this is along old Dewdney by Hopcott farms in Pitt Meadows, every single fricken morning doesn't matter the weather walking alone wearing a mask lol

Anyone notice a direct correlation to a person driving in a car by themselves with a mask on and being a shitty driver?

It's happened so many times to me. Shit ass driver in front of me, I eventually get beside them > dude/gal with a mask on driving by themselves :lol

I assume the mentality of being risk averse translates to the same driving habits.

Helps make the less attractive ones more attractive :awwyeah:

Mask or not, it’s always the same person

I think there's certainly a portion of the population who are socially deficient (or whatever the term is these days) and masking just further enabled that behavior.

Whoa did I just get transported back to 2021 all of a sudden?

Yes, it's part of the screening process before you go to NZ

I wore a mask before covid even existed in those exact circumstances (buses and trains get pretty crowded). Also for stinky people (people get very smelly in the summer here, especially smokers)

Also thanks to masks I'll never have to smell another public toilet ever again!

99% of masks you see on the street don't filter any smell......
It's only the charcoal ones that work extremely well for filtering smell

Unless I'm missing something here and the masks in HK are all anti-stink masks gulolololol as MG1 would say Kappa

Not talking about disposable surgery masks here

The only thing that's going to be capable of filtering "odors" is a respirator fitted with organic vapor cartridges (which are essentially filled with activated charcoal).

well in order to test fit N95/P100, you use a bittering agent with a smoke hood

so I guess they do filter smells?

Regular cartridges do not filter smells.

With regular P100 etc. you can still smell concrete dust etc. through them only the heavy duty 2 stage filters like 68 is saying actually filter smells.

So keep wearing the medical masks and telling yourself whatever ya want lol

The "bittering agent" is isoamyl acetate (banana oil). That test is only suitable for respirators with Class A OV (Organic vapour) cartridge.

trippy, they were testing in the ICU with medical N95s with the smoke hood, guess the banana oil particulates are big enough to be filtered?

Maybe you're thinking of fit test with Saccharin or Denatonium solution, which are common.

However, these solutions are detected by taste, they have no odor.

You would only get the banana oil method to check for odor if you're testing a Class A respirator.

I'm going to need a P100 respirator just reading this thread the way you guys are smelling each of your own farts.

Rather smell a fart than look like a govt. slave?

:troll:
:toot:

If I'm in a room where someone farted or has BO, I can pull my shirt up over my nose and it helps. Might not eliminate 100% of the odor, but everything helps

Mini rant -- been a regular user of the (actually really nice) gym at my condo pretty much every night since it re-opened... there's always an influx of new years resolution people at the beginning of every year but for some reason this year, a few of them are sticking around and just happens to be none of them know what a fuckin shower or deodorant are! UGH... like the air is THICK in there every time I go in. Gotta prop the doors open to try and get some freshness in.

Besides daydreaming about all the Covi germs that could be floating around, at what point can you tell a rando person that lives in your building to fuckin practice basic hygiene.

Just go in there and start spraying Axe body spray or Febreeze all around them. Hopefully they'll get the hint.

Or complain to your strata like a Karen.

i was just going to suggest spamming axe spray :lol

Back in school we used to call it a certain ethnicity shower :lol

This is the way to do it. Fuck that stinky bastard:moderatorban:
