated.

They can keep my $0.07.

My issue with that low information giving is I have no idea what portion actually makes it to the cause. When I actively donate I seek out charities with low admin costs.

I suppose giving is giving regardless but Instill like to know.

Agree with the above. I’ve been doing the round up thing at the grocery store, but it’d still be nice to know a little more.

To add to this, I’m not a fan of the “scan your receipt and we’ll donate money!” ones.

Myself, when I get into my car to go to the store and remember when I get to the end of the street that I left my mask in the house.

Why are there masks in your house at all? Our full compliment of masks are split between our two vehicles

This asinine conversation that erupts every year over Diehard and Christmas makes me want to nuke earth.

Stop it.
The plot of Die Hard is more dependent upon it taking place at Christmas than is the plot of It's A Wonderful Life. Deal with it.

At least for me, I wear it and it goes into the laundry pile.

Same. I just have to get used to leaving a clean one in the car.

We have masks in the house because our daughter tested positive and we wear them in the house now especially when she comes downstairs. Another stockpile in cars.

I really don't care either way.

I just want the conversation to end.

Btw, A Wonderful Life makes more sense when you know Jimmy Stewart was dealing with a serious case of PTSD.

Let’s not be dum-dums here.

Yes we wash our masks. Once they are washed, they all go back into the cars.

Keep your mask stockpile in your house is like keeping all your tp in the garage.

I live within walking distance to a lot of stuff. My masks are kept in a basket in the hall. One use and then it's tossed in the garment bag for washing. I probably have 15 masks.

The nicest thing about masks is being able to wipe your nose at any time. That said, when the mask starts getting moderately crusty I'll usually wash it then

Yeah, I don't wash my mask after every use (if anything, I imagine that would wear out the material faster and make it less effective) but I never have anything in my life that could be described as "moderately crusty"...
