[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain what you hate about masks?  I kind of like them.  I work in a public building, and it's nice not to be sick all the time from other people's germs.  And with masks, you don't have to worry about having salad stuck in your teeth after lunch.   :wink:  [/quote]

I have a hard time gauging someone's mood.  And sometimes I have trouble understanding them when they speak.  Particularly if they have an accent.   For some reason, being able to see their mouths move helps me understand people better.  I don't have hearing loss (I just had it tested).   But I do find the masks make it difficult to communicate in stores or worse, restaurants which are noisier.

I can't smile a greeting at people who otherwise can't hear me (at work, the security guard behind glass, for example).  It just really puts a damper on a lot of the facial expressions I'm used to using with strangers to convey friendliness or greetings.    It's fine as a temporary measure, but I hate it long term.
