Just top of my head I recall a pre Covid conversation between me and some lady in my neighborhood who confidently told me the flu shot wasn’t even worth getting because it doesn’t protect you from the stomach flu…
Some woman walking her ancient beagle and smoking a cigarette I tell her how cute her dog is and I’m wearing a mask. She tells me it’s good I’m wearing a mask to “protect your respiratories” because… they were installing 5G in the area
I’m sure there’s so many more
Oh recently in a car the person driving takes an illegal left, against a red no less, to get on the highway. I tell him it was an asshole move and you don’t get to pick and choose which traffic laws apply to you or not. He then tells me because “no one tried to stop him” it was ok?? I was like what?? Like in your car, like they should have hit you with their car to stop you (reminder it was red so they needed to run a red light to hit him for the purpose of telling him not to run a red light) otherwise it was fine for you to do? And he deadass said “yes”
