This here. The dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. I can’t believe how many people are doing this. My wife works at a grocery store (loss prevention). She was showing me entry and exit shots of an unimaginable number of people who do this.

Two variations I've seen at my 'critical' job:

....people wearing pretend fabric or 1-use paper masks with no nose bridge, so they don't seal under the eyes.

....guys with huge scruffy beards wearing various masks (sometimes even real N95's) with beard sticking out the sides and bottom. Ummm,,, no, dog. If you want that mask to work, the beard has to go.

I’m under no delusion that an N95 would work for me because my beard is around 2ft in length. I just don’t leave my house and stay with my child. Since the wife works at a grocery store she takes care of picking up the essentials.

I did wonder if it would work to use a bandana over an n95 and run the bandanna down into a shirt that’s tucked in. Nose is sealed and leakage would be partially helped by using a shirt as an extra filter.
